What does it mean to represent Liverpool FC:
“It is a great honor to join this coaching staff. When I joined the Liverpool coaching group, I did not realize the development aspect of the club. As I continue to grow my coaching level, it is so rewarding to be able to help these kids develop not only their soccer skills, but mental strength also. I am excited to not only be a goalkeeper coach with the club but begin to develop into an assistant coach with specific teams and be able to pass on my knowledge of the game that has grown over the years.”
