Welcome to Northern Elite Arsenal 2011 Boys!

Brian has been involved in coaching both at the club and recreation level for over 5 years.  As a coach Brian strives to not only teach the fundamentals of the game, but to build upon those skills to make well-rounded soccer players.  Building teamwork among his players, vision, and awareness of the game are several of the focal points the team works on while they grow and develop together.  Most importantly, Brian hopes everyone’s love, appreciation, and enjoyment of this beautiful game grow while they are playing together. 

Brian is an experienced soccer player - playing competitively from an early age straight through high school. Brian played most of his career as a defensive midfielder. Through his career, he was a team captain achieving honors such as making all county teams.  

This is Brian’s 3rd year on the coaching staff at Northern Elite and his 2nd year as Head Coach.   Brian’s coaching philosophy is simple - work hard, develop individual skills, play as a team, and have fun.
