Icarus Documentary

The Icarus documentary is a gripping and eye-opening exploration of the world of doping in professional sports. The film follows filmmaker Bryan Fogel as he sets out to investigate the use of performance-enhancing drugs in cycling, and ends up uncovering a massive scandal involving the Russian Olympic team. Through interviews with experts, athletes, and insiders, the documentary reveals the extent of the problem and the lengths to which some athletes will go to gain an edge.


One of the most striking aspects of the documentary is the way it exposes the corruption and cover-up within the international sports community. We see firsthand how the Russian government and sports officials conspired to cheat their way to victory, and how they went to great lengths to hide their activities from the world. The film also sheds light on the role of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in the scandal and raises important questions about the effectiveness of anti-doping measures and the need for reform.


Overall, the Icarus documentary is a powerful and thought-provoking film that exposes the dark side of professional sports and challenges us to think critically about our values and priorities as a society. Whether you're a sports fan or not, this is a must-see film that will leave you with a new appreciation for the importance of fair play, integrity, and the pursuit of truth.

Week 2

         This picture was taken when my friends and I went to Chicago. This was my first time going to Chicago so I was super excited and was ready to see what the Windy City had to offer. To start off the day we had an early practice so we were all ready to go by 12 and had the entire day to do sightseeing. We head off to the train station and take the 1 hour train ride to the city. Everyone was asleep for almost the entire time because of the practice we had in the morning. Once we get to the city, we walked along the river for about 30 min until we got to downtown and got to see some cool stuff. The first thing we saw I think was some sort of playhouse square looking area. Playhouse square is a very popular place in cleveland (where I'm from). The next thing we saw was the Trump tower. It was very cool and i didnt even know it was there. I also took some pictures of it and some pictures of the area. Moving on, We were on the search for some shoes. I wanted to leave the city with

Week 9

     So last week my Girlfriend came to visit me and I was super excited because I hadn't seen her since I left for college. She flew in on Friday morning and I had to pick her up at 8 a.m. which was pretty early for me because I had to get up before 7, but I didn't care. Unfortunately, I had class that day so I could really hang out with her until after 1 p.m., but after that, I showed her around the campus and we got some lunch from the cage. After that, I had practice from 6-9 or something like that. After practice, we went out to Fat Rosie and got some very good Mexican food and then we walked around Downtown Naperville for a little bit before going back to my dorm.      The next day we slept in and we decided that we should go to Chicago and see what going on over there because we don't get to go to the city often. We ended up going to the city with my friend and his girlfriend and we drove there and had to pay for overpriced parking. We should have taken the train whi

Week 8

 Week 8 of college and I finally have gotten into a good rhythm with school and soccer. Last week my mom and grandparents came to visit me from Ohio and we had a great time. We went out to dinner in downtown Naperville and I might have had the best mac and cheese ever. I forgot the place's name but I will take my girlfriend out there when she comes to visit this weekend. I haven't seen her for a few months, so I'm sure we will also have a great time.  The friendships I've created are becoming stronger, which is good because I was kinda nervous about leaving my old friends behind. Most of my friends are on the soccer team but I'm slowly making friends outside of the team so I don't think I have anything to worry about. However, soccer hasn't gotten any better. I'm still on the reserve team but I've been getting more and more minutes each game and I'm scoring a decent amount.
