What I love about coaching for STAR
Coaching for STAR Soccer Club has not just helped develop me as a coach but also as a person. I have been able to adopt the club’s culture and philosophies towards player development in my coaching.STAR Soccer Clubs philosophies on coach development along with player development allows me to improve my ability on the training field, and in turn provide a greater level of coaching for my players.
