This will be my 10th year coaching at the High School and my 14th year of involvement at the club level. Having grown up watching and playing the game myself, my love and enthusiasm for the game has never dwindled. This next season (2005) will be my third season as head coach and so far are on schedule with my goal to making Springville High School soccer one of the best run soccer programs in the state of Utah. Of course there is a lot of hard work in front of me and that is why the help and support of you parents is so important. This next season is for sure going to be tough coming off the back of our incredible 2004 season but I know with hard work and commitment from the boys, not forgetting the total support of all you parents, I know we can make them feel proud again.

Benjamin (BJ) Weight. Born and raised in Springville Utah, 25 years old. My love of soccer started by attending soccer practices with a friend. Unfortunately I was never able to play on any organized teams as I was growing up. When high school came around, I found another group of friends who loved soccer. I began playing soccer with them, and was quickly addicted to the game. That summer I played soccer as long as I could every day, 6 days a week (no exageration). In high school I played for Coaches; Don Liddiard, Kelly Cook, and Chris Wright. After high school, I began helping in the training of both the boys and girls high school teams, Goal Keepers. I also helped in Coaching my little sisters city league team. I found it very rewarding to see things I had helped to teach, help the players succeed. After a short 2 year break from soccer, I returned home and began playing on various teams with friends. In 2003 I again was able to help with the training of the Goal Keepers for the high school boys soccer team. That summer I Coached for the boys U18 Hobble Creek Storm B team. And last season I was the assistant boys Soccer Coach for the 2nd in State Springville Red Devils, that was awesome. I have seen huge progress in the soccer programs since I started as a kid, and hope to continue that progression here in Springville. I love being on the soccer field; it is such a great teaching and also learning experience. I know there is more to all of this than just a game, and I hope I can be a good influence on the guys as they are to me. I'm going to be tough with them, but that is because I want to bring out the great potential I see in them. NOW, LETS PLAY SOME SOCCER!
