What’s the most rewarding thing about coaching youth soccer? 1) Witnessing the developmental changes in the way the kids play both as individuals and as team mates. 2) Hearing the parents say they too see the changes. 3) Knowing the kids I have coached stay with the game long after my experience with them. 4) Long term friendships in the community.  

Interests outside of coaching soccer: Scuba diving with family and friends.
