"To whom this may concern I have been playing soccer since I was seven years old. I started with Saint Oliver's soccer and Creekside's recreational program. I've had many coaches during my development, including my own father, who coached me until 16 years of age. I have very little club experience, but i did play varsity soccer all throughout high school. Manny Silvano was my high-school coach and he selected me to play RPL I believe and I only ever played 9 official showcase games. After high school, I decided to start coaching while continuing to play in adult soccer leagues. This is where I met coach Fred. I knew him as a referee at creekside, and the reason he held his position was because of his knowledge and experience of the game. In addition, he coached an adult team in the Wednesday night league at Creekside. That's where I truly began to understand Fred's teachings. Somehow, someway, he started to give me advice on how to improve my coaching. Fred is very sharp, attentive, and detailed. One of the very first things that stood out to me was a lesson he taught me. This was to respect the game. I was coaching a team and during half time, I instructed my team to go directly to goal. Since the goal keeper, in my words "was trash". My competitive nature overpowered my ability to instill the correct message into my youth team. After hearing this, Fred pulled me to the side and told me to never say something like that again. He defended an opposing player because they were all there to learn. Ever since then, I began to seek his guidance. Fred watched me play, and I would ask him how I played. To this day he's my mentor. When we used to work together, we would sit together for hours and watch other teams play, and we would exchange ideas and thoughts about the teams in our division. He was watching me grow every day as a player, a coach, and a human being. Every time I encountered Fred, Id always ask him a dozen questions, and he'd sit with me and teach me so many things about soccer. I would go into work early, and stay until close, just so I could learn from Fred. He's seen me grow from a recreational coach, to club coach, to now, an independent soccer trainer and businessman. His teachings are profound, he see's and knows everything, I've never seen anything like it. He is able to simplify things to such a degree and it shows how knowledgeable he really is. He is the grandfather of coaches within my residential area. Everyone knows fred, and he's coached everyone! Currently I am a starter for his team, and I became his understudy. My curiosity and interests peaks when Im around coach Fred and although my questions never end, his knowledge is beyond that. He has a special and unique way of coaching, sometimes I wonder how far i could have gone if I had met Fred earlier, but to this day, I try and learn from as much as I can from Fred. Coach Fred has made a positive impact in my life, and many others. Mostly everything I know about the game now is all thanks to him!
