Assistant Coach, Clay Christenson gives his weekly thoughts about the team on the blog known as “From the Box”.

Assistant Coach, Clay Christenson

We had a fantastic game last Wednesday against Mexico’s U-21s and we need to build off that momentum for our home openers this Friday and Saturday night. With two very good teams coming into town (LA Legends, Lancaster Rattlers), we’ll have a great week of practice to help us prepare.

We have a few big advantages over the competition when they come to Provo. First, the elevation change takes a toll on the visitor’s fitness level and teams tend to run out of gas more quickly. Secondly, our field is longer and wider than any of the competition. As a result, we hold the ball very well on our big field which also tires out the competition. Lastly, there’s nothing like playing in front of a home crowd. Playing in front of family and friends provides confidence and energy for our guys.

We need to come away with 6 points and establish ourselves as a division contender.Tweet
