FAVORITE PART ABOUT WORKING AT THE INDEPENDENCE


  • “My favorite part about working at the Independence is being able to help my players grow as a person and as a soccer player. I'm proud that I can aid in their development and relish the opportunity to teach them lessons that will transcend the soccer pitch. Getting a big hug from players whom I've coached for summer camp, PDCs, Ball Mastery, Functional Training, the Recreation program, the Youth Academy or Competitively, and them being excited to tell me about the next step in their soccer journey is my best reward."
