philosophy
I believe in fostering a child’s love for soccer by teaching them the game and how to work together as a team. There is something about a team sport that bonds kids – it teaches them respect, toughness, self-awareness and discipline in a way that very few things in life can do at such an early age. In my experience, if you can create an atmosphere where kids are part of something bigger than themselves, you’ve got them for life. Once they love the game and love playing for a team, those kids will train and push themselves, and their teammates, to individual successes both on and off the field.
