If you put good people around you, I guess you're smart. You learn from them and that makes you a better coach.

Have a vision and then create your own reality. Otherwise, someone else may create it for you.

It takes courage to dream big and then to allow nothing to prevent you from realizing that dream.

At a youth soccer game you'll probably hear parents and coaches on the sidelines yelling, 'Pass the ball! Pass the ball!' ... When we continually tell our young players to pass the ball, we're not allowing them to develop their full potential, especially those who have the ability to take their opponents on and beat them one-on-one. As a result, we run the risk of diminishing a player's artistry and potential.

Don't get angry; get better.

Youth soccer is big business. If I don't win, it doesn't matter if I'm developing players, my business is going to hell.

The smartest thing is knowing that I don't know it all and that there's more to learn.
