Why did you choose to coach?

I wanted to share the knowledge of this beautiful to young boys and girls and watch them fall in love with soccer.”

Favorite memory coaching:

“I guess the best memories to me are the games that the team doesn’t think they could win and because of all the hard work they put in they end up winning. The expression on their faces are priceless.”

Major accomplishments within the club:

Having won many tournament’s and 2 state cup finals.”
