2013 Soccer Banquet

Monday night we concluded the 2013 Varsity soccer season by reflecting and celebrating.  The night included: great food, fellowship, a slide show (thanks Dr. Hoekstra!), individual awards, recognition of every player and reflections of the season.
As I reflected on the season it brought me to the question that I am often asked at the end of every season--"was it a successful season?"  This is a question that has many layers considering that everyone has their own thoughts and philosophy behind what "success" is.   Coaches, players, parents all have expectations for what success is for each player as well as us as a team.  Ending the season with a 11-6-4 record, having 12 shut outs, scoring 50 goals and only have 17 scored against were all byproducts of quality individual efforts and team efforts.  There were some disappointments along the way and also some great joys, however, all-in-all most would consider it a "successful" season.  One of the absolutes for Holland Christian soccer will be to always strive for excellence on the field! (Some day soon I expect to post a picture of us with the state championship trophy.)
Then I take a few steps back and look at the bigger picture--were kids given the opportunity to grow as young men and learn life lessons and what it means to be a person of integrity?  Were they challenged to be the ultimate teammate?  Were they able to use the game of soccer to show others God's love?  Were they personally challenged in their own walk of faith?  Questions like these are challenging but have priceless/eternal value.  Opportunities for growth in these areas are the ultimate absolutes for the HC soccer program.
It was a good season where we were all challenged at some level...it was a "successful" season.  I am thankful for the opportunity to have a small part in each varsity soccer players' journey as young men who are followers of Christ. 
Parents, thank you once again for your commitment to your son and your support to the HC soccer program.
Players, thank you once again for your willingness to learn, work hard, and grow.

I look forward to continuing to lead the HC soccer program!
