Before you can win, you have to believe you are worthy.

Here’s what I tell anybody and this is what I believe. The greatest gift we have is the gift of life. We understand that. That comes from our Creator. We’re given a body. Now you may not like it, but you can maximize that body the best it can be maximized.

I always tell people I want to live to be 150 and they say why would you want to do that. I say, well there’s a few people I haven’t made mad yet, I want to get them.

If things came easy, then everybody would be great at what they did, let’s face it.

If you are determined enough and willing to pay the price, you can get it done.

Thursday game was great we continued our winning streak to 4 games. The highlight was one of the player that hasn’t had a goal all year scored twice. That makes 6 of the 7 players have now scored a goal this season.

We lost Saturdays game and once again coaches error came into play. One of our players was running a tempature and missed Thursday’s game was back and ready to play. This is also the player who has not scored a goal yet and I left him forward a little to long. So being a person always trying to improve my coaching abilities lesson learned. We have 3 game left before the tournament begins and hopefully coaches errors wont be an issue.

What a game, the kids are doing wonderful things.  Saturday’s game a couple of the defensive players(players who asked to play defense) impressed me on offense, one of the goalies was throwing the ball out of the goal with incredible accuracy.  Unfortantly due to a couple of 4th qaurter goals we lost 3-1. All seven players had to play the whole game and a few of them got tired in the fourth quarter. Two more players did get a shot on goal, that is 6 of the 8 this season. Three different players have scored.

A wise man once said “the tough part of coach is your on the sidelines.”  However, it is fun to watch the six players on the field all chase the ball at the same time.(We will have to work on that).  We lost the game 5 to 3, but some really good things happened.  Four of the eight player got a shot on goal, and one of them is a first year player.  4 down and 4 to go to make my goal of getting every player a shot at the goal.   The stratagy of pulling the defense on corner kicks worked great as we scored on our only corner kick of the game.  Tonight practice will focus on some one on one defensive drills and goalie drills.
