My least favorite road trip will also be written about.
Most Awkward moments deserve a place. A goalkeeper owns that one.
Favorite prank...happened this preseason all because someone left something at the field...we should write about that soon, especially since the player who I got doesn't quite remember the story the way she should.
Favorite lines I had or things I told players...
One was just recently when a player told me she had $650 on her in cash. She was afraid she was going to get jumped while walking around campus. I told her "well unless you write that you have $650 on your forehead no one will know." It was much better in person.
Another one was when I made fun of our volunteer assistant coach James and the goalkeepers heard me. Somehow we were talking about planets and I said something about James miss-hit (which he rarely does) by saying "well that one went to a different universe."
The last one was via text message. I believe Dulski asked me what our teams plans were for dinner on our road trip in Pittsburgh. Since we had lost the day before, and didn't want to tell them where we were really going I texted back "McDonalds, because we need some Happy Meals.) At the time I didn't think it was all that funny, but when I saw Dulski and her roommate Nela they told me how funny they thought it was.
Speaking of dinner and Pittsburgh, I vividly remember our team being fascinated by birds in the hotel lobby which made us leave later than we should have for dinner. I was relieved that our reservations were not given away. I was so antsy while the team stared at birds. I think I joined the circle and walked towards the bus three times with the hope that someone would catch on and realize it was time to go to dinner. No one did.
Favorite players...just kidding, they are all favorites, just some more than others? It's my belief that you click with some people better than others, but I can't honestly say I've had a favorite player, or top five favorite players or even a top 10. I can't really come up with a list. I like everyone for different reasons.
SOMEONE on the team actually asked me on camera who my favorite player was. I really wonder who they expected me to say.
Other topics I will write about include
Favorite goals
Favorite moments
Favorite games
Least favorite moments
Favorite Bus Driver - Brian Boken. I'll treat this one like an award. He did such a great job at Pittsburgh/West Virginia last season. I actually called the bus company to tell them he did such a good job. He did whatever he could to help us out. Jesse and Tom Rotella have also done excellent jobs for our team as bus drivers. I do know some of their names, and I have to say that having good bus drivers makes me so much more relaxed.
Favorite post-game food
There are so many things to write about. I look forward to writing about them. Any ideas, or things you want me to write about, then just let me know.
When I am gone, so probably over the summer, I may go over each player and my memories specific to them.
I love history, and like typing up my memories, or making videos to help capture others memories. Reminiscing is fun.
Favorite Pre-Game video...
Favorite Warm-Up song...
