One week! I have been Head Soccer Coach at Iowa Lakes officially for one entire week as of today. It has been a great week! There is definitely a lot of excitement throughout the Iowa Lakes Community College as well as the Spencer Community about the idea of college soccer being here. It is a great opportunity!
The only difficult part of beginning this great opportunity was having to leave my former players who I care so much about and leaving the wonderful friends that I made in Mitchell, SD. I'm not sure the players or my friends will ever know how much it hurt to have to leave them. But, they will always be a part of my life and I will cherish the many memories that we built together. Plus...they all have a really cool place to come visit me now and hang out at the Lakes (Cully, Jonesy, and Dosh)!
There is so much to do and it seems that I can't get it done fast enough! I love coming to work every day now because there is just so much to do. Beginning a soccer program from scratch is so much fun...when you have a strong support system. Here at Iowa Lakes C.C. there is definitely a VERY STRONG support system and I am so thankful for that.
I am really looking forward to hitting the recruiting trail and working with the many coaches and players around the country. It will be a lot of fun. I will work hard to keep everyone posted using this new Iowa Lakes Soccer Blog...so stay in touch and watch Iowa Lakes Soccer as we "Make a Splash" or "Catch a Wave" (I haven't decided which slogan yet...feel free to send me your opinion) in 2009!

Congrats Farley. I'm sure the folks left in your wake (haha) want what is best for you. I know I do. You deserve every success! You've worked hard for it. Enjoy the ride and make a HUGE splash at Iowa Lakes.
We're pleased to have Coach Farley on the staff at Iowa Lakes!
I'd encourage students to come meet with the coach to find out how they can continue to enjoy a sport they love -- and get a great education at a very reasonable price.

As your co-worker at the Spencer Campus, I can't begin to tell you how excited I am that you'll have a successful soccer program up and running before long here at our campus. I will be great to have more students and more young people around. Remember, come across the hall for F.U.N. anytime! :)
