We Take Commitments Here Not Applications

[RockyMTblue2]

Geno show tonight. He was talking about how the history of the program, the players who have graduated and still bleed blue, mean people arrive preconditioned to what lies ahead. Then he said: It's like the Marines. We take commitments here, not applications. I love it! Earlier he was taking a little tour through the "museum" and he was chatting in a disarming way - you could sense how much all of it and all of them mean to him. He is probably very powerful in those living room couch get togethers with recruits and family. Good stuff.

At one point he pointed at what appeared to be an old team photo, and commented that "There are five Olympians in that picture!"

How many coaches could say that?

Or would.

I really, really love this SNY programming! Another great Geno show - I think they have upped their game from last year significantly and last year wasn't bad!

Yeah I love watching SNY and the Geno show.I just get goose bumps when I hear coach talking about the early days of the program and watching the program grow, awesome.

Seven have played on a USA age specific team and won gold (Stokes was the one I wasn't sure about but she was on the 2009 U16)
