Summary
I am a motivated and dynamic coach who has been involved in soccer from a young age. I played soccer in kindergarten and advanced to college and semi-professional levels. My love for the game evolved into coaching, which I have been involved in for over 15 years which I enjoy immensely. As a coach, I believe in improving my own knowledge and skills to develop and motivate the best technical and tactical aspects of each player, but also to shape their character as a person through discipline, self-control, and teamwork.
