Comments on BFC

One of my favorite quotes is, “Change is inevitable, but growth is optional”. I think this sums up best with what is happening with football in Burnaby. With all the resources here in Burnaby combined with the amazing group of players and their families, it is a privilege to be involved in their pathway and to support their growth, as well as the growth of the club. Working with players, families and my fellow coaches is exciting and inspiring to me because we are all on one united front working towards a common goal, while being led by a professional and experienced leadership team.
