Let the Postings Begin... Hopefully

So I'm watching Good Morning America, or some show like that, this morning when I'm fixing Emmri (my 18 month old girl) her favorite breakfast of strawberries, bananas, and multi-grain waffles, and I see a piece on people who blog for a living.  They say that these dedicated bloggers are coming down with illnesses due to lack of sleep, exercise, etc.  This poor guy conferenced in via webcam looked like the walking dead, with a wall full of empty Red Bull cans as his back drop.  8 million viewers daily to his site. 

I can relate in a way.  It's tough for me to find time to update this site this year and I know that I won't be able to give the detail I did last year with the girls training sessions as it takes me a lot of time to design the graphics.  I will do my best to once again provide insight though as we look to kick off our spring outdoor soccer season here in MN.

I'd like to welcome our readers from the great state of Washington, from Chicago-land, and from the St Louis area.  I know you've found this site through your own local blogs and coaching websites, and I REALLY, REALLY appreciate the nearly 100 emails submitted in the last few months expressing support for what some of us are trying to do here in MN.  It means a lot to me to hear about the all-too-common battles that parents, coaches, club directors, and state level volunteers deal with when trying to address the development of the higher level athletes.  I know many of you have used this site as a resource and I've done my best to reply to every email submitted.  Trust me when I say the last few months have been a whirlwind in my soccer life, and as I've mentioned to many of you, though I haven't posted into the public domain everything that has been happening, interested readers can buy the book when it comes out :)  I'm not kidding.

Regardless, I'll do my best to keep up with updates this spring/summer.  Wish me luck.
