Philosophy:
Respect and value the talents and abilities that players of every level bring to the field.
Champion the underdog. Coaches should apply methods and practices that work best for the
individual athlete to develop, both athletically and emotionally, to reach their fullest potential.
Treat players with kindness and respect as the young adults they are, and always help them strive
to be their best, both on and off the field. Help to shape solid citizens.
Players should be with a club because of the coaching, not in spite of it.
