About Me:

For the past several years I have been working with the 2013B age group, from their entry into the competitive landscape at the Pre-Academy level, to contributing to their development and progression from 4v4 to 11v11.  I believe in creating a platform for my players to build upon and improve their individual and team fundamentals, as well as continue to build upon and improve their individual and team tactical awareness.  I believe that player development takes time and is not overnight.  I enjoy seeing players and teams I work with improve year over year and achieve their goals, (be that movement to a first team or tactical improvement in a certain position).  I like to set achievable (yet challenging) standards for my players, and I empower my teams to achieve those standards and goals.  I want my players to enjoy themselves, enjoy their teams, and I want my players to continue to breed their competitive spirit and compete every day in training and on match day.  I want my players to play this game long after their time with me as a coach, from intramurals to pick-up games, to continuing their competitive career.  I look forward to sharing my passion for this game.
