It takes time to pick the best fruit from the tree.

The work put into nurturing and ensuring the proper nutrients are provided is often overlooked and the picking seems quite simple.

The problem is who really needs the fruit and does the ones picking care if the fruit is ripe or rotten.

Quality will never be replaced by quantity.

Quantity can and should be adjusted if the quality is reducing.

Our efforts towards sorting it out for the better will be appreciated by all involved.

The rotten ones will infect the good ones faster than the reverse.

Our finishing class is focused on exactly what the name suggests: finishing. The scenarios are shaped as if we are playing right in front of the goal, and the boys and girls learn certain skills/techniques that will help them finish the play.

These skills/techniques include playing with your back to goal, quick combinations before finishing, 1v1s, proper shooting form (for both power and placement) and more.

The coaching staff had a fantastic time at these classes and have loved witnessing the enjoyment from the players in each class!

We hope to see you all back again for another 6 weeks of finishing classes in Cycle 2!

Stop! There will always be a need to make a change when the signs ahead are not in your favor.

We will need to switch the ball to the opposite side of the field while always studying the spaces that are free to advance ourselves.

Forcing our way through and sacrificing too much will leave us exposed and empty.

If we wait too long to make a change the ball will be lost as the space will slowly be closed down and our time will be limited.

To give us more time, it is important to change fields and attack when the opportunity is presented.

It will take time and effort to change however there is a need for a new approach.

Be excited for something new rather than resistant to the unknown.

We all must do the work that we made a commitment to.

When we sign up, we will definitively not know everything that will come our way, however the responsibility remains.

Getting it done and honoring the commitment is commendable and the most important piece is the way it is done.

Something that is forced and done with a lack of enthusiasm is missing the purpose.

The purpose behind will be the motivation behind executing on responsibilities with enthusiasm not just for the benefit of others but also for the health of our self.

Do all that we do Enthusiastically and we’ll be adding towards making the world a better place.
