My coaching experience began in 2017. My then 4 year old daughter randomly said she wanted to try soccer and off we went. I have been coaching ever since from the Recreation level, AYSO, and now Club soccer.
I believe every child has something unique they can offer every team. I try to build confidence in every player I coach. If you want to see your players do what you ask then over praise them when they begin to get it right. You will see them light up and the confidence begins to grow. I tell my players “You have permission to make mistakes.” I love to see players be brave and try new things.
My practices are built around ball mastery, winning 1v1, building out of the back, possession, & decision making. I don’t believe practices should be made up of lines. Every child should get maximum touches on the ball in every practice to continue to build their skills. Practices are highly competitive to mimic game situations. I strive to put players in all types of situations in practice so when they are in that situation in a game they have the knowledge to succeed.
My team's slogan always remains the same “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose!”
