Soccer Philosophy, Part 1

Ladies,
great job at the tournament this weekend! Our "preseason" is over. I will reward your third place finish this weekend with an extra scoop of ice cream after the parents game on March 25th.

And to start things off right, here's some soccer philosophy which will guide you through your soccer playing life...

1. During a soccer game you will make dozens of errors, some small, some big. Don't worry about them, just fix them.

2. There is no such thing as an "offensive" player or a "defensive" player. Everybody plays offense and defense. A goalkeeper with the ball is playing offense. A forward who loses the ball in the opponents end is the first defender.

3. A goalkeeper is only as good as the 10 players in front of her.

4. A goalscorer is finishing the work of the other ten players behind her.
