Best Coaching Memory:

In the finals at Surf Cup (2016) my EFC Red team gave up a goal in the 88th min of the finals to go down 0-1. In the last seconds of extra time my team scored the equalizer when our opponents were celebrating on the sideline. In following OT one of my defenders was red carded and we were forced to play a player down in 95 degree weather. The group could have easily lost the momentum we had created in the end of regulation. Instead we responded to the adversity and played better down a player than we had at any point in regulation. We scored with less than 4 mins left in the 2nd OT and carried the Championship Trophy home with incredible pride!

Player Expectations/Advice:

Be open to coaching! Bring passion to everything you do as a player & be fully engaged! Be 100% dedicated to your development; be in charge of your mindset and play to have zero regrets!
