Bio

Kevin brings a wealth of experience to DUSC. Kevin won Ivy League titles as coach in Columbia University’s women’s and men’s programs and was selected for a NSCAA Coach of Year Award. He serves on the NY Leadership Council for the  United States Soccer Foundation and was a Founding Director of Next Gen USA and the NYC Soccer Academy. A sought after speaker, Kevin has lectured at many NYC schools including Columbia, Brooklyn College, Fordham Business School and has appeared on ESPN, Sirius FM and CNN to discuss the state of American Soccer and youth development.

“Manhattan has been my home for over 30 years and I have navigated the NYC soccer scene as a player, coach, board member, volunteer and parent.  DUSC is already a model for holistic and inclusive player development in NYC so I am excited to be involved in supporting and growing the progressive platform of programs that DUSC operates. I am passionate about bringing my value-based approach to DUSC and my initial goal is to build on the strong and positive soccer developmental experience for all the DUSC stakeholders: players, parents, coaches and employees.”

A good coach is one who helps his players maximize or discover their potential. That is his principal function.
