#proudbeyondmeasure

To the 2021 NMHS Varsity Soccer Men, While I may not be your official coach, I do have a lifetime of experience. In my eight plus years with New Milford High School soccer alone, I have worked with two athletic directors, four head coaches, eight assistant coaches, more than three dozen teams, and hundreds of players. And you are the only team that can claim this incredible feat. When it got hard, you chose to set aside your egos, dig deep, and battle to make something of your season. What you did was even more incredible. You made something of yourselves. In a few short weeks, I witnessed you grow from boys to men. Even though there are no titles, trophies, or banners recognizing you for this accomplishment, you are Real Champions. When photographing you battle through a season of incredible adversity, I was close and I saw your heart and soul in your effort. In my eyes, you are all heroes. I am proud beyond measure of you and what you accomplished. Cheers to each of you! 

I look forward to seeing you do great things. Your greatest fan and photographer

Success comes from playing, at all times, with Limitless Enthusiasm – this is indisputably Christian. 

It’s no secret that I really, and I mean REALLY, love Christian’s expression when he’s about to get the ball. I describe him — even to him—as a boy about to get an Easter egg. His expression is of sheer delight. 

Be careful though, this enthusiasm gives Christian remarkable drive and laser focus on one thing, “That ball is MINE.” Then he goes about getting it. And once he has it, there is no stopping him from doing what he wants with it.
