Bad News Bears head coach, Oscar Aviles, is keeping with his promises of turning his team around for the upcoming 2012 Spring season. From bringing in new players to improving the team's performance and mentality, Coach Oscar is doing whatever it takes to get his team to the top. This includes the club coming to a deal with the top kickball player/coach in the world, Scott Machala.
For the few that are not familiar, Scott Machala single handedly turned a struggling kickball team around in two seasons, producing some of the finest teams and players the kickball world has seen. The club sees this type of direction rubbing onto Coach Oscar's goals for this season.
"Coach Oscar and I are both on the same page on what this team needs and I feel like I'm the right man for the job. I believe in this club and I see the things that need to change. I want to be there to make it all happen so this club can enjoy being at the top."
With the new job comes a bit of conflict, as Scott is married to one of the club's players, Marvette Limon-Machala. At the time, there was strong concern that their marriage could prevent Scott from executing his duties successfully.
"She's my wife until the day I die, but when we are on that soccer field, it's business. My game face will be on, just like everyone else on the team. I will make sure that everyone, including my wife, is on the same page before, during and after each game."
Scott has been a supporter of the club since the 2010 Fall season, and has temporarily filled in for Oscar when personal obligations have kept him away from the team. He was very much in the know on team strategy, along with keeping up with players subs and being a second pair of eyes for Oscar.
"The club expressed how much of an easy transition this would be for both sides, as I am familiar with the team's direction, just as they are familiar with my strong desire to win and keep winning. Failure is not an option. We've passed that point a long time ago."
Oscar now has a complete staff that will go out and fulfill scouting duties for the Bears' upcoming opponents, a task that was rarely initiated. The focus can now be taken off of the players to fill in when Oscar is unable to attend games, and allow a permanent replacement to take over.
"Oscar is the head coach and it's his way. I am here to make sure that his new vision for the team is executed on the field. When he's not on the sideline, it'll be my job to have Oscar speak through me, keeping everything consistent, from the mentality of the players to the strategy of the team and everything in between."
There is plenty of excitement since the news has broken out of Scott Machala being named the Bears' new assistant coach. Things are sure looking up for the Bears this season. Will this be the year that the Bears bring bad news to their opponents?
