For my teams, we look for coachable players who are constantly striving for improvement. I am looking to develop individual player skills, tactical awareness, and confidence in themselves and in the team. My players need to be committed to practice during the week and learn the discipline to train at home, working to perfect what we work on at practice.

During the Fall of 2008, the River Plate 2000 boys team was in the Dallas Morning News for winning the PSA Championship, beating an undefeated team in the Academy division after going undefeated in the recreational division.
