As a grassroots coach, I'm simply a dad of a football player who stepped up when others chose not to. While I may not go down in history as one of the greatest technical coaches of my era, I hope to be remembered as someone who provided every child with an opportunity.
I aimed to help kids enjoy the game and find something positive to take away from every match, regardless of the outcome or their performance. At the same time, I sought to gently encourage them to become better players, teammates, and individuals each week, using my knowledge of the game to guide them.
No coach is perfect, and I've certainly made my fair share of mistakes and have some regrets. However, I wish to be remembered for the moments when I got it right and made a positive impact on the lives of my players.
