The New Soccer Season Beings

Yesterday I realized that this Soccer team is really coming together and really becoming real. The jerseys were delivered to me. It is amazing. Not so much that they are here, but because it is something I didn't realize I was going to do. and suddenly here it is.

I've been itching all day so far to get otu of work and go play. I can't wait to use my new skills. I took Goaltending class on Wednesday. It was alot of fun and I learned alot. but I came out really sore. My hamstrings are hurting badly. They were used in ways they were not used to. Even today they still hurt, just not as badly. I'll have to find a way to get them in shape for goaltending.

Sarah Txtmsg me today. She wanted to know $ for jerseys and color socks. heh. I'm happy to see Sarah again. she was my closest friend on the team. I think we connected because we have alot of similarities. She was planning her marriage and so was I. We both have kegerators. It was cool.

Sean Wolf and The Body Restoration Clinic sponsored my team, and purchased the jerseys. It was a big step for me, and something i am glad Sean wanted to do. I always try to get him new business. I hope that this venture of ours will get him new business.

Matt also txtmsg me today. He's ready and waiting. He's sitting at home on vacation. probably eating bon-bons watching soap operas, instead of ingesting healthy gameday food. hahaha. just kidding. Matt's my goalie brother, so I hope he's ready for this. If he does half of what I did on Wed, he'll be sore.

I've been training with Hugh. He's new at this. Doesn't know what he's getting into. hahaha (shhh don't tell him). But it has been alot of fun training with him. I've taught him alot of things and in turn re taught myself. I hope that he will be able to incorporate those items into his game. I do not expect much in skill and talent. But I know he is going to give it his all. And when he does that, he will make up for his inexperience. And as he gains experience I will watch him evolve into a good player.

Lastly, Victoria, my fiancee. What can I say. I know she was mad at me about playing time and getting into the game too much. But she knows it is important. She sees this new team as a leadership thing for me. She has told me how proud of me she is that I started this team. When she says that, I am so happy and thankful she is supporting me. I know that I am doing the right thing.

To my new and old teammates. I am happy that you have joined me in this adventure. I will take the lead and take you guys to a new dimension. Thank you all for putting your trust in me. I pray that I will not let you down. We will have fun this year. and we will play our hearts out. And in the end, there will be "punch and pie" or better "beer and pizza".

Come on down and watch us. I'll post the game times as they come around. It'll be fun.

Indoor Soccer Division Champs

Friday night, we went out and dominated our opponents. And we became the Friday Night Coed Divisoin 7 Champions!! it was a good battle. We had lots of fun. The downside was we had alot of people show up. If you were on the roster and you heard we were in the championship game, you showed up. Another disadvantage of the house team.

After the game, some of us realized that this was the end of this team.

Myself, I only got to play 7 minutes in the 2nd half. I didn't even play the first half. There were so many guys that showed up. And that is the main reason why I'm leaving the team and starting my own. We can't have this influx of players in and out and not knowing what will happen who will play. I would rather have alittle more control over it. So here we go with our new team.

I enjoyed the people who came and played on this team. There were all sorts of people and players. Good bad, beginners, veterens, youth and experience.

But I look forward to playing on my new team with familiar players. People who will play for me and with me. It is an adventure that I look forward too.
