This week has been pretty fun for a number of reasons. Tops on the list has been the weather. Practice is always more fun when the sun is out, the air is crisp, and the grass is green.
The second has been that this week we have a singular focus: Play well against Carroll. "Winning" is something that we can think about, but mostly, if we play 90 minutes of our soccer: smart, hard, skilled Forester Soccer, we will have put ourselves in a position to come out with a victory. We can go into Homecoming Weekend feeling good about ourselves, our effort, our intensity, and our week of practice.
Not to say that we aren't pretty focused on doing all that AND winning. Just saying "victory" is sometimes out of our hands. All that other stuff we can control--effort and heart and soccer smarts, while occasionally elusive, are still more more tangible than a goal of "let's win!"
If you want to see us open up Lake Forest Homecoming Weekend with our best effort against our toughest Conference opponent, please tune in at 4:30pm tomorrow. The game will be available for viewing on the internet here
Wish us luck!
