Proving it on the Pitch!

 

WHO WE ARE

Our Current Leadership Team

The leadership team is in charge of arranging our participation in nationwide MBA soccer tournaments, friendly games against other schools, weekly practices, and the bar we attend after our friendly games. In theory, they should also manage the team during our soccer games, but they know so little about soccer that we leave that to fate.

Tony Duynstee (El Capitan aka Mr. President)
Tony hails from the soccer mecca of Orange County, CA, where toe punts and long, go-for-broke desperation passes are the norm.  Although not offensive-minded, we try to keep him out of the defensive so as to minimize our chances of scoring on our own goal.  As club president, he has found a niche place of value on the squad as the team equipment manager.  His potential to bring star power to the team lies in the hands of his wife, who we’re desperately recruiting to add futból legitimacy to our club.

Dave Mannix (VP, Fields, Intramurals, and “Friendly Games”)
David gives new definition to the word “intimidation” through a combination of overwhelming slowness and a general lack of foot skills.  Often seen on the pitch staring into the clouds and reminiscing about days when he was more limber, David is a true anchor for the Haas team’s defensive squad.  David is currently in charge of intramurals and field organization for the Haas Soccer Club, and after graduation, he hopes to weasel his way into a head coaching position for the U.S. women’s national team.

Rodolfo Saravia (VP, Irrelevant Communications)
Rodolfo started playing soccer when he was five in his native Guatemala. Amazingly enough, you would have guessed that he learned how to play during the Fall of 2007 as a minimum requirement to be amongst the HSC leadership team. He pulls off the impossible task of never holding his position while simultaneously not running during the entire game. As VP of Communications, Rodolfo periodically sends emails no one ever reads because every person who receives an email with his name on it automatically deletes it.



Kris Harders (VP, Finance)
Kris brings the suave Miami style to the club. He blames his performance on the field to injuries he got while playing his favorite sport: fly-fishing. Apart from his taste for “extreme sports”, Kris likes to harass players who have not paid their club dues by constantly emailing them and posting their pictures at the Courtyard with the headline “Wanted”.
