COACH’S STORY:
“Soccer has been an important part of my life since I can remember. While my passion for the sport itself is something that continues to grow, soccer has provided countless friendships, lessons, character tests, and joy throughout my life. I genuinely believe that the sport of soccer can be a vehicle to deliver essential life lessons, and there is no better example of the proliferation of knowledge about HIV, AIDS, and safe sex than that of GRS. My goal is to combine my passion for the sport with that of GRS to help make a difference wherever soccer is played.”
