Interview Los Coyotes

An interview with Jose Dominguez, manager of the Los Coyotes.

Team Stats: Los Coyotes

When was your team founded?
Los Coyotes as a club was founded in 2010.

In which city is your team located?
We are from Linz, Austria. Linz is the regional capital from Upper Austria and is a nice & friendly city on the Danube.

Give us a short history of your team
We as Dominicans love the game of baseball & softball. At the beginning a lot of players played baseball for several teams in Europe. After a while we were introduced to the game of Slowpitch. At the beginning we were skeptical but we soon realized that this game is very challenging. Exactly the challenge is somtheing that drives us. Since the foundation of the club we won all possible Slowpitch titles in Austria and last year we won our first ESSL tournament in Slovenia.

What do you expect from this season and what are your goals?
We expect a tough season because all teams definitely improved compared to last year. I am pretty sure that the games against US teams will be a fight until the last inning. We will also keep an eye on the Slovenians. Every year they are coming closer and closer. Our goal is to always play our best game and to have fun on & off the field.

What do you think of the ESSL?
The ESSL is a great opportunity to meet new friends, travel around Europe and to play Slowpitch on the highest possible level in Europe. For us it’s all about the game and the people. We love Slowpitch because there is so much friendship and respect involved. After a game everybody has fun and everything during a game is long gone. That’s the spirit of Slowpitch.

How do you see the future of the ESSL?
I foresee the ESSL as having a great future. More teams will be involved and the idea of the Super Cup is another step forward.
