Seattle Sounders FC Head Coach Sigi Schmid on how players and team grow during the off-season:
"I think you saw glimpses of it last year, but it grows. I always view it as really the amount of work that's put in during the offseason. When guys are really buying in, when they're really committed, then they're very conscientious in their offseason and come in prepared to play. He was our MVP last year and he's a great player, but look at Alonso's preparation this offseason -- vastly different than his preparation last offseason. Look at Montero's preparation, different than last offseason. Zach Scott and some of those guys are always very constant in what they do, but I think everybody's offseason preparations were more intense, more focused and that's where you really see the buy-in and belief and trust in each other, that 'OK, this is going to make us better.' "
