personal soccer achievements

As a youth player, I made the Las Cruces Select team from U-12 to U-19.  I also made the U-16 New Mexico State select team.  I was also invited to tryout for the ODP Youth Program.  

I was a Varsity starter my senior year in high school, the very 1st year of Onate's soccer program.  I was offered scholarships to Texas Tech, Hardin-Simmons, ASU, McMurray State and few other NAIA progams during my graduating year of 1992.

With my current youth club team that I have coached the past 2 fall seasons, we have qualified for the Tournament of Champions Tournament that is played in Dallas in December.

Finally, I am obtaining my D coaching license.
