I coach because I love the game.

I love watching kids gain confidence and skills and friendships through soccer.

I love watching them fall in love with the game too and the role it can play in their lives.

I coach because I had great coaches who taught me to love the game.

I coach because when I was twelve and obsessed with Pele I was lucky enough to attend a soccer camp featuring Pele and Beckenbauer and Chinaglia. We had training every day to learn from them. We spent each evening laying on the floor of the dorms listening to them play guitar and sing songs on the floor above us. For anyone who has seen Ted Lasso, we learned that "soccer is life!"
