Day 8 Preseason

With the first week of preseason camp over we are just a day away from our first scrimmage.  Todays short, sharp morning session in perfect weather saw the players play another intrasquad scrimmage with the same intensity as yesterday as competition for starting spots is clearly heating up.

We announced of our team Captains Rudolph, Almodovar and Ranalli and I look forward to seeing them grow as leaders of the group both on and off the field as the season progresses.  All three have achieved individual success in their time at GW and I anticipate more to come for them both in the classroom and on the field.  The honor and responsibility of captaining the team is not something that is taken lightly by the players and I'm sure they will do a great job representing GW soccer and GW Athletics.

After cancelling the evening session to allow the players to get some well deserved rest and relaxation I found myself heading home early.  Still have some planning for the game tomorrow but right now I'm enjoying watching some international soccer on TV and spending some extra time with the family.

Looking forward to the game tomorrow and learning more about our team and individual players.
