I’m the head coach of LA Galaxy South Bay, coaching Boys U10 and U11 and Girls U17 and, from the time I started, I told them that I wasn’t going to teach them soccer; we were going to be playing football.
There’s a difference. There’s a difference in attitude, the way people move on the ball, the way people move off the ball, the way you kick, the way you act, the way you talk…
One thing this city has over pretty much all of the others is its diversity of people. I’m from Jamaica, and on our coaching staff, there are only a few Americans: everyone else is from somewhere else.
