Happy Friday to All,

The weather has finally cooled off a bit and there is a bit of Fall in the air. Remember cooler weather

doesn’t mean your child doesn’t need water at training. Remember that all players should hydrate

properly for all games and training sessions.

Spirit wear orders are due on Monday. Please turn into your team manager or the office.

We are winding down the Fall League season, some of our teams have had great fall seasons and

some have struggled, remember your child isn’t judged on wins and losses. We learn from every

training session and every game we play. I shared a link on facebook that talked about what we can

learn from losing.

Here is the link, check it out http://changingthegameproject.com/3-questions-that-turn-losing-into-

learning/

I thought it was very well written and everyone should take a look at it. For the teams playing in the

spring we will evaluate the leagues that you are playing in and make sure that we have you placed in

the most competitive division in the state league. For many of you you will be trying out for your

Middle School and High School Teams, it is our goal and objective to have you the best prepared we

can for those tryouts. You are all special players and we want to see all of you making and

contributing to your school teams. Keep up the hard work in games and training. Keep developing

and growing, and keep loving the game win or lose.

The Bulls School of Excellence and Middle School Training

Program begins on Monday November 1st This is a program

for 4-14 Year Olds, Register at www.ga-scbulls.com

BULLS SOCCER CLUB 3

Personality of the Week Kelley Maureen O'Hara

Kelley Maureen O'Hara: (born August 4, 1988) is a FIFA Women's World Cup champion and Olympic soccer gold medalist who plays as a wingback and midfielder for the United States Women's National Soccer Team, and a forward and right

defender for the National Women's Soccer League club Sky Blue FC. As a forward for the Stanford women's soccer team,

she was the recipient of the 2009 Hermann Trophy. She majored in science, technology and society with a focus in environmental engineering. In the history of the United States under-20 team, she is tied as the all-time third leading scorer

and is sixth in number of caps played. At the senior level, she competed in the 2011 and 2015 FIFA Women's World Cups, and was one of three players for the U.S. that played every minute in the 2012 Olympics women's football tournament.

High School: O'Hara grew up in Peachtree City, Georgia and graduated from Starr's Mill High School in Fayette County where she played four years on the varsity soccer team and captained the team during her junior and senior years. O'Hara

helped lead the Panthers to the 5A state title in 2006 with 20 goals and 16 assists. The team finished second in the state championships during her sophomore year. O'Hara was named Parade All-American as a junior and a senior and All-League,

All-County and All-State all four years. In 2006, she was named the 2006 Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC) Player of the

Year and Gatorade Georgia State Player of the Year. She was also named NSCAA All-American. O'Hara played for club teams, the Peachtree City Lazers and AFC Lightning before playing for the U.S. U-16s in 2004 and then joining the U-17 youth women's national team of that same year.

College: A two-time Parade All-American coming into her freshman year at Stanford University, O'Hara led the Cardinal in

scoring in 2006 with nine goals. She repeated that feat during her sophomore year, helping the Cardinal to the third round of the NCAA Tournament. During O'Hara's junior year, Stanford advanced to the College Cup for the first time since 1993,

defeating 2005 national champion Portland, 1–0.[8] The Cardinal would fall in the semifinal, 0–1, to Notre Dame. As a senior, she had one of the best seasons in Division I history, scoring 26 goals with 13 assists. O'Hara's senior year ended in the

2009 College Cup, where the Cardinal lost to North Carolina. She finished her stellar college career at Stanford with 57 goals

and 32 assists, both school records at the time. O'Hara was awarded the 2009 Hermann Trophy as collegiate soccer’s top player. She had been on the MAC Hermann Trophy watch list for three consecutive seasons.

Professional: O'Hara was drafted third overall by FC Gold Pride at the 2010 WPS Draft. In addition to the close proximity

of home stadium Pioneer Stadium to O'Hara's alma mater Stanford University, O'Hara had previously worked with FC Gold

Pride head coach Albertin Montoya when he served as an assistant coach at Stanford University in 2008. After FC Gold Pride folded in November 2010, O'Hara was signed by the Boston Breakers. She scored 10 goals during her two seasons in the

WPS playing primarily as an outside midfielder. On January 5, 2012, it was announced O'Hara would be going back to her hometown because she had signed with the Atlanta Beat. On January 11, 2013, O'Hara joined Sky Blue FC in the new

National Women's Soccer League. Because the club’s head coach, Jim Gabarra, intends to play O'Hara as a forward, the converted U.S. WNT outside back reverts to a role she filled with success in college (26 goals and 65 points in her senior season at Stanford, earning her the MAC Hermann Trophy).

2011 FIFA Women's World Cup: After falling short of making the 21 player World Cup roster, O'Hara was called up to replace Lindsay Tarpley who tore her ACL in a send-off match against Japan on May 14, 2011.

2012 Olympics: Throughout her national U-20s, collegiate, and club career, O’Hara has been one of the top young

offensive players in the United States, but under head coach Pia Sundhage, O'Hara was converted to play outside back in 2012 after teammate Ali Krieger went down with an ACL injury in the 2012 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying

Tournament. Against Guatemala on January 22, 2012, in the Olympic Qualifiers, she made her first start at left back and registered three assists. O'Hara made her first start at right back against Costa Rica in the match that qualified the United

States for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. She is one of three players on the national team that played every minute for the United States in the Olympic Games.

2015 FIFA Women's World Cup: In the United States' first four games of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, O'Hara

did not see any playing time. O'Hara made her first start of the tournament in the quarter-final game against China PR. She was replaced by Christen Press in the 61st minute.[28] O'Hara scored her first career international goal in the United States'

2–0 victory over Germany in the semi-final. The United States went on to defeat Japan 5–2, winning the first World Cup title since 1999 and the third overall World Cup title for the United States since the inaugural Women's World Cup in 1991.
