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.

I am delighted to announce that I had the honor of interviewing coaches Dean Wurzberger and Carlos Juarez over the weekend. Both coaches were kind enough to let me have some of their valuable time as they were staffing the USSF National B license at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California.

Husky coach Dean Wurzberger resigned on Dec.

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.

Friday witnessed the changing of the guard as my college team had its end of season soccer banquet.

I said goodbye to my players and handed over the reigns to the new coach in an entertaining, fun and emotional night.

The players were wonderful and gave me a book of stories and messages as a thank you and I have posted some of their comments on the "Testimonials"page.

My assistant coach for the last 4 years, Jerome Millett, kindly put together this slideshow of some of the magic moments coaching our college soccer team over the last 4 years....
