I'm Finally Back...

Okay, okay, okay...I'm back and updating my blog! To all of those faithful readers that are following the building of the Iowa Lakes Soccer Program, please forgive me for not posting in so long. But, all of your encouragement have pushed me to get this blog updated! Thank you.

It has been a pretty amazing ride since I arrived in August. The fact of the matter is that I have been much busier than I ever anticipated and the response from recruits and future student-athletes has been nothing short of amazing.

I have been on the road a lot during these last few months. I have seen our competition. More importantly, I have had the opportunity through recruiting to meet a lot of wonderful families over the past few months. I have also had the opportunity to meet a lot of wonderful people in this great community. I definitely feel at home.

The office is complete and ready for all of the future Iowa Lakes Soccer Players to come make it their headquarters. The fish aquarium is up and running....even has fish in it; so now the players have a place to relax on campus. The big screen television is up for viewing of soccer DVDs and games. Equipment is beginning to have the Iowa Lakes logos place on it. People around the community are beginning to talk about soccer! It is great!

Just think of how great it is going to be when the players get here! I can't wait...it will be a ton of fun to really be back and coaching on the pitch again!
