Coaching Philosophy:
Soccer can be a beautiful game when executed properly and it starts with the coaches being prepared, training with a purpose, and instilling a desire for excellence. Improvement and understanding of what is being worked on in practice will show itself on game day when the players come out and apply what they have worked on in training. As individual play improves, the team play becomes stronger. It takes the entire team being capable of having a good first touch, anticipating the next play, understanding defensive principles, and knowing how to move on and off the ball. When these all these individual abilities come together and the players work together as a team, the passing, possession and finishing make for a beautiful game.

“There are many people, particularly in sports who think that success and excellence are the same thing and they are not the same thing.
Excellence is something that is lasting and dependable and largely within a person’s control. In contrast, success is perishable and is often outside our control…
If you strive for excellence, you will probably be successful eventually…people who put excellence in first place have the patience to end up with success…” Joe Paterno, Penn State 1990
