I’ve been a soccer coach for awhile, but I needed a place to vent, discuss, and look for soccer ideas. If you have anything you want to contribute get on over there. Please let any soccer folks you might know about this site. I can use all the help I can get.
The school I coach at seems to have gotten it right…
D.S.S.T.’s first senior class has had every member be accepted to a four year college. A remarkable feat! Additionally, the school has a diverse makeup…
the senior class is 60 percent minority, 50 percent will be the first in their families to go to college and [...]
….on my way to Estes Park.
I was driving my girl’s soccer team to a game against Estes Park High School in Estes Park when the bus…died. I tried to get it going again but it just wasn’t happening. So there we were stuck on the highway in the mountains. After several minutes, [...]
Well, let’s see, between coaching soccer, running my business, grad school, and bunches of other stuff I’ve been swamped. And really the last thing I wanted to do was to write more.
But I think I have a bit of a second wind now that some of this stuff is getting more manageable. Additionally, my soccer [...]
But I can’t take it anymore.
GO ROCKIES!!!!!!!!!
There, that’s better. Especially since my boy’s high school soccer team is mired in a 9 game losing streak. I’d really like to win our soccer game today, but I want all the sports karma in this town going towards the Rox.
Besides, there’s always next year for my young [...]
It’s not everyday when Rockies, Nuggets, and Avs all win! And all three in such dramatic fashion! I can go to sleep happy. Plus Jeff Bzdelik is going to coach the University of Colorado. Woohoo!
It’s been a long time since I’ve been this upbeat about Colorado sports. Of course, they’ll all get crushed next game.
It [...]
My highschool girls soccer team did it again! A 4 - 0 win! They played really well, particularly after a gruelling practice yesterday due to some discipline issues. They don’t like me very much, but this win should ease the pain….a little.
Usually, when I blog about my high school varsity soccer teams it’s about the boys, not the girls. That’s because the boys have played before and have experience. Half my girls have never played, and the fact I even have eleven to play is an accomplishment. Needless to say that the girls soccer team has [...]
I know some people have been wondering “what the heck happened to Darren?”
Well, I’ve been busy. Really busy. Really, really busy.
Just to recap. I am taking two grad school classes to try and finish my masters in Public Relations sometime this decade. I also am the boys and girls varsity soccer coach at a high [...]
The final soccer game of the season was scheduled for today…until about 2:30p today, when I received a call from my A.D.
First some background.
The high school we were scheduled to play resides inside a children’s detention center…..a maximum security children’s detention center. Don’t get me wrong, I like to play them. Their kids [...]
