- Soccer
Tom and I start by talking about his club, high school, college (CSU Fullerton), and professional soccer (LA Salsa, California Kickers) playing experience. Then we get into his experiences as a young coach working with top level players (like Leonard Griffin and Landon Donovan), developing his coaching philosophy in the North-West, helping build ECNL programs, being on the US Club Soccer board, ID2, Project 2010 with Bruce Arena, Vertical Integration and more.
More importantly, we discuss the long term vision of "shooting for the stars" with San Francisco Elite Academy, and how the goal of developing "World Class" players drives us forward every day.
