Philosophy and Commitment
As independent coach, I am trying to establish my own culture free from local club politics. Families involved in youth soccer are being asked to pay a lot of money, travel a lot and we don’t even sure that the coach will develop the player.

MOTIVATION

As today, our kids are young and need to get the proper techniques in soccer. We are still developing a player. Players must love the game and want to play for themselves not their parents or siblings. Players and parents should appreciate that to fulfill individual and team potential it will require a willingness to learn, a commitment to practice, and a desire to work harder than our opponents. Players should acquire the right technique before the age of 12-14 years old. After it is too late to correct it. It is almost like golf!

MEASURING PROGRESS
Short term success will not be measured by winning games, or scoring goals. Individual skills, proper technique used at the right time, effort and combativity will create a complete athlete. The team will learn a style of passing, movement and team possession play that will require a great deal of thought and patience and that will create complete all round players.

Finally
Have fun practicing and playing together
Help each player reach their full potential
Develop individuals who respect each other, rules, officials and opponents
Create well balance players who understand the game
Develop a positive and supportive parental group who have fun together
