FOR MANY OF US, AUGUST IS A BITTERSWEET TURNING POINT IN THE CALENDAR YEAR. Summer freedom is drawing to a close, and the school bells will be ringing any day now. While the lazy days of sipping cool beverages poolside may be numbered, this month brings a sense of renewal. New routines, new clothes and new school supplies often come to mind in August.

And because we dedicated an issue to both the men and women of our community earlier this year, it would only be right to celebrate some of our cutest residents: kids and pets! Meet several local children who share their future career aspirations with us. We also whipped up a recipe for homemade dog treats on Page 22 so you can spoil your loyal companions.

Cheers to another wonderful month ahead, Greensboro.​We hope to see you around!

"HARD WORK BEATS TALENT WHEN TALENT DOESN'T WORK HARD." –TIM NOTKE

THE GOAL WITH PRACTICE IS NOT TO STOP ONCE YOU GET IT RIGHT BUT TO PRACTICE UNTIL YOU CAN NO LONGER GET IT WRONG. Practice provides you with the ability to compete against yourself, the ability to elevate your own play and provide the daily inspiration to be better than you were the day before.

Children are the most impressionable among us. Its when we are young that we have most of our beliefs instilled us, and when we should look to instill beliefs in our own children. If we teach our children the value of practice and hard work when they are young, we set them up for a lifetime of success.

To be great at any sport, you should put in roughly 30 minutes of practice every day. This week, Gabriel is working on skills. The best thing about a skills workout is the ability to do them virtually anywhere.

Greensboro Lifestyle | August 2019

EDUARDO, WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO BE A COACH? I love soccer. It’s as simple as that. My dream was to be a professional soccer player until I injured my knee,

WHAT IS THE BEST PART ABOUT COACHING KIDS?

thus ending my soccer career, but even though my career ended, that didn’t mean my love for the sport did. I wanted to be able to inspire in children the same passion that I have and be able to provide them with the tools necessary to elevate their own level of play. I love to see their potential turn into reality. It’s very rewarding for me.

YOU ARE THE CENTRAL DIRECTOR FOR FUSION, COACH MULTIPLE TEAMS, HOLD PRIVATE LESSONS AS WELL HOLD A SOCCER CLINIC. HOW DO YOU FIND A BALANCE BETWEEN IT ALL AND KEEP YOURSELF FROM BEING BURNT OUT? The biggest thing for me is that I have the support of my wonderful family. No matter where my teams play, near or far, my beautiful wife and children are always there with me. We don’t have to miss out on time together because they believe in me so much and support me in everything I do. I think another big factor is that we make a conscious effort to schedule vacation time, where we can really just take a break from everything, create memories and really just enjoy each other.

AARON, YOU ARE BEGINNING TO FOLLOW IN YOUR DAD’S FOOTSTEPS AND SHADOW PRACTICES ACTING AS AN ASSISTANT. WHAT HAS LED YOU TO WANT TO SO?

“I LOVE TO JUST WATCH THEM GROW, NOT ONLY AS A SOCCER PLAYER BUT AS AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON. COACHING ISN’T JUST ABOUT TEACHING CHILDREN THE SPORT, BUT ALSO TEACHING THEM ABOUT LIFE, HOW TO IMPLEMENT PRACTICE AND HARD WORK, DECISIONMAKING AND THE ABILITY TO WORK AS A TEAM.” –Eduardo Ulloa

I have a little brother who will do anything and everything I do, so he tries to follow my footsteps when it comes to soccer as well. I love him so much that I want him to eventually be better than me and have the ability to go further than me. So really, it was my little brother that inspired me to follow my dad’s path.

HOW DO YOU AVOID A SOCCER BURNOUT BETWEEN BEING A FULL-TIME PLAYER AS WELL AS A COACH? I’m still a kid myself, so for me, I think just having the time to still be a kid is the biggest help. Playing soccer basically full-time prevents a lot of those normal kid activities, so just making sure I still have that time to hang out with my friends, go to the mall or play Xbox helps with being burnt out because I don’t feel as if I’m missing out.

“KIDS ARE JUST SO FUNNY. THEY FIND A WAY TO MAKE EVERYTHING FUN AND SILLY, REALLY JUST REMINDING YOU TO NOT TAKE LIFE SO SERIOUSLY ALL OF THE TIME AND TO JUST HAVE FUN WITH IT.” –Aaron Ulloa

A stingray touch tank offers you the opportunity to touch rays, skates and even small sharks. We smiled and laughed as the stingrays came up to the surface just waiting to be touched.

