Dear Athletes and Parents,

My primary goal as a coach is to instill a love of the game of soccer in your child.  My focus at training session and games will always encompass team development and team unity, but the individual player improvement as an athlete and a person is equally important.  Each girl is unique, with different personalities, special abilities, and varies in the way she problem solves.  With this in mind, I strive to coach in a way that challenges each girl and allows them to improve in their individual techniques as well as develop their team skills and bond as a group, in a fun and positive manner.

In addition to the development of your child’s soccer skills, I believe in focusing on her character development as well.  Learning to win and lose with grace and integrity, discovering the sense of self confidence that comes from meeting challenges and conquering weaknesses, and realizing that a positive mindset is the first step to success in any endeavor are just a few of the life lessons that I hope to instill in the girls, by instruction and example, as they develop into young adults. 

I look forward to working with your daughters.

Sincerely,

Diane Gold
