First, heads up for next month: there will be no training the week of March 16–19. I’ll be in a full-day, in-person C License course that week. Now for today: We are ON. Rain or not, we train. Tryouts are coming, and this is not the time to get comfortable or start missing work. Today needs full focus and real intensity. Come prepared. There is a chance of light rain so bring a hoodie, jacket, or whatever you need to stay warm between reps. Once we step on the field, the tempo stays high. Show up ready to compete and ready to improve.

1st Goal of the Year!! 🔥🔥

Sharing with everyone this incredible goal from yesterday. Im gaining more experience as a striker on the field and gaining knowledge from Coach @Jessie Echeverria during training and during the Wednesday night calls when he goes through our games. Review. Learn. Apply.

Parents & Players, I just shared a PDF in the community that breaks down exactly what U.S. Soccer expects from players in each position. This is not opinions. This is the real framework used at higher levels. Parents, I strongly encourage you to sit down with your child and go through this together. Why this matters: - Too many players say “I play midfield” or “I’m a striker” but don’t actually know what that role demands - Development gets sloppy when players train random skills instead of position-specific qualities - This document shows the technical, mental, physical, and tactical traits your child should be building based on where they play What players should do: - Find your primary position - Read the traits carefully - Ask yourself honestly:“Which of these am I strong at?”“Which of these am I missing?” This is how we train smarter.This is how gaps get exposed.This is how real improvement starts. We’ll be using these qualities as a reference point moving forward in training, evaluations, and development conversations. If your child doesn’t know what their position truly requires, they’re already behind. This PDF fixes that. Coach Jessie
