Why I coach for TKO Premier SC: I love to see the players become better at soccer and grow into young men and women. I still have a lot of fun with all the players.
Fun fact about me: I have climbed Half-Dome in California and bungee jumped.
Parent Perspective:
“He has been very supportive of my daughter's continued growth in playing soccer. He seems to expect a lot from his players, and gets a lot from them -- they like him as a coach and mentor, and therefore give their best when they step on the field.”
