Autumn has gotten off to a wet, coolish start, but Niels Slotboom, head coach of the Olds College men's and women's soccer teams is OK with that.
In fact, he thinks it's been better weather for his players than they've experienced during the past couple of years.
"I mean, we seem to either have scorching heat during our games or we have half a foot of snow, like we had last year around here last time, so it's better weather than either one of those two extremes," he told the Albertan.
Slotboom said cooler temperatures like those experienced early last week tend to result in fewer injuries or issues like dehydration "so I wouldn't say that it's been a negative effect on our teams in any way, shape or form so far."
"I grew up in this kind of climate in Holland, so to me, this is like home," he said.
"We just have to make sure that the players stay warm."
