Hello Erskine Men’s Soccer Alumni, and supporters!
Every interaction is an audition for trust.
That’s the statement that informs the thoughts, words, and actions of our program.
As the Head Coach, I’ve told our guys that my role is to steward the opportunity given to me to love, lead, and serve each of them to the best of my ability. In order to do that, the first ask I’d make from all of you is your prayers.
Yes, we need your financial support. However, if I race ahead of the single most important need we’ll have missed the point entirely. It starts with WHO we are and HOW we live. As the Head Coach I am also a husband, father, and friend. I would covet your prayers for myself and our guys for discernment, encouragement, and physical strength.
I am one of the most competitive people you may ever meet. I’ve won a lot as a coach over the years. But/And…as I’ve gotten older, and my wife and I have raised our own children (24, 20, and 16), there is an even larger win that I’m after as a leader.
I want to make sure I do my very best to help the young people I lead win their marriages, relationships with their children one day, and the communities they live, work, and serve in.
Wins and losses on a scoreboard are fun to celebrate in the moment.
Wins at home and the world around us can be celebrated for eternity.
If you’d like to learn more about the specific ways you can financially partner with our program, please reach out. I will make time for any of you who’d like to hear a few stories of the impact the program has made in the past couple of years, and I’d love to hear yours about your time as a Men’s Soccer Alum.
It would be an honor to speak with you.
Until then…
-Coach Gould
