My Year Three
Posted on February 6, 2013 at 3:00 0 Comments 0 Favorites
Hello World!
Anyone that has been associated with the women's soccer world, especially at the American professional level knows that year three tends to be the time in which the survival or demise of just about anything is determined. Since, reviewing on my past blog posts at Women's Soccer United, it has been brought to my attention that I am beginning the approach of my 'year three' in the Women's Soccer United world, and realistically 'year three' of my adventures in the women's…

If there is a truth of consistency among women's soccer in the United States it is simply this; inconsistency.
In the past months and weeks we, the women's soccer world, have been brought to hype, the boiling point, and introduced to the newest rendition of what women's soccer can look like in the North America: the National Women's Soccer League [I would link their name, but there isn't a…

Greetings,
I want to take a brief moment and ask this simple question:
Does anyone else remember when there was a simple though of creating a women's premier soccer team in the Kansas City area?
You too?
A year ago I would have never believed the Kansas City Shock would have been a reality, cruising through Kansas City, talking shop, and dreaming big. I would not have imagined that we would have become so big that our tryout…

*Deep Breath*
*Count To Three*
*Repeat*
You would not believe how many time, the moment I wake up, I have to go through this process, follow by this simple question:
Is this real life?
Several months ago I embarked on an endeavor a challenge, a goal; to develop women's soccer at the premier level in the City of Fountains; known commonly as Kansas City.
Versus coastal cities in the United States, and…

From the comforts of northwest Missouri I write to you, the world of women's soccer; those engaging in growing the beautiful game.How I've missed this template.In recent months I've embarked on a rather exciting, heart stopping adventure named merely as: the Kansas City Shock. Kansas City, Missouri/Kansas [there are two separate cities] is home to one of the top venues of soccer specific stadiums [Livestrong Sporting Park] and one of the top MLS programs in the United States; Sporting Kansas…See More
Scott Viar commented on Shawn Michael Daugherty's blog post Weekly Wrap: WUSA--->WPS--->??"Lars, the phenomena here in the States is a combination of indifference and antipathy.

Scott Viar commented on Shawn Michael Daugherty's blog post Weekly Wrap: WUSA--->WPS--->??"The local I refer to is that clubs need to focus on their local communities for support and talent and need not engage in the mass trucking in of players/coaches from around the country/globe.

Scott Viar commented on Shawn Michael Daugherty's blog post Weekly Wrap: WUSA--->WPS--->??"You hit the nail on the head with that last statement.

That's ok :) Hope all is well. I can only imagine the freezing temperatures!!
Good point about the nordic play structure, I hadn't thought of that. I suppose the other 3 teams play each other regularly as well, so that is another advantage to them. Hopefully we will be able to see another of the matches tomorrow.
