Bettering YOUR Game!
Rossco’s Tip of the Week
Soccer is a game of expression, free flowing and artistic. At practice, don’t
hide, have no fear, get the ball at your feet and make something happen!
“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new” - Albert
Einstein
And just prove that mistakes happen, here is one of the best footballers in the
world getting it all wrong!
Welcome!
"Here you will find lots of cool stuff to keep you entertained
and informed about what is going on at JUSC. This page will be updated
every week- so come back and visit soon."
"You hear me?!" - Ross Moffat

So what’s Rossco ranting about this week?
;
MISTAKES HAPPEN - STOP WORRYING! Too often with our teams I see a
player make a mistake and then beat themselves up about it for the next
ten minutes, or even for the rest of the game. Mistakes happen in
soccer, it is part of the beautiful game, and the JUSC coaches
understand that. At times, you players are your own worst enemies, it’s
great that you have set such high standards for yourselves, but you
can’t let one or two little mistakes spoil your whole performance! Even
great players make mistakes, truly great players are the ones who put it
behind them and want the ball at their feet again right away. It’s more
impressive to see a player who wants the ball and is willing to risk
making a mistake, than a player who disappears for the rest of the game.
Here is this week’s TV schedule, Aston Villa against Chelsea on ESPN 2!

What’s happening at JUSC?
Congratulations to all the teams
involved in the Soccerfest this weekend! A lot of great soccer was played in
adverse conditions (freezing!), and our teams did themselves proud. I’m
disappointed that my trend setting soccer socks over my pants didn’t seem to
catch on but I’ll keep trying! Maybe next year. However, I’m very pleased that
“Rossco’s Rants” is catching on! Keep spreading the word, and remember, if you
miss a rant you can always go back and check it out in the archive section.
Thanks to everyone who voted for Matty to get his eyebrows trimmed, his wife
will be very pleased!
It’s also time for another look-alike, here is our Matt
Sahag looking an awful lot like Everton and Belgium star Marounne Fellaini!
MUST- SEE VIDEO
Every week I will provide you with some footage of awesome players and fantastic
goals and soccer skills! Or, like this week, something a little bit different…
Talk about mistakes? See, even the very best get it wrong sometimes! It’s just a
game, always look on the bright side!
How about this one? Sometimes you just have to laugh and get on with it! The
solo goal starting at 2 minutes 15 seconds, yes, that’s the goalie!
