Well, I'm glad my mouse took me here to see our amazing World Cup Team before they head off to OZ. I live in Austin and have been fortunate enough to coach Tad these past two Thursdays and will continue to do so until he's off for the big event. Tad's a great man and it's been a real pleasure to meet him. He's going to do his country and his teammates proud down under.
I want to thank Kay Rawlins and Ron Dennie at the Austin Aztex for putting me in touch with Sabelyn Pussman, the head honcho of Street Soccer in Austin and the Austin Endeavor. I hope to be with this group for a long, long time.
Back to the boys---I wish I could stretch out across the country and train you all before you leave on what I know will be a truly life-changing event for you all. You're in the middle of an amazing transformation and I know you feel it in your bones---in your souls.
God bless you, brothers, in all you do.
Carry peace in your hearts and a ball at your feet,
Coach Craig
