It is amazing how fast time is moving! It seems like I just returned from the NSCAA convention in St. Louis, MO...until I started receiving emails and calls to update my blog!
Everything is going so good as the program builds each and every day! We presently have seven players attending classes here at the Spencer Campus. They are all doing terrific and really demonstrating to everyone what this program will be all about. Attending classes, regular study halls, great attitudes and hard work is something they exhibit each and every day. The players that are here are on the men's side...but, the women's side is really beginning to take shape as well. I am very excited about everything that is happening.
I giggle to myself all the time when people ask me questions or make statements like, "what else do you do besides coach?" and "Is that ALL you do is coach?". Wow, I sometimes really wish those people could walk in my shoes for a day...but, it is a lot more fun just to tell them, "Yep, that's all I do is coach."
There are so many things that I am getting to work on that I normally wouldn't as a coach. One of the exciting projects that I am keeping track of now, is a new cafe at the Spencer Campus. It is not a "done" deal yet...but, it is moving forward and plans are being drawn up. It will be a great area for student-athletes to eat and hang out as there will be a lounge area there as well. It is very exciting and just one of the many things that are showing progress for the Lakers Soccer Program.
