Thursday, October 13, 1983The Daily Tar Heel7 For Griffin, talk is all that it takes By LEE ROBERTS SiafT Writer Geoff Griffin stood outside the soccer fieldhouse before the team's September departure to the George Mason Tourna ment and waited for an answer. "Look," he said to the soccer player standing before him, "if you're not going to play with any more intensity than that, then you can just stay home. We won't need you on this trip." "I'm willing to bust it," the player said. "Good, then," Griffin said. "The bus leaves at five." Griffin, as usual, was not unrealistical ly harsh, just strong and firm with no bones about what he wanted from his players. His competitive spirit, coaching and communication skills have made the assistant men's soccer coach one of the many bright spots in a growing program. Griffin's ability to work with his players has earned him respect among his pupils and peers alike, and his stress on commu nication has had a positive effect on the team. Sophomore midfielder Mark Devey echoed the sentiments of many of the soc cer players when he said, "Coach Griffin is very understanding. He's easy to talk to, and he spends a lot of time dealing with players outside the game situation." Griffin said he enjoys the interaction. "They have to have an input," he said in an interview Tuesday. "When we iron out things together, it makes for an effec tive working group." Griffin ought to know his communica tion skills, because he graduated from Chapel Hill in 1976 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English education. He followed that up with a year of teaching and coaching at Chapel Hill High School. Griffin played soccer at UNC from 1972-1976 alongside present head coach Anson Dorrance. When Dorrance was named head coach, Griffin joined the North Carolina soccer staff, coaching the junior varsity squad in 1978 and 1979. He has been an integral part of Dorrance 's coaching staff ever since, acquiring more responsibility as well as Dorrance' s respect along the way. Griffin said that he is responsible for training the players on a daily basis, and scouting in preparation for matches. Griffin, 29, has also taken up recruiting chores in the Northeast, which is where a large number of UNC recruits come from. At such a young age and with so much experience in a major soccer pro gram, Griffin would be a prime candidate for a head coaching job somewhere else. Whether or not head coaching is in Grif fin's future plans is unclear. "My short-term goals are to finish my degree," he said. "I've really enjoyed teaching. I would like to get involved in educational management, whether in coaching or in the public schools." Griffin related an experience he had after he left UNCJn 1976 which typified his goal-orientednilosophy. ."I got into running," he said. "I wanted to see what my body could do." After qualifying in his first marathon, Griffin set out to run in the Daddy of them all, the Boston Marathon. "After 13 miles I was cooking," he said. "From there on in, it was all psycho logical." While that anecdote displays that Grif fin can set his own goals and reach them, he also works very hard with the players at establishing their own goals. Devey said Griffin gave the players goals in training sessions. "By the time the season started," he said, "we were as prepared" as anyone in the country." Players cited Griffin's hard working at titude as having forced them to work hard and reach their goals, both as indi viduals and as a team. , "You've got to keep challenging your self," Griffin said. "You can always do more. You've got to celebrate life and just go for it." lini ii unii iijjj.j.i jiiimiiinMiininuiwiiimimniimiw I i rmiirn.iimnnrrnirn-r-1 "MM""''r" . .ww w,.- v ! - .v-s J pZ.-Tr If Vt I tWVy .YAy sys i JHyYf ... ... xy , DTHOaries LecMord Assistant soccer coach Geoff Griffin studies the game from the side lines.