Then we made our way to the shark tank. There’s just something about little boys and a fascination with sharks. We stayed for the keeper’s talk and learned about the benefits of sharks’ strict eating schedule.

From there, we found our way downstairs and learned about tarantulas, snakes and more. No trip would be complete without a stroll through the gift shop, a shop that truly offers something for every explorer, big or small. After spending the day there, I’m positive we have barely touched the surface of what Science Center has to teach us.

Plans for expansion, renovation and forward thinking were announced in mid-June. In the coming days, the carousel will be up and running, and groundbreaking on the Science Center’s future Revolution Ridge will take place. The Science Center is already proving to be a major player in the community’s economic impact, bringing in $77 million annually.

Autumeanrs old +8y This is Autumn. Autumn is 8 years old and loves caring for and helping others as much as she can. When asked the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, she replied, “Surgeon!” without hesitation. She says she wants to change lives by helping them when they need it most. She also says that getting to see the inside of the human body really interests her as well as simply being “really cool.” She currently enjoys reading about the human body and looks forward to learning more in her future biology classes as she grows older.

Surgeons have to go to school for a really long time—at least 10 years!

Surgeons can choose from a number of specialties, including pediatrics, orthopedics, plastics, cardiothoracic and more.

The competition level amongst surgeons and the varying specialties is very high.

Surgeons often work in pairs and/or groups in order to make it through "long-haul" surgeries.

It is not uncommon for surgeons to work more than 60 hours a week.

when he grows up, he said the Flash. When asked why, he said he wants to be the fastest person in the world and even faster than a racecar. If he were the Flash, he believes he would be able to meet the rest of the superheroes, including his “real” favorite, Batman. He wants to be able to get ice cream from all over the world in a matter of seconds, and he says he would enjoy being able to race around the world helping people with his “superspeed superpowers.”

Green Lantern is his best friend.

He likes to race with Superman even though most of their races end in a tie.

His archenemy is Captain Cold. Captain Cold has a freeze gun, which gives him the ability to slow down or stop Flash.

Flash moves so fast that he is able to not only pass through time but also into other dimensions and parallel worlds.

Sarahyears old + 10 This is Sarah. Sarah is 10 years old and loves the outdoors. When Sarah was asked what she wanted to be when she grows up, she said she would love to be a meteorologist.

She believes it would be really interesting to be able to predict the weather in order to better aid others for what to wear and what to expect. Sarah also has a fascination with storms. She would love to learn what causes them, how they form and the ability to be able to track them. Being the person who warns the community about an upcoming and dangerous storm would mean a lot to her, as they would be able to get to seek shelter and get to safety.

Meteorologists are weather scientists.

They use many tools that allow them to do their job every day, including weather balloons, satellite and radar images from space, and weather stations on land, in the sea and the sky.

Meteorologists predict the weather by researching past and current atmospheric weather patterns.

Most meteorologists work for the United States government, but they can also work on TV. You too can be a meteorologist if you love math and science.

Mattheaerws old +5y This is Matthew. Matthew is 5 years old and loves to play all types of sports. His favorite sport is basketball.

When asked what he would like to be when he grows up, it came as no surprise when he replied “a basketball player.”

His favorite player is Miami Heat’s point guard, Dwayne Wade. Matthew hopes to be as good at basketball as Wade. Matthew sats he would love to be a basketball player because then “thousands of fans would cheer him on as he plays, and that would be cool.” He says he would also love to use his popularity as a player to help out different charities or people in need.

The first basketball hoops were made out of peach baskets.

Basketball was played using a soccer ball until 1929.

Slam-dunks were illegal for nine years.

The positions of players in a basketball game are as follows: point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward and center.

Players have to be at least 19 years old to qualify for the NBA draft, even though Kobe Bryant was only 17 when he entered the NBA.

BARK IT UP If your dog doesn’t settle for plain, kick these treats up a notch by incorporating some of these dog-safe fruits and vegetables:

+ BANANAS—In moderation, bananas are great treats for dogs. Just beware of the sugar content—they shouldn’t be part of your dog’s regular diet. + BLUEBERRIES—Blueberries are a superfood full of antioxidants and fiber. Try these as a substitute to training treats. + CARROTS—Carrots are a great low-calorie snack high in beta-carotene and fiber. Chomping on them is also great for your dog’s chompers. + GREEN BEANS—Full of fiber and low in calories, plain green beans are great prepared any way! + WATERMELON—Filled with vitamins and potassium, this summer treat is sure to be your pup’s new favorite. For those dog days of summer, watermelon is a great way to keep your dog hydrated! Just be sure to remove the rind and seeds.
