Dallas, Texas – The ability to talk in two different languages for two different countries as a soccer writer is not your normal occupation.

In the case of Jon Arnold, it is.

As a sports writer for Goal.com, Arnold covers North American soccer, which includes the beat of the Mexican men’s national team.

“Be open to your path not going as you wanted to go,” this was said by Arnold, in his lecture to a class of sports Writing in UNT Dallas where he discuss how to become successful in this business.

In college the writer, founded useful “doing something and doing it know” because while studying he was involve with student media, newspaper and internships with channel eight and five. With this Arnold, could show the people that he had practice by “doing things to be able to put something in front of them”.

When Arnold, was not able to get a job in sports writing or media, he needed to use connections to work for a small business called Stretch Internet.

Where he had worked already for an internship in broadcasting games, so knowing him he ended up working there for three years. “It was totally outside of what I wanted to do, but I knew it was a job I would have enjoy and it was in sports” and this showed him that “goals can change and you need to be able to adapt.”

It resulted in a full time career in soccer for him, where he accomplish one of his goals this summer when he went to the World Cup in Russia to cover some games.

Another thing that came in handy for Arnold, when he was trying to get into the sports industry is to be “specialize” in something specific. “I’m the soccer guy and I also speak Spanish” with this he “provide something that no one else in the world can do” and made him attain a job for being “very marketable in the job market”.

The “mentors or the people in the industry who are establish” have helped him with honest feedback about his worked, so he has been able to lean on them for jobs like the editor from goal.com that hired him.

Arnold, also founds it important to have something to do other than working in this industry because “it is cool, but you need a hobby of not what you are doing to bring you joy and to not get bog down by all the work.”

“It is worth it to pursuit this career, go for it and if people or guest speaker do not think you are good enough, push through because it can be incredibly full feeling.”

This words from Arnold, show how much he loves his job and that he would do whatever it takes to help the people find their way to be successful in the sports industry.

The Struggles of FC Dallas to get Attention

Dallas, Texas – FC Dallas was 1 of 10 teams’ who were in the first tournament of the MLS soccer league in 1996. The club has a great amount of history, but has always had it hard to attract people to become fans in the area of Dallas.

There is many issues the team has to deal with like in the economic level, management, or sponsoring section to have a larger more loyal fan base. But, I think this are not the problems the Dallas Burns are having that is lacking them followers. The main obstacles for me are competition, location and the absences of big names.

In the city of Dallas there are four other big clubs, which are the Cowboys, Mavericks, Texas Rangers and Stars. They all compete between each other to get the most fans, so that it can benefit their team economically. By being in Texas where football, basketball and baseball are more popular than hockey or soccer. The teams from those sports get more fans making it difficult to find people who would want to go see a game of FC Dallas because they prefer to buy a ticket for the other teams’.

Also, the location of the FC Dallas Toyota stadium does not help the team because it is located in Frisco, which is an hour and 30 minutes away from downtown Dallas. Making it harder for the people to drive this far every weekend to go see a team because of the traffic and there are other places to go like the At&t stadium or the American Airlines Center where you can see other clubs.

For the Dallas Burns to get more people to go all the way to their stadium to see a game. They would need something that could encourage the fans to go like a popular soccer player in their roster, which they do not have right now. When Zlatan Ibrahimovic a player who is globally known came to played against them at their home the stadium was bouncing.

If FC Dallas want more love from people of Dallas they need to keep their economic level, management and sponsoring how it is, but they just need to find the way of dealing with the competition, location and the absences of big names.
