Bless Nate, he's doing everything he can to motivate people to get in soccer shape before the season starts. We need it folks. We have a history of starting slow. What would you give to change that?
The key is touching the ball often and keeping yourself fit by playing and cross-training. You should be doing that now.
Nate has looped everyone in on weekly pickup games on Sunday mornings, 10:00 a.m., in the new Long Bridge Park near Crystal City. Last week, I believe Nate, George, Carlos, and Chris N. were there. I may join in this week.
Until last night, I had been dormant for weeks. I played in a really competitive pick up game. I had some off moments, but I did launch a left-footed bending long ball that resulted in a score. My best pass in years. Let's see if I can do it again on opening day.
Sometime withing the next 2-3 weeks let's try to get a lot of Goleros out there and make it a full size field scrimmage.
