The Pitch
From left to right, Farhad Sharifai, coach Guido Zucconi, Jakob Lindsey and Javier Diaz celebrate their commitments to playing Division III soccer at their respective colleges during the Senior Signing Ceremony on May 22. Zucconi is extremely proud of the trio and not only the work they have done on the field for WJ but also how they have matured off it. “Coaching them has been great,” Zucconi said. “I've never had a problem with them, and just like any family, we've had our fights, but it's always been super mature. I'm really impressed by how three young men have taken coaching, instructions and stood up for themselves when needed. We've always found a way to come together at the end, even if we were frustrated with each other.” (Courtesy @wjboyssoccer via Instagram)
