To act as an Advisor/ Consultant, utilizing my wealth of knowledge in the field of Youth and professional soccer. I believe my name is synomous with integrity and excellence thus giving the Everton Florida organization great prestige in the soccer community. My longevity at this club has shown my loyalty to the club,

I am taking the “UEFA A” license this summer, It is the top license in the world and the most respected. I will share much of what I learn with the coaches at the Raiders.  Not many youth clubs can boast a “UEFA A” Licensed Director!

Much of my time upon my return will be spent on accessing the coaching staff and helping them improve, thus short circuiting  inroads to the players.

General duties:

• To oversee the workings of the organization as a whole.  
• To recruit and review coach selection for all club teams  
• To receive monthly reports from both Recreational and Competitive DOC’s on progress made and new ideas. In return, giving back ideas to pave the way for success.
• Brainstorming innovations  
• To review proposed new curriculums for Rec and club. (These need to be produced by pertinent personnel)
• To liaison with Club president on a regular basis
• To liaison with both Rec and Club DOCS  on a regular basis.
• To be on line (Phone) for monthly Board meetings for Executives input
•  Develop a link with Overseas travel opportunities. (This is a year away) Teams need to fundraise for these trips.
• Share new ideas with club from overseas. 
• Share cutting edge training ideas with DOC and club coaches.
• Work with club teams on a pre-determined schedule.
• Analyze club coaches during sessions and help mentor them for further development.
• Host coaching clinics upon my return from Europe.

This is by far one of the most important aspects of any business and an area I am extremely well versed in and able to make those vital decisions that will further develop the Everton FloridaSoccer Club.

The position of the Director of Coaching at Everton Florida is an important decision that will require the cooperation from above, (Executive Director and BOD), and below (the coaching staff). We are in an important time of change; time in which stability is necessary. The club can develop at the right pace with the combined efforts of a DOC, Executive Director, and Recreational DOC.

The main directive of the DOC position is to provide leadership for the coaching staff, under the direction of the Executive Director. The job of the coaches is to improve the players, the job of the DOC is to improve the coaching staff… thus allowing the players to reach the zenith of their potential. Within this framework, the daily duties will involve the following:

• Select coaching slate/ trainers
