Congratulations,

You are receiving this email, because you have been selected to the U11/12 Travel Team of Athletic Club Miami for the 2022/23 season. 

You are selected to the team, because we think you will be a valuable member of our squad not only based on the level of your play, but because of the other, even more important attributes you possess, such as work-ethic; respect to the sport, coaches and teammates; potential to improve technically, mentally and physically.

As you become a more experienced player you will learn that Tryouts are less important, (if it has any importance) than your all-round performance during the season. The best players don’t need to do tryouts, they are well known and wanted by many clubs. If you work hard and prove yourself in the team you will only participate on our Tryouts next May for fun.

"When you're good at something, you'll tell everyone. When you're great at something, they'll tell you." — Walter Payton 

You are just what our special team needs for the next season, and if you are serious about getting great and becoming a winner Athletic Club Miami is just what you need as well. 

“When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success.”— Diego Maradona

This journey will be the most intensive learning experience in your early life, which will provide you all the necessary exercises and opportunities that the professional players got when they were your age. In our team 100% of the players are chosen to become better, therefore all of you are there to push each other to the limits to get as far as possible.

We will work very hard, and every player will compete for the opportunity to play on the games, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have bad days. I am here to make you better and it includes that I am and we are by your side on your worst days as well as your best. If you are part of our family we never let you down.

Players that aren’t true leaders but try to be, always bash other players after a mistake. True leaders on the pitch already assume others will make mistakes. —Johan Cruyff

THE PREPARATION STARTS TODAY

"Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't." – Jerry Rice

I made this decision to select you to our team, because I see the potential you have. I am so confident about you, I dare to promise something to you if you accept my challenge.
What I need from your side is the following: Choose a player from an other club who you competed against before. It needs to be a player who is on your level or better than you; someone you admire, fear or envy a little. Write his name down now and let me know who is it when we start the season! At the end of the season I will make sure you have a chance to face him on the pitch to showcase who you become.

"Success isn't owned, it's leased. And rent is due every day." – J.J. Watt

See you at the AC Miami Soccer Summer Camp where I will need you to show up and set an example with your attitude. I want you there to enjoy the trainings and the games; in addition help and support the newcomers who shall be nervous to perform good enough to one day become your teammate.

“Everything I know about morality and the obligations of men, I owe it to football.” — Albert Camus

Welcome to our team!

Gabor Pasztor
