I have a deep love and passion for coaching kids and teens. I have been playing soccer since I was 5 years old, and I still play in an adult league to this day. I currently am coaching a high school girl's varsity team as well as a club team.

I have been coaching soccer for over 12 years in all levels – from high school head coach, high school lower level head coach, to lower level elementary school, to club teams, to assisting at the Varsity level, and everything in between, both males and females. Because I have coached and assisted at so many different stages with diverse players, I have successfully handled just about every situation that arises on and off the playing field. I consider myself a very well-rounded great all-around coach because I have coached all levels and at all positions.

I love coaching on an individual level, getting to know my players and getting to be their mentors. I love being more than just a coach - just as I have learned from many great mentors and coaches before me, I want to teach life lessons of ethics and morals while creating a fun, comfortable, and consistent environment for players.

It is important for me to see development - both as players and as people. I want to continue to watch my players grow and advance. My sessions typically consist of light jogging and stretching, followed by technique and footwork. I like to offer a lot of on-the-ball training and resistance/agility work. The specifics will depend on the position you play - but I have coached players at every position in detail. I want my players to feel that they have learned something in their game that will help them move forward, something they can use as soon as their next time on the field.
