I recently had a phone call with a good friend of mine, who is also a local high school soccer coach.
His program is one of the strongest and most consistent there is in the state of Massachusetts. As a coach, he is one of the most accomplished there is in our local game, from both a results standpoint, but also from a certification and expertise viewpoint.
Our call centered around our collective preparation for the fall 2023 high school season, as we both look to retool and rebuild our teams for what should be another exciting soccer season.
