Ontario Women's Soccer League (Indoor) - 2010-11
 |
|
The Cougars played in the quarterfinals of the OWSL (Indoor) Competitive Season on Sunday, April 10, 2011, against Toronto Rangers.
The exciting back-and-forth contest between two evenly matched teams could not be settled in regulation, being tied 2-2, so the outcome was resolved by way of shoot-out. The Rangers advanced 3-2, and will play League Champion Windsor in the semis.
Congratulations to the team for an excellent indoor season !

Motivation by Soccer Mastermind.com
Every now and then I search the libraries and the net for that elusive answer to, what makes a great soccer player and how do i become one? Many claim to know the answer and some even try to sell you their idea. From my own experiences and that of others, a great player or a superstar is the product of a number of things. To claim there is one answer or one training method would just magnify the level of ignorance you have for the simple game that is made complex from all the myths and lies surrounding it.
Motivation is only present when there is a clear vision, a goal. Have you established your goals yet? Think about it, motivation is one of the most important keys to success. Compare a player who lacks motivation and who hardly trains, to a player who is highly motivated and who devotes many hours to training. Without a shadow of a doubt these 2 players will get different results.
The rest of this post will be dedicated to the methods and techniques used to gain motivation. Before I start, these are only suggestions, what might work for me might not work for you. But the concepts and principles are the same for all of us. Lets start
.
Lets begin with the most important, SET A GOAL! It doesnt have to be one goal it could be many, but set goals. Set yourself a target and strive for it. Pull up your sleeves and get the elbow grease out and dont stop.
Once you set goals, make sure you finish your goals. You must come to grips that finishing what you started is very important. You must develop a drive, a hunger that will allow you to reach the finish line. Make a commitment to yourself that once you begin, you have to finish full stop, no excuses.
Motivation and positive attitudes are contagious. Associate with motivated players that share your dream and passion.
Read and study the game. This will keep your enthusiasm and ambition alive.
Look at photos from the newspapers and magazines and imagine the articles are about you.
Constantly tell yourself through positive affirmations that you will succeed and reach your full potential as a player or coach.
Never procrastinate. Procrastination leads to laziness which then leads to a lack of motivation. Grit your teeth and get on with it.
Persistence, patience and a no-surrender attitude will only strengthen your motivation. Dont give up, throw some more fuel into the fire.
When pursuing your goals and dreams, remember to do it with happiness and joy.
After all the journey of life doesnt stop because of your goals, enjoy it.

Words of Wisdom From Soccer Gurus
Negative and Positive Space
Between the ball-handler and the goal behind him lies an area that is usually less well-defended than the area under direct attack.
This "negative space" is useful in maintaining possession, relieving pressure, switching the point of attack, and creating shots. The reason is simple. As the ball is played forward, the opposing defenders tend to focus more on the ball than on the negative spaces on the field.
Bob Gansler, a former national coach, once had his team intentionally play a ball forward into a crowded area, to draw the opposing defenders to the ball and thus open space and reduce the pressure in other areas. The passer, instead of following his pass, stepped away from the "target" receiver who, after drawing the pressure, returned the ball negatively (backward) to the original passer. Since the latter now had a less obstructed view of the spaces under attack, he could change the point of attack to a more weakly defended area. The Dutch call the receiver of a back pass the "window" player. The idea is simple: Play the ball back before playing it forward.
Good teams use negative space with purpose. A window player receiving a pass back at the top of the penalty box will drive the ball at goal with a first touch shot or use the space created around the ball (really the extra time) to produce the killer through ball.
In the attacking or high middle third of the field, the target receiver, usually a striker, will be closely followed by a marking defender. The target receiver will often be able to draw the sweeper out of position and flatten the back of the defense, creating opportunities for the dangerous through ball.
Good teams intentionally use negative space to their advantage: watch Brazil or Ajax.

Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live. Chamfort
