AYSO United Coach - Dave DeJong
BACKGROUND
I have been playing soccer since I was 4. Rec, AYSO, GRASA, South Christian High School and Trinity Christian College. I was an assistant at South Christian for a few years before life took over and eventually started coaching my own kids in AYSO core. After 5 years of core AYSO United was calling my name. 2019/20 was my first year of coaching a United team and I am looking forward to many more.
PHILOSOPHY
Coaching is more than wins and losses; it’s about learning and improving on our skills in every practice and game, no matter the outcome. Being able to develop my team for more than just a game.
EXPERIENCE
I have been playing since 4 years old, coaching for 8 years and coaching with AYSO United for 1.
LICENSES, CERTIFICATION & DIPLOMAS
Grassroots license
Working on getting my D license Spring 2020
SOCCER HIGHLIGHT
Being at the ’94 World Cup game in Detroit.
FAVORITE TEAM
Manchester City since late ‘90s
BEST COACHING MEMORY
Seeing any child that was just not getting it in the beginning of the year understand and grow throughout the year and be one of the standouts.
