Becoming a member of the University of Michigan's coaching staff is an honor. The pride and professionalism here is awesome. I feel that I'm very fortunate to be involved with the launching of men's varsity soccer. When you get right down to the bottom of it, I can't think of a better place to be. With soccer booming at the youth level, this institution will now serve as the Mayflower to the new millennium for high achieving soccer athletes.
People are always trying to discover new things, be the first at something.
Let's face it, It's not every day you get to be a part of something that has never been done before. I first read Bo Schembechler's book in 1989, my third year as a high school soccer coach. Now over 10 years later I usher similar words to many of the recruits who would dare select us in our infancy. Those who come will be Champions. It's an honor to be associated with a university of this reputation in athletics as well as academics.
