There are going to be lots of hard times in your life, but those hard times only make you stronger in the end.

Every new day is another chance to change your life.
A negative mind will never give you a positive life.
Your mistakes should be your motivation, not your excuses.

As you start and end your day, be thankful for every little thing in your life. You will come to realize how blessed you truly are.
Opportunity follows struggle. It follows effort. It follows hard work. It doesn't come before.
Surround yourself with positive people who will support you when it rains, not just when it shines.
The losses help create you as much as the wins.
The sacrifice always has to be greater than the dream.

Keep the faith. The most amazing things in life tend to happen right at the moment you're about to give up hope.

Effort is fully replenishable. There is no need to save any of it. Leave every bit you have on the playing field.

Happy Mother's Day:
I would like to wish Happy Mother's Day to all our Shoregal moms who really make this program work and have given me a lot of assistance over the years. I came across a post on a soccer blog that I would like to share with everyone by an individual named Jack Heffron:
Say Thanks to Soccer Mom
By Jack Heffron on May 11, 2012.
The soccer mom. We all know her. She’s the frazzled-looking gal wheeling the minivan or SUV into the parking lot next to the fields behind the school. As the door flings open and a handful of kids tumble out, she shouts things like “Don’t forget your water bottle” and “I’m taking your sister to her practice and then I’ll be back.”
According to the stereotype, she’s sort of dull and conventional. Her life is mostly a matter of quickly prepared dinners and frantically rushing around the neighborhood dropping off and picking up kids at their games and practices.
It’s a stereotype so pervasive that we know longer actually see these real-life women in their countless variety. Nor do we appreciate enough all the things they do to keep the youth sports wheels turning. Without them, in fact, those wheels surely would grind to a halt. They take care of their own kids and keep an eye out for every member of the team. They can be counted on to cheer, to provide post-game snacks, to make sure the kids are hydrated and safe and happy. They keep score. Some are coaches. All are invaluable.
With Mother’s Day coming up, I thought we should take a few minutes to truly see these women and to say thank you. On Mother’s Day, thank the Soccer Moms who you know. It’s not always a fun job, and gratitude is rarely part of it.
The Jim Niebes Memorial 5K Run:
Wanted to pass along some news involving two former players in the Shoregal program - sisters Shannon & Erin Niebes. Shannon was a member of the first two Shoregal teams in 1993 & 1994 and her sister Erin was a four year Varsity player from 1995 -1998 and is still ranked amongst the all time leaders in goals, assists, & points scored. Sadly, this story involves the death of their father Jim Niebes from kidney cancer in Sept. of 2012. However, they have been holding a 5K race in his honor in Avon Lake since 2010 with the proceeds benefitting the Kidney Cancer Assn. The race is called the "I am Somebody" Jim Niebes Memorial 5K Run and this year's race will be held on Sat. May 10th at Weiss field. See the attached link for more info. and check it out if you get the chance.

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. - Henry Ford
The best talent is dedication.
You must be unselfish and accept the role that helps the team the most.

You can't achieve million dollar dreams, with minimum wage work ethic.

Either you use an experience to help build you and make you better, or the experience breaks you.
Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't.
Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to produce uncommon results.

Be about the cause, not the applause....Be about the game, not the fame....
There's no room for excuses when chasing a dream.
It's not just about working hard, it's about working together. You have to care more about the team than you do about yourself.
Make sure your worst enemy doesn't live between your own two ears.
Let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions be louder than your words.
A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.

Women's Pro Soccer:
Women's pro soccer is back as the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) returns for its second season. Action started this past weekend and will continue into Sept. The league now consists of 9 teams as an expansion club in Houston began play this year. The closest team to our area is the Western New York Flash who play in Rochester and are one of the best teams in the league. They feature well known National Team
players Abby Wambach and Carli Lloyd. If you want to check out a game, driving time to Rochester is about the same as to Cincinnati. For more info., go to the NWSL website at:
