If I could give him a 0 I would. Stay far away from this Coach. He will break your daughter down. He’s such a big bully and will make your daughter feel uncomfortable and less of herself. He says that team bond is important to him and doesn’t tolerate players being rude and disrespectful to one another which is completely false. He is rude and disrespectful to the parents and the kids. Just like the last post said he’s more concerned about driving around on his golf cart. I had a parent come to me recently and say that he told their daughter that she isn’t good enough to play on surf fields and that she shouldn’t even be there. Don’t say you weren’t warned. Ask around, nobody likes him.

Instead, this coach crushed her soccer spirit, provided no help, very little communication, and cared more about driving his golf cart around the field. Her development meant nothing to him.
