Best soccer advice you got?

Soccer is a straightforward game that people have a tendency to over-complicate. It's a player's game, so we have to develop gamers who're independent and may think and execute by themselves without interference. Coach and train with empathy, enthusiasm and empowerment.

Best experience(s) like a coach in the Stanford Football Team?

Getting the privilege of training the Stanford Lightning women team from 2005 to 2012. I had been fortunate to begin with them as U9s and trained them completely to U17. Throughout that point, I increased like a coach and teacher because they increased from excitable young girls to thoughtful and poised teenagers.
