DOC since 2008 NSCAA Licensed USSF Licensed ODP Head Coach Former High School & College Coach http://www.coastalunited.com/ Coastal United Soccer Association 403-B Airport Road New Bern, North Carolina 28560 d o c @ c o a s t a l u n i t e d . c o m DOC - Coastal United My week schedule in the Youth Academy consists of developing and implementing a player development curriculum for our current Academy Players, sending training session emails to the coaching staff, and sending play date planning and weekend re-cap emails to parents. During the week I run and coordinate sessions and I am in constant communication with coaches, parents, and other staff to make sure things are running smoothly. Saturday’s are spent on the fields either coaching, assisting, or watching games. While I was in college, I had the opportunity to coach at a local High School and found a new way to be involved in the game as my playing career was coming to an end. I made the decision to further myself as a coach through coaching education, found coaching mentors, and developed a network of colleagues to share ideas and philosophies of coaching. My goal became to develop myself as a coach to impact my players by the best possible coaching/teaching. Ronaldinho....he is and was it for me.... A master of ball manipulation…every game he played was exciting and I watched intensely waiting to see what he did next in the game. Off the field he was a kind person and always had a smile on his face. Our goal is to offer soccer programs for all stages and ages of youth players. We see how sports can be a positive force in developing quality individuals not just soccer players. We encourage all of our members to focus on the process of development not just the end result. As a smaller club we have a unique opportunity to connect with families as a whole.
