Very few things in life have given me as much joy and fulfillment as coaching soccer. I've always been into tactics and had great leadership qualities as a player so a lot of my peers always believed I'd end up being a coach eventually. Our youth soccer system here in Murica needs a strong grassroots foundation & education if we ever want to be a global force at the sport.

I started off volunteering as an assistant for my former high school last fall and it was a nice start to get to know the ropes of managing a group of kids and to get some solid experience. This spring I went solo and led a U-13 travel team to a league title, it was amazing seeing how my group progressed as players throughout the season. In the summer I took over my old premier travel team that I played for (once again U-13) and I was blessed with an extraordinary group of kids. After a near flawless season we went to the state finals and won the big prize, that s--- was something I'll never forget for the rest of my life.

One thing I'll always advise anyone taking up a position as a coach is that you gotta be truly in love with your respective sport, it transmits to your group that you do care and want to take things to the next level.

In high school I got to help the basketball coaches and give my input because I couldn't play. Basically I sat with them on the bench and practiced with them. I loved it. Made me miss the game so much tho.

Thinking about coaching flag football next summer. Not a bad job. Gonna make those little f---ers run.

Something like "keep up the rebounding, and keep looking for the open man!"

All my years of NBA2K went out of the window. s--- was meant to prepare me for this s--- but instead I flopped. So unclutch.

My 8th grade football coach was Vince Vaughn's uncle and he was the funniest f---ing guy ever. I remember on the way back from a game on the bus he told one of my friends this, "If you don't shut the f--- up I will kick you off the g.d. bus myself"

He was in his 70's, pronounced everyone's names wrong all season. He told one of our linemen he looked like a beached whale, we were running a drill and told 3 kids that they looked like they were having an orgy and that if they wanted that they should have called his sister. Was a fun year having him as asst. coach.

Anyway, I have never coached but in my opinion there is only so much you can do for younger age groups in sports. More about learning the game and having fun
