Santa Barbara, California - Vienna, Austria
Football
Euro Bowl XX

Coaching Mission:

My mission is to develop great football players with sound technique, a high level of confidence, self-esteem and outstanding personality. I teach my players to pay attention to detail and the importance of assignments. Most of my players are highly motivated and strongly believe in sportsmanship, respecting their opponents and team effort. With each and every down, they play with pride, heart and a lot of intensity. I make sure each player is treated with respect and grows in a stress free environment; having fun playing a competitive sport is a priority. I encourage my players to make smart decisions on and off the football field.


I focus on:

- Hard work
- Preparation (game planning)
- Adjusting to opponents
- Attention to detail
- Using different personnel and schemes
- Disguising
- Setting goals
- Leading by example
