| Generation Adidas Norcross Cup | | |  |  | Good Afternoon,
My name is Kristopher Hanks and I am the new Head Coach of the Women's Soccer program here at Wake Tech Community College. I was hired to turn this program around and that is what I intend to do through an abrupt culture change. I wanted to alter the way that we look at ourselves as a team, the way the school looks at us as a team, and the way the conference looks at us as a team. We are well on our way to achieving that! I have brought my up-tempo, hard-press, always-working tactical philosophy to Wake Tech and it has paid dividends. We have broken school record after school record this year including 8 wins, a +29 goal differential, the program’s first trip to the Region Tournament, and a player who finished the season ranked in the Top-15 nationally for Goals, Assists, and Total Points.
As you may well know, we are a 2-year, Junior College just outside of beautiful Downtown Raleigh. Our school offers the reclusiveness of a campus set off in the countryside but pairs it with a proximity to the vibrant city life of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. We are a highly acclaimed, affordable option for high school Seniors looking to ease their way into a 4-year university setting, get their General Education classes out of the way at nearly half the price of an In-State school, or work through any academic issues that may be plaguing their overarching academic or athletic goals. It is my aim to continue my proven track record in helping those who would like to find a spot in a four-year institution do so (playing soccer or just enjoying the experience of earning their degree). I have placed players on the Varsity teams at Shaw University, High Point University, and other schools across the country.
I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have about what it is like to play for the team; scheduling, game travel, practices, and finances are all things to consider. Our season is split into two separate Fall and Spring sessions. Each has meaning for the other concerning conference tournament placements and the like, but they are scheduled, practiced for, and played as though they are brand new years. At the beginning of each season, the team holds a tryout. This is to ensure that we have the best possible players from across campus to help us achieve our lofty goals. If you are on the team for the season prior to the tryout you obviously have a leg up (chemistry and relationships are paramount in our family), but you are not guaranteed a place on the roster. You must be willing to continually put in the work, both on and off the field, to better yourself and help better the team. There are several groups within the team that get together outside of practice to lift, run, and do ball-work. These things can do nothing but push you forward in your soccer pursuits and strengthen the bond you have with the team.
Something I always tell my teams, "Be good to yourselves, be good to your teammates, and do your job", sums up what this team is about. You must be good to yourself in order to succeed in life; get that extra hour of sleep, eat that extra serving of vegetables, study for 30 more minutes, sprint that final 100 yards on your run. You must be good to your teammates in order to succeed on a team; watch out for them on and off the field, trust their judgment when you can and help them toward a better choice when you must, show up--to games, to practices, to workouts, whatever it may be. Finally, you must do your job; make the overlapping run even though you are tired, stay disciplined and don't chase the ball out of your zone of responsibility, play the pass when it is there, be patient. All of these things are pieces of the puzzle that is a successful season. If you can help us assemble the puzzle, you will be just fine.
I hope to hear from you, as it has been a pleasure sharing our vision with you. |

| Athens United Finale | | | | | My name is Kristopher Hanks and I was hired in May 2018 as the new Head Coach of the Women's Soccer program here at Wake Tech Community College. My hire was in an effort to turn this program around and that is what I intend to do through an abrupt culture change and by bringing in players like yourself. I wanted to alter the way that we look at ourselves as a team, the way the school looks at us as a team, and the way the conference looks at us as a team. We are well on our way to achieving that! I have brought my up-tempo, hard-press, always-working tactical philosophy to Wake Tech and it has paid dividends. We have broken school record after school record this year including 8 wins, a +29 goal differential, the program’s first trip to the Region Tournament, and a player who finished the season ranked in the Top-15 nationally for Goals, Assists, and Total Points. Our goals for next year include an 11-win campaign, a Top-2 seed in the conference, a Region X Championship, and a trip to Nationals.

At just over $2,000/year for In-State students and $6,000/year for Out of State students, Wake Tech provides top-level programming for very little in return. A consortium agreement between Wake Tech and the State Schools of North Carolina ensures that any credits earned at Wake Tech are guaranteed to transfer to every state school in North Carolina! It is my aim to continue my proven track record in helping those who would like to find a spot in a four-year institution do so (playing soccer or just enjoying the experience of earning their degree).

I was hired to turn this program around and that is what I intend to do through an abrupt culture change. I want to alter the way that we look at ourselves as a team, the way the school looks at us as a team, and the way the conference looks at us as a team. I plan to bring my up-tempo, hard-press, always-working tactical philosophy to Wake Tech.
On that note, it is my job to ensure that our team is filled with players that I feel can best put this mentality into practice on the field. We are looking for players of a high caliber that hold positive, creative, and competitive mindset. I would love to speak with you about joining the Eagles Soccer Family when you graduate.

