Mike Aronson Quotations

He's a very technical player and is not afraid to take on other players. It was just a mental thing. He used to dominate players his own age, and now that he has made the adjustments he's able to play against others his own age.

He was phenomenal all night for us. That's why he's an All-State goalkeeper and an All-American.

He was able to make what used to be his weaknesses into his strengths.

We missed out on our opportunities in the first half. Fortunately, so did they. And then we were able to get going.

The second goal was a big one. That enabled us to play with a little more freedom. And the third goal, with the penalty kick and them losing (Gordon), that was a huge turning point.

They played their hearts out tonight. If they didn't leave everything out there tonight, then you have something to be sorry about. If you left it on the field tonight, you have nothing to be sorry about.

It's a lot different than a couple of years ago when we were the underdog. It was a lot easier to be the team that's not supposed to be here.

That just speaks tremendously of the soccer in this area.

I haven't seen them. But I know they're going to give us everything we can handle. We're going to have to be ready.

I came into this program and told them I'd give them four years, and we're all walking away with the one goal we thought we could get (being) unattained.

He always had the ability. He had some trouble adjusting to the high school level and playing against kids that were older than him.
