This is another grail I'm purchased for a good price.  This found its way on eBay costing as much as $500 CAD.  But the price dropped to $150 CAD so I snatched it up.  The d-pad feels really good.  I haven't tried it out yet but I'm in no rush.  My affection for SMS has fizzled.  The games are just too hard to enjoy.  It's a great system and there's tons of accessories to collect.  The Korean SMS console this belongs to last time I saw (on eBay) was listed for $2k.  But when I saw the controller I said to myself that is the perfect SMS controller.  So I have it.  

Long story short, the organizer desperately needed a parent to volunteer to coach my son's soccer team.  I relunctantly raised my hand knowing I was probably the most qualified.  I immediately started to plan my strategy to make sure my team has fun by improving their skill.  I'm going to give this to the parents to set the tone moving forward.  

It's indoor soccer so there's an echo.  Right away I knew shouting was out of the question.  So I'm just going to focus on cycling in everyone.  But I'll drill basics before every game.  Mainly passing.  I'm going to encourage the team to memorize everyone's names so they can move the ball around the clumps of opposition dive bombing the ball.

I hope I do a good job.
