Komen II & Colorado College Games


The first picture is of Andy Burke winning the ball against Austin College. The second picture is right before kick - off at Colorado College on Sunday. The pictures were taken by Linda Burke.

On Friday, we played the Komen Game II. The Colonels swept this competition, raising more money than Austin College and winning the game 1-0. Last year, Austin raised more money than Centre but the Colonels won the game 3-2(1OT). In total, the Austin & Centre men's soccer teams have raised $12,300 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Creator of the Youtube Videos

Our assistant coach, David Horne, called in a favor to create these Youtube videos. While the top video is incomplete, a ton of time and effort was put into these videos. I would like to thank Rob Schenkenfelder (robrcs@aol.com) for the time spent producing these highlights.

Farm Workouts































Attached are a few a pictures from a day out at the farm with the team, during preseason. The boy's have a very difficult 2.4 mile loop that they can run in the shade. I recommend you ask any of our first year's what they thought when they first saw the hill. The training is all technical and fitness based but as important, the time to bond as a group. The lake is pristine and affords the group some well deserved R&R in between work outs. Plus we incorporated two discussions. One that focused on strengths of past players and a review of Focused For Soccer by Bill Beswick, a book the players read over the summer. A good friend smokes a pig for us and his mother puts together a spread of food that is second to none. Yet again this year, we had left overs. Which reflects how much food that is prepared. My dog tried to swim for the first time and sunk like a rock. We also had some remote controlled power boats, and while they shared the same frequency, you were able to amount duel attacks on unsuspecting swimmers.
