@takeitallin – I guess he’s redshirted, but they never called it that so I don’t know for sure. He is not overly in love with the school in general but he likes the rigorous academics. There’s not much to do, but then again, it’s a small college town. He made friends with some other freshmen from the team and they hang out together a lot. I keep telling him to keep a positive attitude and try to tough it out. He talks to the head coach more than to the assistant coach, who is new. He also had a rapport with the previous assistant coach who left to take a HC job in another state. So, I know that was an adjustment of sorts for him.

Thanks for the insight about your son’s experience at the D2 level. I agree about not all coaches being as nice. I have talked to the parents of some of his club soccer buddies who are now playing college soccer as well. The coaches’ interactions are much more personal and there seems to be a lot more emphasis on team-building. But I guess every coach has his own style.
