Start in soccer:
As a youth, living in Poland, soccer is what we did before, during, and after school. It was during the 1982 World Cup that I fell in love with the game. And it has been my passion ever since.
Inspiration to coach:
My wife made me (asked me to) coach for Plum area soccer when my son was young. I enjoyed the experience and never stopped.
Favorite part of coaching soccer:
Games are always fun but I enjoy seeing young players develop and seeing the improvement from one season to next.
Favorite player/team:
Current player- Ronaldo-(POR)- one in a life time player
Past player-Ronaldinho-(BRZ)- magician with the ball
Team- Real Madrid
When not coaching soccer:
I enjoy working out and watching college football.