I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have about what it is like to play for the team; scheduling, game travel, practices, and finances are all things to consider. Our season is split into two separate Fall and Spring sessions. Each has meaning for the other concerning conference tournament placements and the like, but they are scheduled, practiced for, and played as though they are brand new years. At the beginning of each season, the team holds a tryout. This is to ensure that we have the best possible players from across campus to help us achieve our lofty goals. If you are on the team for the season prior to the tryout you obviously have a leg up (chemistry and relationships are paramount in our family), but you are not guaranteed a place on the roster. You must be willing to continually put in the work, both on and off the field, to better yourself and help better the team. There are several groups within the team that get together outside of practice to lift, run, and do ball-work. These things can do nothing but push you forward in your soccer pursuits and strengthen the bond you have with the team.
Something I always tell my teams, "Be good to yourselves, be good to your teammates, and do your job", sums up what this team is about. You must be good to yourself in order to succeed in life; get that extra hour of sleep, eat that extra serving of vegetables, study for 30 more minutes, sprint that final 100 yards on your run. You must be good to your teammates in order to succeed on a team; watch out for them on and off the field, trust their judgment when you can and help them toward a better choice when you must, show up--to games, to practices, to workouts, whatever it may be. Finally, you must do your job; make the overlapping run even though you are tired, stay disciplined and don't chase the ball out of your zone of responsibility, play the pass when it is there, be patient. All of these things are pieces of the puzzle that is a successful season. If you can help us assemble the puzzle, you will be just fine.
I hope to hear from you, as it has been a pleasure sharing our vision with you. |

| AFC Lightning Challenge | | | | | My name is Kristopher Hanks and I am the new Head Coach of the Women's Soccer Program at Wake Tech Community College in Raleigh, NC. As you may well know, we are a 2-year, Junior College just outside of beautiful Downtown Raleigh. Our school offers the reclusiveness of a campus set off in the countryside but pairs it with a proximity to the vibrant city life of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. We are a highly acclaimed, affordable option for high school Seniors looking to ease their way into a 4-year university setting, get their General Education classes out of the way at nearly half the price of an In-State school, or work through any academic issues that may be plaguing their overarching academic or athletic goals.
As the Head Coach, it is my job to put the best possible team into the field each season. You know as well as I that finding players that encapsulate what it means to be a collegiate soccer player can be a tough task. They need to show dedication to their academics and their craft, as well as a passion for the game that might supersede their desire to head out to that party on a Friday night before a big conference game. It is in this pursuit that I am asking for your help. I am currently scouring the area to find the best, non-committed female soccer players to join the Eagles Soccer Family for the 2018-19 school year and beyond. If you are a graduating or rising Senior on your team that may be looking to ply their trade at the next level, I would request that you provide me with some information about how you feel you fit into your team and what you may bring to a collegiate squad. It is my aim to continue my proven track record in helping those who would like to find a spot in a four-year institution do so (playing soccer or just enjoying the experience of earning their degree). I have placed players on the Varsity teams at Shaw University, High Point University, and other schools across the country.
Something I always tell the girls on my teams, "Be good to yourselves, be good to your teammates, and do your job", sums up what this Wake Tech team is about. You must be good to yourself in order to succeed in life; get that extra hour of sleep, eat that extra serving of vegetables, study for 30 more minutes, sprint that final 100 yards on your run. You must be good to your teammates in order to succeed on a team; watch out for them on and off the field, trust their judgment when you can and help them toward a better choice when you must, show up--to games, to practices, to workouts, whatever it may be.

I look forward to hearing from you,

| Independence Boys Showcase | | | | | My name is Kristopher Hanks and I am the new Head Coach of the Women's Soccer program here at Wake Tech Community College. I was hired to turn this program around and that is what I intend to do through an abrupt culture change. I wanted to alter the way that we look at ourselves as a team, the way the school looks at us as a team, and the way the conference looks at us as a team. We are well on our way to achieving that! I have brought my up-tempo, hard-press, always-working tactical philosophy to Wake Tech and it has paid dividends already with a 6-3-1 record in conference and a +40 goal differential overall.

| Bojangles' Beast of the East | | | | | Wake Technical Community College is a two year school offering many degrees ranging from Associates in Arts/Science/Fine Arts Transfer to specific two year degrees like Simulation and Game Development, Advertising and Graphic Design, Culinary Arts, and Criminal Justice Technologies. Wake Tech is fully accredited and offers more than 180 associate’s degrees, diplomas, and certificates that prepare students for university transfer or immediate employment. Wake Tech is a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and Region X Conference offering 12 different men and women's sports.
Wake Tech can be a good platform to progress as a student/athlete. Just listen to Nazmi Albadawi, a former student/athlete at Wake Tech who went on to play at NC State and is now playing professional soccer for the Carolina Railhawks. Nazmi was named North American Soccer League Player of the Week on October 12, 2014. By going to Wake Tech "It was a good way to work my way up,” Nazmi says. "I wasn’t ready to go to State. By going to Wake Tech I was still in the college environment, but was still at home. It was getting me prepared for the next step.”
He says that his Wake Tech experience “helped me focus in the classroom a lot more, actually doing work in the classroom and not messing around. Helped me get use to the college level for soccer as well, to get use to a faster paced game. Wake Tech was a stepping stone for me to get to NC State and then to where I am today." Wake Tech's soccer program has sent other student athletes on to different Division I, II, and III NCAA four year schools like NC State, Mount Olive College, and William Peace University.
