Start of my blog

Well, this is the start of my first blog. Somebody said once that if it wasn't written about, it never happened.

The last two seasons have been very busy with my being in teachers college and working that, in reflection, I am not 100% satisfied with what I've given my 1999 boys team. They are improving but they deserve nothing less than the best. I started this blog to keep an ongoing reflection with our 1999 boys program.  Other soccer activities will also be in the journal.

I took this team over in 2010 when they were entering U11. It wasn't something I planned to do but it's been very OK to date.

We are taking training slowly with our 1999 first and second teams and look forward to reconvening in January. I have some ideas for this group that I will expand on once we get started in January.

My assistant coach for this team is Coach Paul.  Paul is a Sargent with the Niagara Regional Police Service and a man the kids are lucky to know.

I've had some good coaches and good men work with me over 23 years.  I hope to expand a bit on all of them during this project.
