Coaching philosophy

I believe that at young ages the main focus should be on developing foot skills and good technique, while having fun. Every practice should include some fun, competitive games where the kids learn good soccer technique and develop good habits while simply playing games. I believe that player development is much more important than winning at young ages.

A good coach is one who helps his players maximize or discover their potential. That is his principal function.
