As the new year rolls in, sports teams all over the world are gearing up for another exciting season. This is especially true for the team under the guidance of Coach John Blade. With the first game of the season less than a month away, we had the opportunity to sit down with Coach Blade and get his insight on the team's goals, players to watch out for, and the key to their success.
