Thank you for taking a few minutes to check out this small page.

Any season can be a fun and exciting time for both athletes on a team as well as their families who follow and attend their games.

I know many of you have been and or are possibly involved in coaching at the moment. Some in soccer and others in other sports. Like me your motivation is not or was not inspired by money but rather a desire to make a difference in the lives of our young people. To give them an opportunity to experience the growth, friendships, team building skills and the disciplines that come from being on a team.

I personally take my responsibility seriously, spending many hours before the season even starts in preparation. Once the season starts, as many hours are spent again in preparation for the season. A practice does not pass as either a game that I don't spend much time in reflection on what should be changed, what should be strengthened and what should be deleted.

As the season progresses I get to know your boys better and as importantly, their weaknesses and strengths. It is around these insights that I organize and direct our practices. Much thought and preparation goes into what hopefully will show up during any given match.

I ask that you allow me to be the coach. Of course it always easy to be an armchair coach making observations after the fact which of course is something I do as well. Every decision I make is well intentioned, however we all know that situations often evolve differently than that which we intended.

Will I make mistakes, absolutely. I guess the trick is to make as few mistakes as possible, but all decisions I make will always be centered around what I see in practices, what I know about the boys and data from our previous games.

So again I ask you to support me as well as your boys by letting me be the coach and you being your sons and his team mates greatest fan.

...Coach
