Here is a quick interview with Jimmy:
VCSoccer.com: What does it mean to you to be able to
play college soccer with your brother Jeffrey?
JC: It means a whole bunch to me. We play well
together, and I obviously enjoy having him here.
VCSoccer.com: Do you and Jeffrey room together on the
road trips?
JC: We haven't yet. We don't choose who we room with,
it's all random.
VCSoccer.com: In your opinion, how has Jeff fit into
the squad?
JC: He's fit in well. He came in the winter, so he
played in the spring, and got to know all the guys.
VCSoccer.com: How are you feeling about your senior
season so far?
JC: Confident. We've started 3-0-1 and haven't been
playing well at all, so things are very promising. I've also scored 3
goals, which is good as well.
VCSoccer.com: How are your classes going?
JC: Classes don't start until the end of September,
but I have a fairly light quarter.
VCSoccer.com I understand you recently took the
MCATs. How did that go?
JC: I did, but didn't do as well as I would have
hoped, so I'm taking it again in January.
VCSoccer.com: Are there plans for soccer for you
beyond college for you?
JC: No. I plan on going to medical school and I'm
really excited about that, so other than adult league with the
Firecrackers, there's not
time for much else.
VCSoccer.com: Any advice for the kids at VC as they
prepare for their season?
JC: Come into the season fit, enjoy soccer, and win
games.
VCSoccer.com: Is there a game or trip you’re looking
forward to this season?
JC: I always look forward to the games against
Seattle U, and then we have the freshman orientation game this year,
which is cool because the place is packed.
Thanks for your time, Jimmy, and best of luck to you this
season!
