I would like to take a few moments of your time. I am currently coaching the San Ramon Siege U16 Boys who have just won a Premiere Tournament in Southern California, the Santa Barbara Cup 2009. It was truly a battle against some extremely well prepared teams to bring home the Santa Barbara Cup back to San Ramon for the second year in a row. It was truly an amazing weekend that these boys will remember and talk about for the rest of their life.
The San Ramon Siege did not start off this season very strong. In the first two tournaments we played in this year, we lost 5 games and allowed more than 15 goals in total. As you would expect, most teams would walk away in shame, but not the San Ramon Siege. The losses only made us stronger as a team and gave us the motivation we needed in order to become a strong competitor. We trained very hard at every training, focusing on very specific goals in order to maximize our success on the field. As a team we envisioned our success everyday which prepared us mentally for the day we walked away with the 2009 Santa Barbra Cup.
We believe that this is just the beginning success for this team and are in high belief that this Siege will continue to be successful this season. I would also like to mention that not only are the players extremely successful on the field but also in school. Majority of the players are either in AP classes, the engineering program at California High School, are going to private schools, taking leadership courses or in the honors program. It is really an amazing group of gentlemen that are well rounded on and off the field.
Myself, Pat Pawloski, San Ramon Soccer Club and all the parents are extremely proud of the San Ramon Siege for believing in themselves and bringing home the cup again.
Below you will find a video that highlights the amazing day. Please enjoy and feel free to leave a comment on the YouTube Site.
Thank you again for your time and look forward to seeing you all around town.
Thanks,
Coach Derek Fox
