Q&A with Coach Nathan Krueger

By Erik Buchinger


Number of years as head coach: Third season.

Returning varsity athletes: Brent Peterson (12), Travis Kuhnke (12), Adam Armour (11), Logan Heimbruch (11), Mason Kloehn (10), Gavin Hutchison (10), Damian Polanco (10).

Team goals/expectations: Our team goals this year are to win the Bay Conference and regionals. My expectations are for all my student-athletes to push themselves past where they are comfortable and realize they can accomplish more than they think is possible.

Team’s strengths: We have a group of kids that are willing to work and continue to push each other to get better. We have a very strong middle of our lineup.

Team’s weaknesses: We have a great group of kids on this team. We will have to learn to overcome the holes in the back end of our lineup and find ways to make up the points.

Biggest events on the schedule: All our events are important. We go into each event with a goal. We then reassess and look at where we can improve going forward. Our first conference competition is Dec. 6 against Green Bay United.

What would make for a successful season: I want all the athletes on the team to come out of this year with a realization that they can accomplish any goal they put their mind to if they are willing to focus and put the work in to go get it. If by the end of the year, they have developed that belief in themselves, we will have had a successful season.

Why fans should be excited for this year’s team: This group has been working and pushing themselves to get better since last year ended. They have big team and individual goals, and it’s going to be exciting watching it all play out.
