Hard work, teamwork, commitment and discipline

What excites you most about coaching in FC Ellicott City?

What excites me most about coaching at FCEC is to share my love for the game of football with the younger generation. I feel extremely grateful for the opportunities and lessons learned playing this game.

What do you hope players take away from their experience playing for your team?

My goal is to help players grow as players and as young men who will be better prepared to work as part of a team in whatever they do in the future.
