On Saturday I had the honor and pleasure of interviewing Ralph Perez from the University of
Redlands. I am very grateful to Coach Perez for giving up some of his valuable time to pass on his
advice and knowlege to our soccer coaching community here at www.soccercoachingblog.com.
The interview lasted over 30 mins and covered topics such as practice exercises, use of time and
space, use of video, advice for college recruits, and ideas for recreational, club and high school
coaches.
First of all, I just wanted to say that I am blown away with all the soccer on TV right now.
In the past I would pretty much take a break from soccer once the Premier League and FA Cup
Final were over. I enjoyed the break before I was full blown into soccer again with college pre
season starting August 25th.

Jenn and I are proud to announce the latest addition to our soccer family.
Our new baby boy, Keegan, was born today, weighing in at 8lbs4oz and 21 inches long.
So, who did we name him after? His brother, Gunnar, was also named after someone famous...any
guesses?
So there you have it, a Gunnar and a Keegan.
OK, so I managed to pull it off this weekend and watch all the soccer that I wanted. I am
blessed with the fact that my wife Jenn, is almost as soccer crazy as I am.
We hung out together and watched soccer on tv, she was led on the couch (9 months pregnant)
while our 2 year old son ran around the living room.

OK, so I thought that soccer was over with for a few weeks.....how wrong could I have been.
I am now suddenly interested in the Gold Cup, the Euro 2011 Under 21s tournament in Denmark and
Major League Soccer....throw in there as well classic matches being shown on Fox Soccer....I am
beside myself trying to decide what to watch this weekend!
