pretty much what to expect.

When you are tempted to give up, your breakthrough is probably around the corner. Never give up.
The measure of a person isn't where they stand in moments of comfort & convenience, but where they stand at times of challenge.
Your biggest competitor should always be yourself. Self-motivation is key. You won't be successful without it.
Focus on being a better you every single day and beating the competition will be easy.
To uncover your true potential you must first find your own limits and then you have to have the courage to blow past them. - Picabo Street

Shoregal Alumni Update:
Coach Daegen ran into an old Shoregal alumnus a few weeks ago and we would like to update everyone on what she is doing right now. Her name is Hilary George and here is a short bio on her. Hilary could be considered the greatest goalie to ever play for the Shoregals. During her high school career, she recorded 30 shutouts and is our all-time leader in that category. She played 4 yrs. on the Varsity from 1996 - 1999.
After high school, she was awarded a scholarship to Gardner-Webb Univ. in North Carolina which is a Div. 1 college. She played on the Varsity from 2000 - 2004 and during her time she recorded 14.5 shutouts which ranks second all-time at the school. She was also named a first team All-America selection by the National Christian College Athletic Assn. Hilary completed both a bachelor's and master's degrees at Gardner-Webb.
After college, she served as assistant women's soccer coach at Armstrong Atlantic State Univ. in Savannah, Georgia for 6 years. She is now entering her third year as assistant coach at the Univ. of South Carolina - Beaufort. Hilary is also a certified strength & conditioning specialist. She is talking about coming up to Avon Lake this summer and running some conditioning sessions with the girls - hopefully that will happen.
It is great to see that Hilary continued her playing career while getting an education and has now moved into the coaching ranks. A great role model for young Shoregals!!
Here are some videos of the USCB Sandsharks for you to enjoy:
