Coach's Corner I

The excitement has predictably built to a feverish pitch. After a rain-shortened training session on Tuesday, our preparations for our European adventure are now complete. With the enormity of the challenge ahead of us, it has been easy these past few weeks to maintain our focus as we've gone through tactical organization and set-piece patterns at a dizzying pace. We are confident now in having a constructive option capable of meeting almost any situation on the field. All that is left is to bring a sense of self-belief to the sport's biggest stage and an eagerness to demonstrate our joy while exhibiting the skills we've worked so hard to develop.
Sleep now will not come easily, even though we are already trying to adjust to European time. Our bus leaves for O'Hare early Friday morning, and tomorrow will undoubtedly be spent packing, watching the clock move too slowly, and (if rumours can be believed) making some bad choices at the barber shop.
We would like to sincerely thank all of the many family, friends, and LISC supporters who have made this opportunity possible for us. We are determined to make you proud of us, by the quality of our play, and by the dignity and sportsmanship we exhibit as we represent you. We hope you will enjoy following us on this blog as our adventure unfolds.
