In the fourth game against Cambridge the girls were just wiped out. There is a lot of soccer to be played.

Last year I think it was tough on the girls and me because I was a first year coach. The first time I saw any of them was the first day of practice. I can kind of hit the ground running more this season. I think I am more comfortable around the girls and they are more comfortable with me.

She (Gerry) has made the single most improvement. She will be the focus of our attack this year. In girls soccer it's hard to find a goal scorer. She has that mindset. She brings a good level of toughness to our team.

Our strength is the girls will enjoy winning and losing together. I don't think that was always the case last year. It definitely will be more what can I do for the team and less individualistic. We will enjoy the highs and help each other through the lows.

I think the problem with soccer is that the girls are doing way too much. I think that if they are already playing with the national team, then they shouldn't have to or shouldn't be able to play on the other teams.

It was great for our girls' soccer team to do so well, but it did slow our team's progress a little bit early in the season.
