“Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to our boys.  You’ve helped bring their skills and knowledge of the game to a higher level, guided them through a season and inspired them to play up to their potential.  Most importantly, you’ve been a consistent role model for how an athlete and human being should behave in competition and in life.”                                                    - Sergej (Team parent U12B team)

“I credit my soccer skills to your coaching, but you gave me much more as I realized that morning and every monumental moment I’ve had since I’ve been here. (College preseason - NC State) You kept me humble, you never let me use excuses, you taught me that excuses would just hold me back, you held me to a higher standard and always pushed me, you wouldn’t accept anything but my best, you gave me obstacles and challenges that I was forced to overcome, and you taught me to cherish the game.  So thank you.  I really wouldn’t be here without you.”                                                                                                                  - Shannon (College Freshman, former player (club, high school, ODP, All American)
