I’m as enthusiastic about the game as I was when I first started playing over 35 years ago and love sharing this passion through teaching. I strive to develop the “total footballer” with an emphasis on simple yet purposeful possession of the ball, hard work, and creativity.
Typical training sessions include technical ball work; a focus on quick, attacking play; encouraging players to solve problems on their own and through group effort; as well as a physical fitness/muscle building component.
I feel the game of soccer is a great teacher of life and the means by which to apply lessons of respect for self, peers, authority, the club, and the game itself.
