As a coach I can develop players to a certain extent, but I can't teach experience. Therefore, I recruit for it. I like to recruit players that are accustomed to winning and have a problem with losing. This is the mentality that we have in our program here at Wittenberg. These characteristics are what factor in as the most important aspects that I look for in a prospective student-athlete for the women's soccer program here at Wittenberg.
Preseason starts approximately one week prior to the first day of classes.
Our fall, or traditional season, lasts from September 1st and continues through the end of October. Depending on the amount of success that we have in a particular year, we may extend our season through the beginning or middle of November. The NCAA Division III Final Four is held during the third weekend of November. Soon after our fall or traditional season has concluded, we hold a women's soccer banquet. The week following our banquet, I hold individual meetings with the players to review their performance during the fall, and to set goals for the upcoming spring, or nontraditional season.
