LJ g soccer: Q&A with Sam Cousino

By Ed Piper

Sam Cousino, a sophomore, is a keeper for the La Jolla High girls soccer team. These comments were made immediately prior to the Vikings' game at Helix Wed., Dec. 13.

Sam,.what is your approach to keeping? What do you think about going into a game?

(As she kicked shots for fellow goalie Heidi Weise to warm up with) I think about stopping as many (shots) as I can; having good communication with my team; just trying to do a good job.

Any special things you want to be aware of today?

Well, we beat Helix last time (Dec. 5), so hopefully we can do it again. It should be a good one. They have home field advantage. They got three keepers. So, I don't know, it should be interesting.

Second half, is there any preparation, different from what you'd do for the first half?

Just like halftime warmup. Other than that, not really. Do the best to lock in, and do the best you can.

Who has been a mentor for you?

Coach Austin (Mobley), for sure.

What has he given you?

He's just always supportive. If you make mistakes, shake it off and get the next one.
