How long have you been coaching soccer? 

This is my 8th year coaching full-time.

I'm looking forward to establishing and creating a culture/style of play, getting to know the players, and of course matches and competing!

Who is your favorite sports hero? 

My dad. He taught me how to play the game, think about the game, how to act as a leader and a teammate and developed me into the player, coach, and man I am today.

What is your favorite sports quote? 

"Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is." - Johan Cruyff or "Quality without results is pointless. Results without quality is boring."
 - Johan Cruyff

What is your favorite sports movie?

How does being an athlete make you a better person? 

Apart from its obvious physical benefits, being an athlete forces you to take total responsibility for your preparation, focus, and performance. It's a method of collective expression that teaches you how to traverse life's greatest obstacles. And in team sports, it shows the power of unity and cohesion. When people bond together for a collective goal, anything can be achieved. Lastly, it pushes you beyond the limits you thought were possible inside of yourself. Also, it's fun!
