Player Expectations/Advice:
Everybody wants/expects to become the best but who is really willing to do what it takes?  More technical work at home, more days a week. Ball mastery moves the focus from having to think about your feet, to creating and out witting opponents playing at game speed. Growing up my neighborhood knew me ...and my soccer ball! (I seem to remember some American Express ribbing from some parents)

We offer as much or more training hrs per week as anywhere and it's not enough touches ! 
To be the best you must emulate the best, and I assure you they didn't get there by doing the minimum.

Favorite Motivational Quotes:
"Look to do more! Not less!"
