April 2012 to June 2012 - Arsenal Football Club - Barbados
As part of Arsenal Gap year Program, I was able to go to Barbados to coach youth soccer and represent Arsenal Football Club.

Have been playing since I was 8- I'm 39 now. Have played at high levels in Germany, England and Barbados. I'm always playing and just love the game. Have a real passion to always get better and love teaching the game to any inspiring young players.

I like to change up my session based on the players needs but do have sort of a play by play. Usually if it's an hour session I'll start with a 10 minutes "with ball" warm up, 5 minute stretch, 15-20 minutes "no pressure" skill or technical learning, 15-20 minutes of a progression, and the last bit of the session working with light real life pressure to simulate a game situation with the learning from the day.
