Unanimous Vote to Continue with After School Workouts

Yep, you read that right. The club teammates unanimously voted (or so it seemed) to continue with practices on Mon/Wed even after the final match this coming Monday. I had to laugh when one of the players suggested it was in my contract since I'm being paid. When he found out it's a volunteer gig his mouth dropped with surprise. Priceless moment!

Their enthusiasm for the sport is exhilarating and refreshing. It's obvious they love their craft and share a unique bond with one another. I'm so grateful, along with both of the other coaches, to have had the honor in working with each player and having a great time doing so. In keeping their energy alive, we'll hold 2 additional workouts: Wed 5/15 and Wed 5/22. You might be wondering about Mon 5/20. I would encourage the players to come out to the Comanches vs. Eagles last match and cheer on whomever they'd like. I'll be there to close out our club season - may even get on the pitch and ref a bit.

Anyone interested in a 5/25 Champions League viewing party? If you are, comment in the blog for a group discussion or send me an e-mail for a private thread. We've talked a lot about the goings on of the tournament and it would be fun to enjoy the final together for those interested.

Thanks again for contributing to the club experience. Your timeliness on rides for practices and games, cheering during the matches, positive energy and kind words via e-mail have been very much appreciated. I hope your players enjoyed the experience as much as I have.

See ya Monday and GO HUSKIES!!!
