Regroup & Reload

With the events over the past months behind us it is time to look to the future. With shoes left to fill the talent packed roster of Sodium will have to work hard. Players will be asked to fill roles they aren't familiar with. They will be asked to elevate their already championship caliber play even higher. They will be asked to give what they may not know they have.

Undoubtedly players will join the squad. They will be hungry to prove themselves. They will push the veterans and the veterans will push back. As Tom has said all along, no one's positions are ever safe, you have to earn your role every week. The team will regroup with new faces and reload to reclaim their position on top. They will put the past behind and laser focus on the future. As the U16 year gets underway in November the girls will have had another high school season behind them (or one!) and will be ready to get to work. They will come out with a chip on their shoulder and a lot to prove. With grit, determination and heart this team will regain top honors. Sodium is made up of true fighters, a team that will not be held down.

They will never back down.
They will never give up.
They will never lose faith.

They are Sodium.

From the high school bleachers we will be cheering for them all!!!!

Surf Cup Wrap Up

Well, OSSA put together a couple of really good matches and took home the Surf Cup Championship. Congratulations.

From the sidelines
Now, on to Sodium. I understand there was more team drama this weekend. I don't know who is involved and frankly, I don't care. What I will say is those involved better get over it by next season. I saw a great post on a soccer forum that said players need to; "Suit Up, Show Up and Shut Up". Best advice I can give for Sodium right now.
With exception of Las Vegas, the only reason we didn't win every tournament we entered is because we were too wrapped up in our own team drama and it distracted from our play on the field. Sad. Sad. Sad. A team of this caliber, with the talent it possess, let petty arguments, name calling and overall childish behavior stand in the way of becoming one of the great teams. I thought we were above this but apparently, I thought wrong.

Tryouts are in August, training resumes in November. I can only hope that the individuals on this dynamic, talent rich squad do some growing up between this time and learn to put their teammates before petty differences. I can only hope that high school matures the players on this team and helps them understand the importance of the the team.

Time to grow up as a team and mature as individuals. Time to regain the greatness that is Sodium.

Until next time; GO SODIUM!!
