"Soccer is about the moments, not the outcome. In a player's soccer journey, there are a million moments, some to celebrate and some to learn from. Coaching to me is more than teaching someone how to play...it's showing girls how to live...grow despite adversity...celebrate in the face of disappointment...play hard no matter what. If you play for the moment, you'll never miss an opportunity."

"It is important to me that both science and my practical and personal experience can stand up well to the motto “as many as possible, for as long as possible, in the best environment possible”. With regard to soccer even during the early teenage years, we cannot predict who is going to be the best. Many things start to happen and it is not until after 20 years of age do we find out who has survived the journey to elite level. That is ten years, plus the glorious years of child football!"
