Coaching soccer, like disciplines including journalism, you'll always learn if you're open to it, you'll learn from your players. If that's being smart, fair enough.

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.

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.

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.
