Never show up late to a sports team parent meeting — it could be the start of a new “career.”

In David Shogren’s case, it resulted in the ultimate 16-year soccer experience. Shogren was recently honored by the United Club of the Northshore Youth Soccer Association (NYSA) for his years of service as coach, referee, assignor and mentor.

“It was 1993,” Shogren, 56, says, “I was late to the first meeting of my daughter’s new rec soccer team when my wife, Mona, volunteered me as assistant coach. 'I’m sure he can help,' she says.”
