(i) MAZE SOCCER FOR KICKS By Lynn Jones On Monday, Jan. 25, Mrs. Susan Brown held an organi zational meeting for the 1982 SMC soccer team. All high school students are eligible. The only equipment needed for the start of the season are sturdy running shoes, al though players may later want to buy a pair of cleats. During the last week of January, the team will be working out in the gym and running cross country. When the ground dries out a bit, it will work on ball handling drills and plays. Practices will be held Mondays through Thursdays from 4 to 5 o’clock. The first game is on March 19, so there is plenty of time to get in shape. St. Mary’s has had a soccer team for only six years, but as the years pass, student inter est increases, leading to more winning seasons. This year’s schedule includes two new opponents. One, newly opened Greensboro Day, is the farthest away. Games with Broughton are also scheduled. The season opens with Durham Academy. Oth er matches include Ravens- croft and Greenfield, SMC’s greatest soccer rival. There is a total of nine games, with NCISAA competition. How ever, the finals are not played until mid-May, after the St. Mary’s session ends. According to Mrs. Brown, the team will have around twenty-five members. Usual ly no cuts are made if every one is willing to put forth an effort. To her, a positive atti tude is one of the most impor tant elements in a player. In the past, the team has had a quick, strong defense and good ballworking on offense, but just has not been able to make the goals go. One posi tion in particular that is hard to fill is that of goalie. Anoth er problem is lack of a home field. All games are away, making practice more diffi cult. Nevertheless, the team has been aggressive on any field. THE CAREER CORNER By MGIenn Barwick According to Tom Hopkins, author of How to Master and Art of Selling, selling is the “highest paid hard work — and the lowest paid easy work.” Selling, be it a prod uct. a car. a house or a busi ness, isn’t easy. To be able to sell, and sell right, requires the burning desire to achieve, enthusiasm, fear lessness, a caring personali ty, a memorable appearance, confidence, and most impor tant of all, the ability to not take rejection personally. To be able to sell effective ly requires intuitive and psy chological approaches. For instance, Hopkins recom mends that you use the per sons name throughout your selling “speech.” This causes buyers to listen closely to your message. A seller must be able to quickly uncover negative feelings towards a product. Hopkins says “there’s no quicker way to chill your chances than to let your prospect know you think he’s a dummy for owning the product.” The career of selling pos sesses many advantages. Sellers are free to express themselves in any way. Sell ers have the freedom to be as successful as they want to be. Selling is challenging, offers high potential returns, is fun ness must cause and satisfying. Selling also has many dis advantages. Sellers are known for being pushy. If y«« don’t sel the product, you don't make a living. Selling also physically taxing. To be a seller, you can have anything from a high schoo* diploma to a masters in bus*' or advertising.
