I have to admit that I am an incredibly competitive person, and I have always enjoyed winning much more than losing. I have learned, over time, to take from the losses what has made me grow, but that doesn’t mean that I enjoyed it. It always feels even better to win because you should, to win because you’ve prepared well, and to win because you wanted it more. That is why the win against River Falls felt so good. We have managed to grow from the losses throughout this season and to pull from those growing experiences to get to a place that we should learn to expect.
I think it is fair to expect the level of play that we had against River and Whitewater and Hamline on a daily basis. It is a mark of a maturing team that where growth can happen it does, and then there is a humble recognition of the fact that there is always room to grow more.
We are no where near finished growing to the potential of this team or this program, and the best part about all of it is that we never will be. There will always be room for development, a chance to be challenged by better players and by better teams. We have a ways to go and we’ll go that way one game at a time, one half at a time, one play at a time and we’ll do it as a group!

About This Blog
- Coach Frank
- Thanks for visiting the Stout Soccer coach's blog. We hope that this blog will give you an extra dimension to what Stout soccer is all about. You can read the stats and watch the games, but what is it that really makes up the character of the women who put on the Stout gear every fall? Hopefully this behind the scenes look will give you a different perspective about the team and some impression of what matters to me as a coach.
