 Welcome back to the Graham Miller show. I'm Sam Murray joined with Stevenson men's soccer head coach Graham Miller and coach Just reached the halfway point of your season. Maybe not the results you want it But what have you learned from your team so far? Yeah, I think you know, there's a lot of positives We can take out the non-conference schedule, you know, yes, you know We know our records one five and two, but um, you know a couple of good results against York and Catholic You know on the road a couple of good ties against two very good teams You know a good win to open up the season against Washington College and then you know some tough overtime losses and you know I think Saturday, you know the Wilkes game that we just lost was a kind of combination of everything that we've been through You know a lot of overtime's a lot of close games I think we just finally kind of broke down and it's okay to have days like that I think it was hot and I think we were just physically and mentally Done and and that's okay. It's gonna be how these guys respond and I think the good thing is for us It's a new year Because now we're into conference play so yeah that first half of the season is done And you know, we were done with the non-conference play and we do have one more game of Hopkins But we don't need to talk about that until next week But you know the big thing for us is now we're you know Oh, no in the conference and you know We got chance to restart against Albright on Friday You talked about the the kind of grueling schedule a lot of overtime's a lot of soccer this week You kind of have almost a full week to rest and then prepare What is the point of emphasis been this week in practice so far? Yeah, well, it's just that you know, we're treating it as if the you know the start of the season again You know, we can you know, we can't be negative. We can you know, be devised divisive I guess maybe mess that up there a little bit but we can you know we've had a lot of negativity with a lot of frustration because of these close games and You know, we can't you know, we can't let you know these these tough results effect is going into conference play So the aim of the aim of the you know week is just to you know, be positive be competitive You know give instructions to each other and You know fight for that place on Friday, you know, everybody's had a chance to play and now it's whether it's in practice or games Now it's up to them this week to show me who the best team is going to be for Friday So you're home on Friday against Albright Don't have the bus legs been on the road a bit. Talk about that matchup. Yeah, Albright You know, they've had a tough start to the year as well. You know, I think You know, both of us probably I think we're both picked to be down the bottom along with along with whitener So, you know, it's a chance for one of us to get off the mark and go want to know in the conference in the first weekend So obviously Albright is going to be you know, coming off the bus ready to go They know is that you know a new start to the season as well And we just got we got to play better at home We got to start quicker at home and we haven't done that so far this year So hopefully the guys understand that you know, this is it knows conference play You got to win everyone if you want to make the playoffs and the guys are going to be ready for that One Friday.
