St. Olaf College Women's Soccer - Recruit Center

OLE SOCCER PHILOSOPHY

To understand our philosophy, it is important to be clear on the overall purpose of the program and the type of person it takes to be a member of the Ole Soccer family. 

Our purpose is to create an environment where players can learn and develop the skills and abilities necessary to be successful. This applies not only to the sport of soccer but the game of life. 

Ole Soccer players are people that understand the value of opportunity and the demands of hard work, two essential ingredients of success. They appreciate the creativity of an individual and what each person can contribute towards the success of the team. They are people who possess an unparalleled attitude of excellence and want to be a part of something special. 

THE PROGRAM 

In training, players will be challenged technically, tactically, physically and psychologically. 
The environment created and maintained by the coaching staff fosters the growth and development of each individual while at the same time stressing the needs of the team as a whole.  Both elements are important to success. 

The most challenging game schedule is created in which the players utilize their skills and abilities in a truly competitive and exhilarating atmosphere.  To compliment a rigorous conference schedule, the Oles will play demanding yet exciting matches against opponents that are ranked amongst the best in Division III regional and national polls.
