"I hope to be the coach players trust to be patient with them and bring fun into their day."
QTSD™ RISING STAR COACH
DARION RUFFIN
PERSONAL MISSION:
I want to share my love of the game with the athletes I coach and teach them the skills they need to grow and succeed; both on and off the soccer field.
LIGHT BULB MOMENT:
For many years, I had a coach who made me comfortable being myself and allowed me to work at my own pace in developing as a player. I hope to be the coach players trust to be patient with them and bring fun into their day.
ONE THING I'D CHANGE IN SOCCER:
If I could change anything about soccer, it would be to shift how coaches look at players in higher levels of the game. Too many coaches over value a player's size, speed, and physicality more than their skill set and mentality.
