Directors


Matt Couch
    Although I played many sports growing up, soccer was always my primary focus.  I was fortunate to travel the world as a youth player and am now fortunate to combine my 2 greatest passions for my career - soccer and teaching.  I thrive on players who bring intensity to training sessions.  No matter your age or level, if you have the energy and desire to improve then I will help you fulfill your potential.  I have experienced probably all of the ups and downs a player can have in their career and I enjoy sharing what I've learned with the players I train so that their soccer path can be well-guided for success.  My advice to players is - Always cultivate strong relationships with teammates and coaches because the relationships in your playing career are invaluable and could be beneficial in the future, whether or not you go on to higher levels of competition.
