Spring into Spring

This winter season was very successful as individuals and as a team. We learned that we can choice to be winners by the attitude we bring to practices and games, thus fulfilling our alternate goals.

Now, we can move forward with our heads held up high and leap into spring with great optimism.


Our 2010 summer season starts today, right now. Take sometime out, reflect on what kind of individual and team goals you would love to be part of this summer and share that with your team mates, family and friends. We can create and we have the support to make this summer one of the best soccer season we have ever had.

Leave your comments by telling me how you intend to make this summer the best soccer season you have ever had.

Playing with Intensity

There are some losses you can accept - we moved the ball, we had most of the chances but the Milton Magic wanted the game more than us. However, I would say this was one of our better games we have played in sometime... good show.

Wining games is all about being able to raise ones intensity level to sustain competition - the question is how does one do that. I realize the sooner a player starts focusing and preparing for their next game the higher their intensity level.




There is a lot of factors that help to increase a players intensity level and they vary from player to player. It all starts by reflecting back on how you prepared before your last game and did your performance live up to YOUR expectations. Continually to monitor and tweak your game preparation and experience would eventually lead you up to better understand how to increase your intensity in any soccer environment (practice or game) .

I came across an ideal check list (print it off) that will help guide you to increasing your intensity level.

If you have any other advice on how to increase ones intensity level share it with us by leaving your comments.

Playing with Passion

This weeks loss was another indication of what will happen if you don't take individual responsibility for your performance. Every thought and step you take has an outcome on how you will approach your next game and how you will finish the rest of your season.

As leaders you must look deep into your selves and ask the questions am I preforming at my very best come game time. If the answer is yes then you have nothing to be concerned with because you have done what all successful athletes do - "leave it all on the field win or loose".



If your answer is no then right now... as you read this post... is a good start to making the difference that will allow you to increase your soccer passion and performance.

Look for a soccer ball around the house and bring it with you everywhere you go (school, bed, dinner etc) do not let it out of your sight for one week. This simple drill will allow you the access to play soccer at a level you have never played before.
