Join Pipeline

Period: to
Pipeline Under Joe
I first started at Pipeline with a coach named Joe he was the best coach I've ever had and really pushed me to become a better player -
Period: to
Under Joe
We never won anything under Joe but yet I still rank him as my best coach. I feel he gave me my flame and let me find what type of player I was -
Period: to
Pipeline Under Phil
This is the point where my cousin nicks mom started to date Joe which made it so that he couldn't be my coach and Phil started. This was the start of all the bad stuff. -
Period: to
Under Phil
We won more under Phil than I can even remember we were Number 6 in all of America at the time but yet I still hated it. We had been winning with the team that it felt like Joe and I created and my captainship was taking away from me under Phil so I felt disrespected. -
Left Pipeline

Re attempt at soccer
This was my last chance to try and keep playing but I just couldn't do it at the time. -
Period: to
The most depressed Ive been
I was going from 8th then 9th and 10th not playing the sport I loved increasing in size and really hating myself. All I wanted to do was play the sport I loved -
God Send
I was asked to play soccer again not for anything serious but an old coach that used to be at Pipeline asked me to play again and increase my walk with God as he called it I didn't know at the time how much I needed him. So I played for the fellowship of christian athletes now being extremely overweight and having years of built up rust. -
Period: to
FCA
Since I joined the team I reimagined myself losing all of the weight and returning my body back to a better physical standard but I also reinstated the flame that was inside of me for the love of the sport. Dan miller the coach is a man I now give my full respect and he became like another father figure at a time when I needed it most I may have walked the wrong path without him who knows where I would be.
