Jerry Sofocli and Jim Foley were the guys who got me the ball. Austin Daniels, who coached at South Catholic-Hartford, disagrees. He shielded the ball so well. It was very hard to tackle him. And make no mistake, if he had the ball in a scoring opportunity, he seldom missed.
Goal scorers have that instinct.
You can improve that somewhat. But really, you either have it or you don't. Bagwell had it. And former University of Hartford coach Allan Wilson knew it. It's common in high school for some players, if they're not directly involved in the play, to walk around or be lackadaisical.
