During offseason, Coach Aaron Hoxie of the men’s Soccer
team at Central Christian College did a lot of work to prepare for this
upcoming year. His team did fairly well last season ending in a post season against
Tabor College. The players and coaches are excited to be back and shake off
last season. Coach Hoxie said “I’m excited to bring back all of my starters
from last season and w
Hoxie’s preparations for this year include “a lot of hard
work,” recruiting, figuring out which
players were staying and leaving, which students were prepared for the year,
and who he thought had most improved over the summer break. He also did a lot
of scouting of other teams; including going to the schools or watching film. He
also spent a lot of time figuring out game plans, substitutions, and who were
the best players on the team.
When asked
“what has Coach Hoxie done differently this year compared to last year?” Oscar
Gudino, one of his senior players said, “He’s more of a player coach, has
higher expectations and he cares more about his players on and off the field.”
Hoxie
thinks that his players are more prepared after the recent preseason games;
which exposed some flaws, and believes that the team will be better than last
year. Hoxie ended with, “The team is headed in the right direction and this
will be an exciting year.”
