Not a very good start to the season! I really feel I'm to blame in this circumstance. For one I'm the coach so I've got that going for me. The other reason is these two teams were talented, we are also, but for us to play them the first two games of the year was ambitious to say the least. I wish I would of had a couple games before playing such big regional games. I guess thats why I'm still growing as a coach in my 11th year.
Losing is just awful. Its never good at the College level becauseyou are always paranoid of job security. At least I am, I'm one of the most paranoid people anyway so this job just pushes me over the edge. The other reason is losing a game(s) and having to wait a week before we play again, it kills me! Its not bad at practice because I feel like I'm doing something to make us better but outside of practice theres this clock in my head waiting for the next game! The clock is somehow connected to the acid that just bounces around in my stomach during the week.
I have to say though that I am impressed with my team. If we figure out how to defend better (lost two all region defenders to graduation) we will be a good team this year. Until then..Tick, Tick, Tick

Coach Morris says...
I for one can understand how you feel...parents, teachers, employer, employee...none can understand the pain of coaching. When things go well...you feel that is what was suppossed to happen...but losing is so much different. Having spent most of my coaching with a major focus on defense and goalkeepers...it even hurts more when we give up a score. I blame me for not teaching them...
Hang in there...wins will come and help some...but they never take the pain of a loss away.
Coach Gary
do you have Columbus day off?

Coach Morris says: Hey, maybe you could use a defender and goalkeeper coach. Next year the Morris family will be in Texas, unless our 401K is gone because of our terrible economy.
