Miamisburg Vikings

Dear Soccer Players ( and families ):

As we approach the remaining three weeks of the season, the question..."How good are we?" is like a neon sign in my brain.  As the head coach...did I have expectations that were too high....did the loss of some players impact us more than I thought...are other teams better or are we underachieving?  

I wish I knew the exact truth, but an even better question is "Do we want to achieve our potential?"  The great news is that this week is the second step on our quest to win a conference championship (something no other boys' soccer team has done).  

Tomorrow, we host the Springboro Panthers....a team we have not beaten in 10 years.  They are ranked 5th in the area and provide a great hurdle to us achieving one of our team goals.  We have the ability to compete in this game, but we must come prepared to give our very best.

Our second match of the week is at home versus Springfield North.  Another chance for us to add to our victory column as the Panthers are struggling this year.

I look forward to these last three weeks as a great chance to show how good we are and to reach our potential.  We can win the last 6 matches "IF" we play our best as a team.  In doing so, we will answer all the questions above and gain some much needed confidence in our own ability.

A quick reminder to stay focused on your school work.  We cannot afford to lose anyone because of grades.  Also, make the right choices regarding your actions.  We need to be a team of character.  

For Soccer,

Coach Ric
