Coaching Philosophy:
I believe in the mental side of the game. I try to coach through motivation and pushing each individual player to their full potential. I try to explain the mental side of what they may be going through in game situations and practice situations so that they have the confidence to accomplish what they need to do. Ultimately I believe in having fun and encouraging players to push themselves further than they think they are capable of accomplishing. I hope that all my players enjoy playing the game as much as I did when I was their age and I would count myself a good coach if I keep their passion for the game going.

What Makes Shadow Unique?
Goalkeeper Training Sessions
We are excited to have Rich Cullen working with our goalkeepers. He brings a wealth of successful goalkeeping experience from Mead High School to the Airforce Academy (as a player and a coach) to Major League Soccer. There has been no other goalkeeper to come from Spokane that has had this much success. More importantly, he is now able to impart that knowledge and experience through excellent teaching methods and insights. We are lucky to have him!
All club goalkeepers are expected to be at the Goalkeeper session designated for them, unless cleared with their team coach. Take advantage of this excellent service!
A link to the training sessions will be available soon...stay tuned!
