News for the Week of April 2, 2012

Program Notes for the Week of 4/2/2012:

Shoregals in the News:
Accolades continue to roll in for our players and this week we would like to mention that Emily Peterson was elected Vice President of the ALHS Key Club which is a service organization for high school students.  Congrats to Emily! 


Soccer Site of the Week:
This week we continue with a series of articles from the OYSAN - North site which can be found at:

http://www.oysan.org/Assets/2011+Parents+and+College.pdf

This week's article is entitled "College Scholarships: The Parents Guide to Coaching Assessment and the Player Development Process".   It is written by Dr. Tom Turner who is the Director of Coaching for OYSAN.  He packs a lot of info. into anything he writes and it can be rather long and this article is no exception, but it brings up a lot of good points.  Once again, we don't present these articles as this is what our coaching staff believes or agrees with, we present these as information to consider and reflect upon in the course of your soccer experience with your daughter.


Shorty Sez:
We continue to feature the teamwork philosophies from Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski who is a pre-eminent expert on leadership and teambuilding. This week's idea to reflect upon is as follows:

"A real winning attitude is about standards of excellence - which are variable from year to year, from team to team.  Being the best you can be - and doing the best you can - are the constants."

-- Coach K


Happy Easter and have a great Spring Break to all our ALHS families!!!
