Konrad raises a good point

I've always liked former Naperville North girls soccer coach and current Naperville Central boys soccer coach Jay Konrad.

Like many, he's honest and straight forward about his own players (that's the key) and opposing players. He's just a very good all-around guy, who has played the sport and wants to see it continue to grow.

I received a message from him this morning and thought he was right on:

"As for Norm (Hillner), if he reads your blog and is willing to respond, it is a great opportunity for him to share his views," Konrad said. "If not, it was interesting. I would take it a step further in terms of all coaches. In light of (Michigan) Coach Carr "stepping" down, what will any of our legacies be? It is something as coaches we usually do not think about until it is too late to impact."
