I love this guy. By being himself he is teaching all of us the most valuable lesson in how to be a top coach: .BE HUMAN. Hug. Show emotion. Be compassionate. Be Demanding. Make mistakes. Admit to mistakes. Say sorry. To be a top coach, be a top human. Its easier said than done.

Football is harsh. Today we played 70 mins with 10 men at high altitude & we were incredible, controlled the game. Congrats to RM, but these games deserve to be played 11v11. Next season starts now. The 🚂 isn’t stopping, in fact, we are picking up steam & won’t be slowing down.

This community has shown me what being an El Pasoan really means. I’m leaving a better coach & person because of what you have given me, not because of what I have given you. You deserved the success, and you deserve much more in the future. You will all stay with me forever.

I have been quiet on here this year, purposely letting our ⚽️ do the talking. But the team deserve huge credit on this one. We want a 🏆more than anything, but our way of playing & winning over a long period deserves to be recognized far & wide (currently 2 losses in 35 games).
Our 20-Game Home Unbeaten streak is the longest running home streak in 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 😤. This team is 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁. 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹. #VamosLocos #VamosElPaso

Still processing today. It’s been emotional & I’m not really sure what to say. Haven’t been here long, but 1 thing is true, El Pasoans are strong. If any community can overcome this, this one can. We all have a responsibility, more than ever, to make a positive impact.

Third year in the post season & this group is hungrier than ever. We understand what we need to do, it won’t be easy, but nothing worth doing ever was. Tonight we fight for El Paso & for each other. El Paso, fill the SWUP & make this the loudest night ever!.

I don’t have any words for this. I’m not hurting for myself, personally I can accept this and carry the burden, but I’m hurting and sick to my stomach for my players. Absolute sick. They all deserve more. No hay palabras.

X.Everyone in El Paso should know what that X means now. I’m so happy for this City. I’m so happy for this front office. I’m so happy for these fans. But most of all I’m so happy for our players. I want them to enjoy this and prepare for what’s next.

Hey @8thNotchEP. You gave me everything. I could stay 100 years & never get close to repaying the love & support you have given me. A Club is nothing without the fans & you have made this Club what it is. It was an honor to serve you. I’m an 8th notcher till I die.

Winning requires character. The performance wasn’t our best, but I have never been prouder of these men. At the end of the 120 mins, I asked who wants to take a pen, every player volunteered. Who wants to take first, every player volunteered. Absolute Mentality monsters.

These players! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. This streak is all about them. The pressure is on me not to mess it up, because these guys are beyond incredible. I’m in awe of them and I’m going to do everything in my power so they get the rewards & recognition they deserve. Love them!.

GKs can’t be neglected when trying to implement positional play & possession. This is how we use ours to effect the opposition:.-play high .-be patient on the ball.-allow players to move into position.-see spaces develop.-quality of pass. This takes work & big balls. Beautiful!

A glimpse at some of the ⚽️ we played v DC United. Positional play, movement to create overloads, ball circulated with composure and patience. We enjoy our style and we take pride in the process of perfecting it. “We pass the ball to move the opposition”

The accomplishments of this team speak for themselves. The achievements, the style of play, the approach to every single day. Every player that has worn the loco jersey understands. We do it for each other & we will do it again next season. You can’t stop what won’t stop.

In my experience of losing some big games, I have learnt that the most important thing in ⚽️ is how we act in those moments. Its the hardest thing 2 do, but it shows the true measure of a man. @TroyLesesne @PT4747 u r both class acts. Results are temporary. Actions echo forever.

It wasn’t the same last night without the stands full of the Loco faithful. But our men put in an incredible amount of work. The intensity, team work and passion was on full display, I hope you could feel our energy from the safety of your homes. We miss you El Paso.

We won tonight because of the players. Simple. We had a plan. We changed it at H/T. But the players won the game. The heart. The desire. The love for one another. They are the inspiration. They are why we have a team that we can still be proud of. I LOVE every one of them.

