Richard Honshtein Jr.

Richard holds a National "C" License. Richard served in the Marine Corps Reserves and received an honorable discharge in 1997.

Richard's Coaching Philosophy: My goal is to make soccer fun for all children. I strongly believe that if children are having fun they are learning to play the game. What a person gets from soccer is based on what they put into it. If you don't train hard and regularly and have soccer in your heart, you will not succeed in this or any other sport. My goal is to help children fall in love with soccer and make it a lifestyle, the way I have. I am not here to win; I am here to teach. I am totally committed to teaching kids the game of soccer and helping them be successful in life |

My Coaching Philosophy: I believe It is important to foster an environment that is both fun and extremely competitive as in my experience this is the best learning environment. In my opinion Soccer is about working within your own limits while simultaneously keeping in rhythm with your teammates. I believe strong technical skills are the backbone for accuracy and consistency in play, and therefore technique is a big part of my sessions. As a trainer, I will challenge the players to solve a challenge on the field, as I feel this best prepares them to be confident decision makers both in sports and life. I enjoy coaching soccer and look forward to working with your upcoming superstar! |
