When this opportunity presented itself, there was no hesitation. I knew this was what I wanted to do. I had a great job where I was, but it was time for a new challenge. It was easy to leave. I jumped at the chance.
I'm a coach, and I wanted to coach at the professional level.
The fifth goal was a killer. We had to battle back real hard to tie it and then to turn around and give it back to them was fatal.
