Poor Showing

For the second year in a row we traveled to Eastmont and played our worst soccer of the year. The boys were not mentally prepared for the game, after winning the first two league games they thought that if they just showed up Eastmont would give us the win. In this league you have to show up to play your best game of the season every week. Six of the seven teams in the league are within one game of each other. Yes, it's early in the season but don't expect much to change by the end of the year. The most frustrating thing about Wednesdays game wasn't that we lost, we know we won't win every game. It was that the boy's didn't play our game, they didn't do what we've been telling them all season. Eastmont is a good team but we feel that we're better, and if we play our style then we can beat them.

As coaches we are constantly thinking of ways to make our team better, when we implement a change of tactics or personnel on the field it's always to make the team better. We need the players to buy into our system and play hard every practice and every game. We need the boys to take it upon themselves to be more coachable and willing to do what is asked of them.

We have another huge game tomorrow against Sunnyside and hopefully the boys will be ready to redeem themselves.
