What is it about our daughters? We look at them in all their varying shapes, sizes and attitudes – and, see princesses. Mixed with that is the uneasy realization that we have to prepare them for a world that will often hurt them while they work tirelessly (we expect) to help make it a better [...]

Time to start thinking about getting fit ladies. We are looking for a tournament in August. Who wants the ball? Coach Brian
Great scrimmage last night (Tuesday). Much improved close-quarters passing (those drills are paying-off). Solid communication. Determination was greatly evident. Three goals in five minutes with a shut-out says it all. Hope to most everyone tomorrow Thursday for practice. But, have a great Spring Break. Be ready for our two matches with NSA Magic and Revolution [...]
Big, heart-felt thanks to Tara Minnix and Carolyn Ford of the Atlanta Silverbacks for working with our Shockers! Group photo by our inestimable Team Manager (Main Mom) Patty Wojcik.
We have Tara Minnix, a standout Defender with the Atlanta Womens Silverbacks joining the Shockers for practice Thursday the 5th. We will, essentially, have Tara run practice that evening. Here are some of her player statistics (these don’t include 2008 when the Lady Silverbacks had an undefeated regular season): W-League: 2007—Became all-time Silverback appearance leader [...]
I had some sad little kittens (decidedly not mighty tigers) on my hands this evening after practice and a short scrimmage. We did pretty good with some drills early on. But, we had a tough time holding our ground against a sister Fusion squad in a scrimmage. Afterwards I told them the only way they [...]
In the next few weeks, we will have a special (Shockers only) mini-camp with select members of the Lady Atlanta Silverbacks. Coach Brian
Our skills sharpen each practice – as does confidence and team unity. Erin joined us last night, and she fit right in – mostly because the girls have big hearts and Erin put forth a solid effort. Our Defense needs to FOCUS. Our Forwards are being encouraged to SHOOT. But, also to fearlessly dribble the [...]
For Monday’s scrimmage at Fusion, I am looking and hoping for three things: 1. Our wanting and fighting the other team for the ball. 2. Controlling the ball; don’t kick the ball wildly. 3. Communicating with and encouraging one another. Those things represent foundation and the potential for our greatest growth as [...]
This story – call it a journey if you will; and, certainly an adventure, begins at the Atlanta Soccer Academy (“ASA”). In the Fall season of 2008 two dynamic groups of young female soccer players were preparing to cross paths and converge. Haley Anne Cork, Hannah Erger and Christy Tovar were Captains of the ASA [...]
