My favorite thing to do as a kid was play soccer. Soccer development should be fun! Growing up, I was blessed to have two brothers which fostered an environment where “iron sharpens iron.” Soccer has allowed for lifelong friendships and a competitive drive that doesn’t go away overnight. I have played with and against great players, some of whom have gone on to play professionally. I enjoy helping to develop the young player and love watching my children play.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Teddy Roosevelt.
