Ferdie,

Cool beans! The site looks great! Awesome graphics! I just wanted to thank you for the love in soccer. I had forgotten all about that until this weekend. After your camp all I could think about was soccer. Thanks to you I've got the heart I need to go back to playing the way I did when I first started; hard, with heart, and for the love of the game. You're the best! Tell Brent I say hey!

Love ya,
Lindsey Quinn

Hey Ferdie,

It's been a long time since we talked. I'm sure Kamryn told you how we did in the State tournament. Well, I was worried about getting to be a starter. However, I started in every game and only sat out for about 10 minutes total. Overall, I thought I and the team did very well. I used a move called the scissors. It's one Kelly taught us. I also did a YO-YO! I was so happy! Well, we just had try-outs a few weeks ago and we find out if we made it on June 28th. However, I'll be on vacation that week so I'll have to wait 'til I get back to see if I made it. I'm nervous. They had a lot of good players out there. I hope I'm just getting worried for nothing. I've been playing a few little games of pick-up with Rachael in P.E. and we have both been using moves you taught us. Thanks so much for putting the passion back in the game for me. I can never repay you for the things you've taught me Ferdie. Thanks again!

Love,
Lindsey Quinn

P.S. next time you come we'll take you to the new amusement park in New Orleans called Jazzland. It has about 6 different roller-coasters!

Hello Ferdie!

This is Ashley Culpepper from Lafayette, Louisiana, and I just wanted to thank you so very much for coming down to help the Rage team! I think I can speak for the team when I say it meant a lot to us. We are attending a tournament this weekend in Houston. I will keep you updated. Please write back soon so I know you got this letter. Thanks again. Bye!

Hey - Hey

Hope you made it back safe and sound. Kamryn wanted to call, but I asked her to wait until yall woke up!!!

She was very sad to see yall go but was consoled with the promise that yall will be back in the fall.

The Rage girls were 100% satisfied. They loved you, Brent and your program. Kelly and Willie were equally impressed. Aren't they great? We are very lucky to have them.

The parents were also impressed because all they heard was what a great time their daughters had!! You are awesome!!

Kamryn and Caroline have both been practicing the 8 skills. I can't wait to have Kamryn demonstrate them for Caroline's teammates.

Caroline can't wait to smoke that big defender on the "Tournadoes" team.

I cannot begin to tell you how much fun it was to meet you and to see Brent again.

Kamryn still wants me to send her to Roswell!!

Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

Love, Pennye and Family

Ferdie,

Hot Rice! The message you sent me was very inspiring! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. School's time-consuming. Anyway, State tournament is May 6&7. Kelly is picking the starting line-up these next few weeks at practice. We only have 14 people on the team right now, so I've got a pretty good chance of getting on the starting line-up. But I can never tell with Kelly. I work really hard at all of the practices and I think sometimes it looks like I'm slacking but I'm not. Plus, there are three people that play outside midfield, and there's only two positions for that. I think what you showed us has made us better players and will hopefully help us in state, since we got one of the hardest brackets. I really appreciate what you did for us and I hope to see you next season.

P.S. I like your accent too. ha ha!

Love,
Lindsey Quinn

I told Willie to email you yesterday. He's been real busy. The Fouteens are going to Dallas for Easter, so he's been training them.Some of the girls said they have been emailing you. That's wonderful! It's better you than me (haha)!

Yesterday we worked on juggling. It's amazing that the girls thought they couldn't juggle. Kamryn had 41 and a couple more were in the 20's. That's pretty good considering they couldn't get 2 in the beginning. You know me, I had to top Kamryn. It's fun challenging my girls, but it's also a challenge on me because I'm not going top let a twelve year old beat me.

Well, I won't take up too much of your time. I know you probably have about a thousand emails to check. Hope to hear from you soon!!!

Kelly

Oh, the girls TOLD me I have to break the record!!!! (HAHA!)

I just wanted to let you know what an impact you made on the girls, myself and Willie. We talked about you today. It was wonderful sitting back and watching somebody else coach the girls. I learned a lot!!

Thanks again! I hope to hear from you soon.

Your pal from Louisiana,
Kelly

I would like to thank you for coming to Lafayette and sharing your knowledge and love of the game with me and my team. Your efforts were really appreciated and your wisdom respected. I hope you enjoyed being here as much as we enjoyed having you. You are truly an inspirational man. ***Thank you Ferdie*** (i will write you again when I get a college scholarship:) )

Love Always,
Maggie Placer
