Dr. Dan Freigang-Sports Psychologist for US Soccer, Bayern Munich & TCU Soccer

We had an easy day yesterday, with just individual meetings and then a great team dinner at famed Fort Worth restaurant, Joe T. Garcia's -- it was great and a nice way to finish up pre-season.

It was also great to have Dr. Dan Freigang come join us. This is the second year that Dr. Dan has been a part of our soccer staff as our team sports psychologist and it's been awesome to watch the impact he's made on our group in just a year. He's been integral in helping us build the foundation and expectations our players have for themselves and the program. It's fun to watch him interact with the returners like Lizzy Karoly and Michelle Nguyen, in helping them elevate the level of their game -- if you watch either of those two players from last fall to this year, they have taken things to a whole different level.

Dr. Dan has also been an important part of our team in our leadership development class. We have a group of our players that we meet with once a week and have different tasks they are responsible for. They get the opportunity to lead, delegate, and evaluate within their peer group. Has been a lot of fun and again the results have been huge and very apparent.

Dano, as the team affectionately calls him, has become a great member of our family and last year his son, Will, even gave a Taekwondo lesson to the girls before a big match! So we're happy to have Dr. Dan as a part of our staff and count ourselves among the soccer powerhouses he works with -- Bayern Munich, US Soccer and TCU Soccer!
