Summer Camps

“How do you begin to describe Brad’s energy on the field? It’s difficult to describe but fantastic to experience for players and fellow coaches alike. His passion is fused with an expertise in player and leadership development as well as human performance. He engages and invests in each player and then challenges the group individually and collectively, while progressively guiding the session through a topic of emphasis. The instruction is clear, assertive and supportive so the players can optimize their development on the field. Brad excels in the final piece of this coaching formula and that is to celebrate success with the players in the moment. This reinforces good habits and supports self-confidence in the individuals. The result is a fantastic correlation between Brad’s coaching methods and the development of the total child as a soccer player and positive leader. “
