What’s the most rewarding thing about coaching youth soccer? I am passionate about soccer. I love to play it, coach it, and watch it. Although I never played on a competitive level at high school or college, I have always loved the sport and I believe it is a game that everyone can play at some level and enjoy. My greatest reward in coaching youth soccer is when I can see that I have helped to ignite a child's passion for the game.

Interests outside of coaching soccer: Raising my children, aged 15, 13, 9, and a new arrival September 2010; and Buckeye football.
