It’s that time of year again where high school football is in full swing and teams are gearing up for another exciting season. One team in particular, the Torrey Pines High School Falcons, has caught our attention with their young and talented roster. To get a better look at what this team has in store for us this season, we sat down with Coach Ryland Wickman for a preview of what’s to come at Torrey Pines High School.
When looking at the top returning players from last season, Coach Wickman points out the team’s overall goals for this upcoming season: to get better each week, win the League title, and get into the playoffs. With these goals in mind, it’s no surprise that the top returning players are those who have proven their talent and leadership capabilities.
One player in particular, the team’s quarterback, continues to improve each week and is surrounded by a strong group of athletes. Coach Wickman believes that these returning players will play a crucial role in the team’s success this season. However, with only three girls who played on varsity last year, the Falcons are definitely considered a young team this year.
Coach Wickman acknowledges that this presents a new challenge for the team, as they have no returning starters. He believes that it will be a learning experience for the younger players, who will have to adjust to the faster pace and higher level of competition. But with their talent and determination, Coach Wickman is confident that the new players will make an immediate impact on the team.
When it comes to choosing team captains, Coach Wickman looks for players who lead by example and are trusted by all their teammates. While the team is still in the process of determining captains, Coach Wickman believes that the quarterback and other talented players will be strong contenders for the role.
He emphasizes the importance of having strong leaders on the team, as they can help create a positive team dynamic and inspire their teammates to push themselves to their full potential. In order to foster team chemistry and camaraderie, Coach Wickman believes in letting the players have fun first.
He stresses the importance of team bonding, whether it be through dinners, fundraisers, or other activities. By creating a fun and positive environment, the team can build strong bonds and work together towards their common goals. And with a young team, this cohesiveness will be crucial for their success on the field.
