What has inspired me to coach for 5+ years is watching kids grow as not only players but individuals. It’s rewarding to see them improve daily.  I believe that soccer teaches kids growth in many areas of their lives. The correlation from the field to daily life experiences is something they can carry forever. I enjoy coaching as I am able to instill in each player the lessons, fundamentals & education that I have learned over the years. I chose Blackhawks as it’s all about the kids & community. We don’t just “walk the walk”, we care about our youth.
