Miamisburg Vikings

Dear players and families:

As the year comes to a close....A BIG THANK YOU to every person who touched our program this year.  We accomplished so much this year and placed another brick in our foundation for excellence.   We are on the edge of creating something really great.

How can we create that.......we must stay consistent in our desire to be great.  It takes each player wanting to be better today than they were yesterday....doing something to improve themselves.  It takes each player creating a winners' mindset....if you are able to think it and believe it, you can accomplish it.

The past two seasons we have received the following Lamber Awards (given by Dave Lamb, Dayton Daily News) as a team:

2007 Most Encouraging Team - Miamisburg closed the the boys' soccer season with five wins in its last six games to finish the regular season at 6-6-4 after a bleak start.  The Vikings also posted a come-from-behind tournament win over Tecumseh to assure themselves of their first .500 or better record in seven years.

2008 Team with Best Momentum - Miamisburg maintained its growth over the past few years to emerge as an area power.  Can the boys soccer team keep it up?  The Vikings will graduate 10 seniors, but head coach Ric Campbell seems to be instilling a solid culture of winning soccer.

What does next year hold?  The ANSWER lies within each player.....do I have the desire, commitment and belief that I can reach my potential.......will I work harder than I ever have before to become the player I DESERVE to be......the ANSWER lies within each player.

I look forward to speaking with the players and parents in a January one-on-one, our team meeting on Saturday, Jan. 31st and then starting our off-season workouts in February.

Enjoy your holidays and God bless each of you.

FOR SOCCER,

Coach Ric
