Why not dream big? Obviously, the coaches are.

Year-1
My definition of a great (not good, not very good) first year would be a top 4 finish in league play and semi- final appearance in the league tournament.

Year-2
Be a serious contender for regular season and conference championships.

Year-3
Win regular season and/or tournament championships

Year-4
Successfully defend...

Year 5
Hold the keys to the kingdom

I wasn't familiar with Ted Lasso, so I looked it up. My wife and I have been looking for a good series to follow. It looks like a gem. Thanks!

While we're trying to muster up a little hope and be ever so careful with our phraseology so as to not sound overly optimistic, our head coach has cast a vision of a Final Four appearance somewhere in Valpo's future and put it out there for the world to see. Thus is a man who operates without fear or trepidation.

Reaching the Final Four of the Valley tournament would be a massive accomplishment in Year One. Massive.

A truly amazing show.

So many terrific scenes - especially in the first two seasons. Many great characters too. The show is far more about leadership than it is about soccer.
