We recently attended a "meet and greet" potluck BBQ event for the Cal Poly Men's Soccer Team, and their new coach Steve Sampson and his staff - at the Babcock's home in SLO (we were grateful for the invite!). We took a few photos, and got to meet Steve Sampson, who has had much success and fame in coaching college and professional soccer in the US and abroad.

Before coming to Cal Poly, I had seen Steve's name over and over again in US soccer news. To have him come here to Cal Poly SLO, and be able to meet him, was both an honor and a pleasure.

Steve even has his own Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Sampson
