How old is impact your education or career?
In the sport of football (soccer) all other countries view the sport as the number 1 in the world, except for USA. Therefore, going abroad to enhance my education and knowledge in the sport will be invaluable to my coaching development at this time in my career.

How will you make a difference in the community?
By learning more tactics, strategies and drills from the European football clubs. I believe I will be able to enrich the development process of the players that I am involved with on a weekly basis.

Why are you passionate about this project?
I am passionate about this project because I have seen what poor coaching can do to an individual athlete. I’ve seen what it can do to a team of good athletes that are not being traught or coached properly.

Why did you choose this destination?
I chose this destination because as I mentioned before, in one of my previous answers. I pointed out that football is more ingrained in the culture and a way of life in Europe. It is the number one sport around the world except for the USA. Therefore, I will be able to learn more from the coaches that are trying to improve professional teams from the youth level to the senior level.

What makes this meaningful for you?
I honestly believe in my desire and passion to help the people from my community. I am passionate about the sport of football, and traveling to learn from coaches in Europe will help me to improve as a coach.
