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.

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

Talent is not enough. It's an important component in a successful performance, but it's really only a starting point.

Don't whine. Find the positive in difficult situations.

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.

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

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