Jan. 2 \u2014 Drew Burster never played on a soccer pitch until high school.<\/p>\n

However, the Newton goalkeeper made up for lost time fairly quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe started with us as a sophomore,\u201d Eagles head coach Matt Credor said. \u201cThe first year he started was the COVID year, as he got a little more experience, he really developed into a leader. Especially this year, he stepped into that position as the leader of these guys.”<\/p>\n

Credor added that it’s difficult to learn a complex sport like soccer if you don’t start at an early age.<\/p>\n

Burster was different.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs is usually the case, he didn’t struggle. Learning the basics and everything is almost impossible, especially as a goalkeeper, but he stepped in. That COVID year put a lot of pressure on us. “We won all but one game. We didn’t have a postseason. Season didn’t matter. I hate to say it, but he had a season with less pressure to learn the ropes, and that helped.”<\/p>\n

Barster finished his first season conceding 15 goals and keeping four clean sheets.<\/p>\n

He then allowed 14 goals and had 13 clean sheets in his junior year before finishing his preparation career with 10 clean sheets and 29 goals for the season.<\/p>\n

For Credor, Burster’s hard work and desire to improve helped not only that, but the team’s success as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe finds the workouts he wants to do online and brings them to us. I did,” Credor said. “He’s one of the reasons we’ve been so successful. He’s had some key games that we wouldn’t have been able to keep and likewise, it was the same last year. A lot of games. allowed us to move forward the way we had.<\/p>\n
