Tomorrows Training (6/11) will be held at WAIS from 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM. Training Plan will be updated and posted under Team Information. Bring cleats and water. Excited to see you!

We had 25 boys show up on Tuesday – good first day – I want to see 30 there tomorrow.

The Hetrick system was our TRAINING MAN OF THE DAY yesterday and will receive a free set of shin guards.

Be on time tomorrow and ready to rock 5 minutes before 7:30 AM

Watch EDPUZZLES – being prepared is a life skill.

My google calendar continues to not display correctly – I am sorry – I am moving to another calendar and will post when that is done.

I am so excited for this season. To the boys – keep coming – even when you don’t feel like getting out of bed and getting there – do it. Great things and great joys come from lots of little things done right many times.

Boys to men!

Coach Alec will NOT be there tomorrow so we will start at 7:30 AM at the HS Gym. Please drop off there as I do not have keys to fieldhouse.

Bring cleats AND running shoes/sneakers!

We will still be done by 9:00 AM.

See you there!

What: Wilson Area Boys Soccer Club workouts

When: 7:30 AM -9:00 AM tomorrow (6/8) at WAHS Fieldhouse (building next to Dixie Cup Building).

7:30 AM – Training with us on the track

8:15 AM – Training on the field with us

Why: Get prepared for the season as a team – to be your best.

1. Parent Video is up! Can be accessed any time under “parents/guardians” section of the menu.
2. Ben Taube, Liam Caswell, and Logan Moore all have their physicals in and done. Great job boys!
3. I am assigning three young men to be responsible as Chiefs for getting their “tribes” of players to:
   • Watch the edpuzzles and stay up to date
   • Show up for workouts and field training
   • Check their email and respond to coaches feedback form in a reasonable amount of time

Enormous prize to the tribe with the highest completion/attendance rate:

Here are the TRIBES (players will be added when I find their names or redacted if they abandon us)

This Accountability/Leadership/Commitment Game Starts NOW!

Steve and Harnit need to respond to feedback forms.

Just about everyone needs to do edpuzzles.

Show us your commitment to be the best!

What should players be doing this week:

1. Visit our calendar for all events (click on it from the menu on website).
2. Watch all Edpuzzle videos posted so far (Accessible from google classroom). More will be posted soon.
3. Get out running (mile, 1/2 mile, shuttle runs, sprints) and work on core (push-ups, planks, burpees)
4. Reach out and connect with me via email. Say hi, say what your aspirations for this season are, etc.

“Even if I don’t get a goal or an assist, as long as I help the team… I don’t care. I play for the team, always”. – Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (PSG)

Play for the team. Always.

1. Over the summer we are rolling out soccer instructional videos (using give and gos and counter pressing for example). I have made these Edpuzzles in order to better hold athletes accountable for watching them. The spreadsheet I am using to track who has watched these can be found in the “Team Information” section of the website and here .
2. We will have fitness and technical testing on the first day of practice (August 17th). Make sure you are testing yourself on these metrics routinely (I am). You will see mine update daily as I look to improve every day going into the season. Every player is encouraged to send me your numbers (these must be fresh numbers – not numbers from the past) and I will post to the tracker. Remember, to start you MUST have Warrior level or higher. Check the fitness tracker regularly as I will be applying the formula soon and you can monitor how you are doing. It is found in the “Team Information” section of the website and here .

1. The calendar is working now (Thank you Mrs. Jones)

2. Free Physicals at Wilson Area Intermediate School Tomorrow (Doors open at 7:45 AM). Get these done early – no one can practice or play for the official team without an approved physical.

3. Players – check the website often and the google classroom and make sure you are doing the training recommendations, edpuzzle videos, and whatever else we have posted. A great season starts in the offseason. Impress your coaches and show your commitment to the team!

Every player should now have watched:

Leadership Edpuzzle

Using Your Teammates – Give and Go Edpuzzle

Counterpressing Edpuzzle

Players meeting edpuzzle (If they could not make the meeting for whatever reason)

Growth Mindset – we are raising the bar!

I have updated the calendar and schedule and results. Please make note – We need EVERYONE THERE!
