Welcome back to the mailbag, where we answer questions from you, the fans! If you want to submit a question to future mailbags, click here. Let's jump right in:
@kjwcpm asks, "What work is done off the pitch to try to build things up so we can [get] a full strong 90 minute performance?"
Your boys in green do a lot of work on and off the pitch to ensure they are in the best physical and mental shape for each match. During the week, Coach Nielsen and the staff often lead film sessions after training, featuring footage of our upcoming opponent and our previous match. Players also go to Caveman Cryotherapy regularly to recover after a busy week of soccer.
@DamonTweet asks, "What were Coach Nielsen's, Mads', and Ryan Williams' favorite teams growing up?"
Coach Nielsen: Barcelona was my favorite club as a kid.
Mads Jorgensen: Chelsea FC! My favorite player was Michael Essien and Juninho from Lyon because his free kicks were insane!
Ryan Williams: I'm from Liverpool and I wouldn't support any other club but Liverpool Football Club. #YNWA
Joe K. asks, "How hard is it to plan the travel arrangements?"
We're gonna kick this one out to our team administrator who is fondly known as "Mijo":
70% of the time, it's smooth sailing (Really I guess it's smooth flying, we do not travel by boat). 30% of the time, unexpected problems arise and it can be quite hectic. Earlier this year we were in the airport when our flight got canceled and there were no flights out until the next day. As the team administrator I have to reschedule everyone's flights, book a hotel, figure out transportation back to the hotel and then back to the airport again. It's times like these when travel agents become your best friends.
Roman R. asks, "Earlier this week you guys posted a poll asking if eyebrows were facial hair. What idiot in your office thinks eyebrows are facial hair?"
We don't want to call anyone out by name so all we'll tell you is that his name starts with J and rhymes with "show". He would also want us to tell you that eyebrows are hair that is on your face, the literal definition of facial hair.
NEXT HOME MATCH:
On Saturday, you can catch Hartford Athletic at home for the last time until August 10th. Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC comes to town for a 5 PM start at Dillon Stadium. Click here to get your tickets!
