After two successful weekends for the Northwood soccer program, the near future is looking bright. Since day one of preseason, Coach Jon Moodey has seen something different about this group than in past years.
“This team has spent more time considering the concept of what makes a strong team culture and how it can be implemented and sustained,” Moodey said. “In addition, we have spent more time considering the notion of leadership and how each player can find meaningful and positive ways to play a leading role in our program.” He added. Most importantly, this group is committed to continually working on positive culture creation and maintenance going forward and working toward ways in which all players understand the ways in which they can lead and play a key role in making this program as strong as possible on and off the field,” Moodey said.
Team bonding is essential for the long-term success of the team this year, and the anticipation has a lot of people excited for what’s to come.
It is also worth noting that before the season even began, three players committed to their respective colleges: Leon Brody ’24 to Middlebury (NCAA Division 3), Sachiel Ming ’24 to Syracuse University (NCAA Division 1), and Mitchell Baker ’25 to Georgetown (NCAA division 1).
