TIME MANAGEMENT

Time Management is something that I strive to perfect, and being a player of the XPRESS is something that as a player you will have to perfect, because when times are issued for the players to be at a certain place at a certain time, you will be responsible to be at that place at that time. EX. on February 21st the season opens up in Arlington, game time should be 7pm and you as a player will be responsible for being at the stadium at 4:30, reason being because we have to give you your uniforms, be taped and whatever else you are going to need to do, we have a certain time you need to be on the field at a certain time along with other things we need to do to get ready for the game. You maybe asking why is all this important? well this is why it is important, we were scheduled to play a pre-season game against the Knights on January 31st but what happen was the Knights told me that we would play at 3pm on the 31st I told their coach to confirm the time and place with me on Monday the 26Th, that coach called me and said we may play at Paul Quinn college he was suppose to confirm the place that night, he did not! During practice for us Wednesday the 28Th I called him again he did not answer so I told the players of the XPRESS we were not playing the game because i will not put a team on the field for a last minute game. Another coach with the Knights called me Thursday evening to confirm the game but wanted to change the time that's when I confirmed to him we were not playing the game at the last minute and I apologized for the inconvenience to him and his team he even asked if I could just get some of our players together to play the game. I have never and will not ever play a game on a last minute notice because it is unprofessional and I will not put my players safety in jeopardy just to play a game to benefit another team. So regardless of what you hear, this is why the XPRESS game against the Knights was cancelled. The NMLF the league we play in is Minor Professional not Semi-Pro and last minute games are the kind of business that semi pro teams conduct. TIME MANAGEMENT.
