I don't blame the players, I don't blame the parents, I blame programs and I blame the coaches.

I don't know how smart I am, but I was a student of the game and I still watch games and still pick up things. If you watch individual players you will see genius.

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

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.

Placing blame on others is easy. Taking responsibility for yourself is empowering.

Overseas, kids grow up in a soccer culture. The German player sees the game eons above the American player the same age.

I put myself around good people, including my assistant coaches. A lot of head coaches are intimidated by their assistant coaches, they'd rather get people that are far less talented than them because it's not threatening.
