Convention this year! Another chance to learn, see friends, expand my network, and even volunteer some time helping out with a few different things as a member of the 30 Under 30 Class this year! See you in Anaheim in ‘24 👏🏼
Getting ready to fly back home after a week at GA and ECNL summer showcases.
It’s incredible how much great soccer there is across the country.
Fantastic seeing everyone and good luck in the rest of your events!
About to board my flight to head out to Spain for a week of coaching ed. Looking forward to working with a new group of coaches and learning from some of the best in the Spanish game!
So excited for everything coming up in January! USC Premier Diploma, ECNL Florida, Convention, training starting back up at EKU, and a coaching education trip to Barcelona! Going to be really busy but a lot of fun and a lot of great chances to get better as a coach

Talk about someone who embodies every characteristic that you want the girls and young women that we work with to be able to look up to!
So proud that I get to learn from her every day and see the things she does to advocate for women in our sport!

My dad’s standing off to the side somewhere as the PR Director for the Trail Blazers at the time.
I can still hear him telling stories about this. One of the funniest ones from his Trail Blazers years. Sheed was the best 😂
Just want to throw it out there that Paige gave me this Dow High memory. Had to cover training for Erica the day after we won our first round district match. First time I’d ever ran a varsity session completely on my own and unsupervised. And this is how we started practice 🙄

! Special day, one of the coolest rivalries in college sports and to hit THREE second half goals to erase a 2-0 deficit! What a win boys!
FINAL - VMI 3, The Citadel 2 - the Keydets post their first SoCon win since 2018 and Chris Haught-Thompson earns his first conference win as head coach at VMI!
Coaching u23s this summer was one of my favorite decisions I’ve ever made. Both of the groups have been a ton of fun and being able to work with dedicated high level athletes who are willing to give up parts of their summer to get better with us is a blessing.
The last time I coached a soccer match was MARCH 7th. That was 174 days ago.
I get to coach, an actual match of soccer, in 8 days. EIGHT. FREAKIN. DAYS.
I’m absolutely buzzin and can’t wait 😍

He just understood the whole process so much more than Bruce (or any other American manager). No one capped more dual nationals than Jurgen. He wouldn’t have lost Jonathan Gonzalez or Giuseppe Rossi. Bruce couldn’t get either.
I’m a huge proponent of development first at youth level. Like everyone should play in games, training shouldn’t be 90% tactical tweaks, it should be ind dev focused. However part of development is also learning how to win: understanding tactics, game scenarios, etc

Convention was! It exceeded expectations by far!! As a first timer I was extremely lucky to have some convention vets helping along the way.

I will never understand why people do “signing” events when they’re playing D3 sports. I’m not knocking D3 sports. I love them. But do like a “celebration of your commitment” or something. You’re not signing an NLI don’t say you are 🙄
A6 - A big move, new city, new state, new coaching opportunity! Really excited to take it all on and welcome all of the new challenges and experiences that come with it!
