Speed Training with Angela Bailey

Speed is a critical asset in most sports. Knowing the fundamentals of how to run with technique and form is key in being able to continually develop ones speed. Well, I worked out the details with Angela Bailey Canada's Olympic Medalist. Angela will be donating two evenings this month towards training the Erin Mills 97 Rising Eagles and guests on how to run with lighting speed.

Angela worked with our girls last year and all the girls and parents were excited and had fun. Angela was able to keep the two hours of training engaging, interactive and educational.


It takes a big commitment, dedication and hard work to be able to acclaim Olympic status. The girls will have the privilege to tap into and learn from Angela Bailey's journey to her personal best.

The few years I've coached competitive girls soccer - I've shared my experiences and challenges with Angela whereby she has written a few web articles of great help.

Staying on Top of your Game

Better effort today - we just came up a goal short to a team that wanted to win a little more than us - in my view they did deserve this game however, we did have our fare amount of chances to win.

We are now in second place at Hershey playing the first place team our "B" team next week. Even through we beat them twice this regular season the big question to me is "are we learning how to win games?"


When your winning or on top of your game what does it take to stay there?

It takes dedication and hard work to be on top of your game- it much easier to adjust and make changes as you challenge your self to climb the ladder aiming for the team or person at the top. This is why I have a new found respect for teams or individuals that constantly remain at the top of their division or profession year in and year out winning championships.

What do you feel we can add to our game to improve consistent play?

Our First Loss

Tough loss Erin Mills Rising Eagles, to the 98 Mississauga Falcon team, we just couldn’t match their energy and commitment today.

Over the last few weeks my coaching style has come under attack and maybe justifiably so. I’m a hard nose, high energy committed coach that demands accountability on and off the field and I understand that approach works with some and not others.

As the head coach of the Rising Eagles and reflecting back on today’s game made me realize I needed to explore less of an emotional and enthusiastic attachment to the outcome of games.

As this team continues to grow and succeed we will be challenged with new obstacle and setbacks it is how we handle these situation that will determine our success going forward.

Jan 10, 2010 game Vs Erin Mills "B" Team

Big win today Rising Eagles Vs Erin Mills "B" Team, “way to stay in there”.

Thank you, everyone that informed me about Hershey Center’s score posting slip up.

It was a very interesting win Kiersten was the difference again in today’s win, however we played well enough to hold of our B team, what made today’s win so interesting was all the games played today was decided by 1 goal and there was 1 tie. It seemed to me as I looked over the game scores - most of the teams struggled with their first game back after the holidays but, the teams that have the better, stronger and talented players won.

Provide your feedback on any thing that stood out to you on this win today or just say some words of support for the team.

If you have not had the opportunity to be team captain let me know and also, I’m looking for a few players interesting in helping post messages, article or whatever that is more in tune with you girls’ requirements and style on this blog.
