There are days when we have played without enthusiasm or were out-skilled by a more talented team. We have celebrated our victories, yet we have also held our heads high in defeat. Skills are taught to allow our athletes to meet with success and be contributing members of a team. No one player is more important than the team. Everyone contributes to making the team better.
Coaches demand exemplary sportsmanship and proper etiquette.
BCD athletes represent our school and are not allowed to embarrass our institution. This fall I am coaching the Farm Team soccer team with Julie Broderick and Jim Fawcett. I am learning a lot about soccer from the students and the coaches, for I never played it. Being on the field with our youngest players, as well as circulating to our other fields from time to time, I witness an outstanding program that is healthy and right for our children. The children take the field with confidence because they know what to do.
