At North Mason High School: ' 1999
Boys team to learn the 'Art' of soccer soccer
with impressive international cre-
dentials.

By RICK STEDMAN
The North Mason boys' soccer
team will be under the leadership
this year of Art Busha, a coach
ART BUSHA is the new head coach for the North Ma-
son boys' soccer team. He brings a wealth of experi-
ence and enthusiasm to the team, which gets under-
way on Monday, March 15, against Vashon Island.
Alaska. Van Borkulo served as
the North Mason girls' soccer
coach for five years and the boys'
soccer coach for four seasons.
Busha's tenure as North Ma-
son coach begins with the first
game of the season, slated for
Monday, March 15 at Vashon Is-
land.
The new coach was selected
from several candidates inter-
viewed, said Mark Swofford,
North Mason's athletic director.
"We were really impressed with
Art," said Swofford. "He's really
an upbeat individual and appears
to have the discipline to do a
great job for us."
IN ADDITION to Busha's
warm personality, Swofford was
impressed with the new coach's
credentials. "He's held several
varsity positions and also coached
in international settings as well,"
said Swofford. "He seems to work
very well with kids."
According to Swofford, the high
school invited two varsity soccer
players to partake in the inter-
view process. Scan Pollock and
Jeff Summit felt Busha was the
kind of individual they could play
for. "Scan and Jeff were im-
pressed with Art, as we all were,"
said Swoflbrd.
Busha comes to North Mason
from King's West where he's
served as coach the last two
years. "I'm honored to be given
this opportunity," said an enthu-
siastic Busha.
The new coach is a firm believ-
er in motivation and team spirit.
He readily quotes the legendary
former UCLA basketball coach
John Wooden, who said, "It's not
the will to win, but the will to
prepare to win that counts."
BUSHA CAN ATTEST to
that first hand. His boys team at
Bow hunters host tournament

Lctler on file
King's West last year didn't win a
single game. But they played bet-
ter than the other team, every
game except one, said the coach.
"We never gave up, and we al-
ways were the aggressor."
Despite the modest win-loss
numbers, King's West earned the
respect of the league by being
given the Sportsmanship Award
for competitiveness. Busha was
also runner-up for coach of the
year in the SeaTac League.
"I'm a fair coach," said the
1971 graduate of Central Kitsap
High School. "I feel I'm a player's
coach; we're in this together and
that's why we collectively estab-
lish team goals."
BUSHA GREW UP playing
youth soccer in Keflavik, Iceland.
He maintained dual citizenship
until he was 18. His family moved
to Washington State when he was
10 years old, only to find out that
at the time, the United States
had barely heard of soccer, let
alone offer it in school.
He thus concentrated his athle-
tic skills on football, basketball
and baseball, the latter of which
he excelled.
Busha played college baseball
at Western Washington in Bel-
lingham where he graduated in
1979. He then moved to Guam
and started an indoor soccer pro-
gram for that country.
Busha's other coaching en-
deavors include a stint at Christ
The King Academy in Poulsbo
during the early 1980s followed
by five years of teaching and
coaching soccer in Bakersfield,
California.
AFTER A BRIEF stop at
Bangor where he was in charge of
the intramural program in 1987-
88, Busha then spent the next
several years in Quito, Ecuador,
teaching and coaching at an in-
ternational school.
"At the international school in
Quito, we had 25 different coun-
tries represented," said Busha.
"Our soccer team was truly inter-
national."
The North Mason coach added,
"It was a neat experience in inter-
national play; it taught the kids a
lot about getting along with
others and understanding differ-
ent cultures."
During his travels, Busha has
always kept up on the skill end of
coaching by attending numerous
seminars and coaching classes.
According to Busha, soccer is the
only sport where coaches are cer-
tified on their skill level.
BUSHA RECENTLY re-
ceived his premiere coaching li-
cense from the National Soccer
Coaches Athletic Association. The
governing body imparts informa-
tion like coaching methodology
and how to run better practices.
Busha seemingly has adopted
the teachings of the NSCAA. "I
care a great deal about kids, and I
want to invest in their future, not
merely as a soccer player but also
as a person," says North Mason's
new coach.
Judging by the results of some
of his former players, Busha is
definitely on the right track. To
date, he has nearly 20 players
who have gone on to play college-
level soccer.
"I love to see players develop;
it's great to see them leave a
mark in some way," said Busha.
"My goal as a coach is to bring
a sense of cohesiveness and unity
to a team, and I do that with en-
thusiasm," he said.
THOUGH NORTH Mason
finished last year with a .500
record, Busha feels the team has
the potential for putting it all to-
gether. "From what I see, there's
a good core of kids returning,"
said the optimistic coach.
"I want to involve all team
members in the action, not just a
few. You have to prove yourself as
a player," said Busha.
Win, lose or draw this year, the
North Mason Bulldog soccer team
will be competitive - thanks to
the brand of soccer introduced by
Art Busha.
