Although the majority of the jobs I've held have not been soccer related, it has always been a goal of mine to coach soccer full time. Growing up in Jamaica, soccer was always a huge part of my life. I began playing soccer when I was 5 years old and have had a genuine love for the game ever since. I've recently moved back to Texas but am willing to relocate if necessary without hesitation. Soccer has molded me into the man I am today. It has taught me discipline, hard work, commitment and being a team player. I feel strongly that I would be the ideal candidate for this position and am currently enrolled in the U.S. Soccer Center Referee Course. I also plan to continue my education through U.S. Soccer by acquiring all levels of certification in the Grassroots Pathway. Thank you for taking the time to consider me for this position. I hope to connect with you in the near future.
