Each day, I receive countless emails from coaches, parents, adminstrators and yes, even players.
Here are some items from those emails that have made me go hmmmmmm:
"Is it wrong to let a player score more than five goals in a game? You don't punish success. You reward success. Is it a player's fault that even though a team puts three or four people on them and still can't stop them? I don't know what we're coming to in this world if we don't reward success."
"Beth Sauser has been in charge of boys soccer for the IHSA since 1999. What has she done in the nine years to really help the sport?"
"Don't you think it's ironic there are football coaches out there who rip the sport of soccer, but then turn around and beg soccer coaches to help them with their kicking situations?"
And finally, we continue our look back. Here's a note from our March 16, 2000 issue:
Former Providence boys and girls soccer coach Andy Newcomb is now an assistant coach girls soccer coach at Lyons.
"It's nice to have the opportunity to get back out in the 30-degree weather and coach," Newcomb said. "Right now, I'm just trying to fit in with the program, because I'm going to be here for awhile."
When the 2008 girls soccer season kicks off in February, there's a good chance Newcomb and a lot of other coaches throughout the area will wish it was 30 degrees.
