“I coach for AYSO United because of our vision to “enrich children’s lives”. Soccer is a mechanism to teach our youth about life - leadership, teamwork, relationships, hard work, individual mastery, how to handle both success and failure with humility, and sportsmanship. These are the skills that grow our future in New Mexico and it’s a pleasure to be part of that future. ”

“I like coaching in our club because we will always be considered the underdog compared to other clubs due to our AYSO affiliation. Other clubs often find success by accumulating talent, whereas we often find success by developing talent. It’s extremely satisfying to see our players compete with, and often outplay, teams from other clubs with a supposedly higher soccer pedigree.”

I started coaching in 2018 when my son decided to play. I’d played for 30+ years at that point and when the request for volunteers came in I took up the challenge. Since then I’ve coached a variety of age groups, both girls and boys, in DCSL, including 2013s, 2010s, 2008s, and 2007s.
I coach at AYSO United because the club’s philosophies align with my coaching goals. In particular the clubs emphasis on enjoyment, education, and player growth.
