The best part about coaching is that I get to see and most importantly be a part of their wholesome development. We talk at Fairfield University about the development of the Mind – Body – Spirit and it’s the same thing here at Revolution. You’re teaching young adults and young children how to play the game of football (soccer), specifically their technical ability (first touch, etc), tactical ability (movement off/on the ball, etc), and their psychosocial (attitude, etc). Within that, you’re teaching them valuable life lessons like discipline, listening skills, creativity, etc.

It is vitally important to understand the human behind the player. This understanding and relationship building lends our coaches to get the most out of our players seeing a positive trajectory in their personal growth. At Revolution United, this is something we stand by that separates us from others. Ultimately, you’re teaching them to develop, compete and succeed on and off which is what I love to do.
