Jeff is the Chief Financial Officer of an employee-owned medical communications company in Columbia. Jeff is also the father of 5 children ranging in age from 9 to 22. He began his coaching career when he got an 11th hour call from a recreation level soccer coordinator saying that his daughter’s soccer team would have to be dispersed among other teams due to the lack of a coach. Since that day, Jeff has answered the call by head and assistant coaching 15 basketball teams, 7 lacrosse teams and 9 soccer teams at both the recreation and travel levels. He has developed his soccer coaching philosophy by being on the coaching sidelines and in the stands as his children have collectively played over 65 seasons of travel and high school soccer.
Jeff’s coaching philosophy is based on the goal that he wants every player who plays for him, in any sport, to develop a love for the game and to enjoy playing the sport at a high level so that they will be playing through high school, college and beyond. In order to do that, the practices and games must be fun, above all else. Kids love to compete at almost anything, so practices should be series of fast paced small sided competitions, with an emphasis on maximizing touches, effort and decision making. In summary Jeff coaches because he believes that sports’ lessons of teamwork, dependability, leadership, hard but fair play, handling adversity and sportsmanship will carry his players to success in life, work and play throughout their lives.