I’m not a Liverpool fan, but I love everything about this team. The energy & intensity they play with, the enthusiasm to run for each other every game. I’m in complete awe of them. I could watch them play all day. Klopp has built a beautiful, relentless machine. Deserved champs.

One of my proudest moments as a coach was last night. We love beautiful ⚽️ but we also love grit, discipline & desire. In that weather, 2 delays & against a very good team, the concentration & defensive discipline was off the charts. The players were incredible.

El Paso, lets fill our stadium next Saturday. We wear the @eplocomotivefc jersey with pride & bring it back home next Sat against LA, lets keep this train rolling together. Bring the noise with @8thNotchEP & let’s do this. Remember, it’s El Paso against the 🌎. Vamos juntos.

There were many reasons why I believed El Paso was the right place 4 me, the potential of this Club & City is huge. But our close relationship with FC Juárez in Ascencio MX, makes us unique & provides me opportunities to learn from a different culture and country.

I run out of things to say about this young man. Seeing Chapa develop everyday thru his desire & work ethic is an honor. He never cuts corners. Never puts himself before the team. These achievements mean more to me than any win ever will. Can’t think of anyone more deserving.
With a stand out performance on Saturday, Chapa earns himself a spot on USL Team of the Week! 👏.

Tonight hurt, but let’s be objective. We have navigated 6 games in 18 days with essentially 13 available outfield players. What these men have done recently is nothing short of remarkable. We are division champions. Be proud. We get healthy, and we move forward. #vamoslocos.

All season I thought that I was the one guiding & teaching them, but all along, it’s been these men that have been guiding & teaching me. They have taught me more about myself, life & the game than I can ever give back to them. A truly wonderful group of men.

I need to shout out my captain, Chiro N’Toko. Consistently above 90% pass completion, captained an expansion team to a conf final & marshaled the joint best defense in the West. He makes the game look easy. A top CB with composure for days.

The calm before the storm. 27 young men, some from around the country, some from our community, ready to leave it all on the field. Absolutely love giving people an opportunity. This game is about changing lives, it’s what gives the most satisfaction. #invitationaltryouts

It’s you that I should be thanking. You have been the 1 constant all season. Thru thick & thin you have been there to support us, love us & to give us a kick when we/I needed it most. You remind me why we do this. The club has its heart back & thats the most important thing.

Sunday night as a whole wasn’t perfect. It was about winning. Advancing. But this 22 pass move for our first goal, the patience, purpose & quality, gave us a moment of perfection to be proud of. These moments make the process all worth while.

Another clip from last week v DC. This is our identity. Possession with purpose, positional superiority, breaking lines, playing in half spaces. Then hunting to win the ball back. Positional Play: being in position to press & win the ball back quickly.

Beginning to feel an energy around the club. It’s palpable. The lads desire & purpose the other night was top class. The will to win was incredible. That hunger can take us far. 4 unbeaten, but we can’t settle now. Foot to floor, we keep working. #indyforever #eleventogether.

Thanks to all the fans, @8thNotchEP, & @eplocomotivefc front office for last night. The players were quality, controlled the game & didn’t deserve to be on the losing end. Another day & it’s 3-1 to us. Huge positive signs. Some of the football we played was incredible.

5 games in 14 days & I couldn’t be happier with how the players are developing together. A lot of information & details go into how we play, it’s demanding mentally & physically. The lads have been open minded & attitudes have been 1st class. They make me proud every day. 💙💛🚂.

Great effort tonight. We asked for a clean sheet & the boys did it. I’m loving watching us attack this season; the movement, quick play & clinical passing gave us another wonderful goal as a reward. I’m excited for this team. Can’t ask for more. #Teamfirst mindset.

We have an identity to how we play. My teams play a certain way, if you have played for me or against me, you know what that is. As a coach & as a human being, all we have in life & the game is our belief system & core principles. Stand by them & never let anyone take that away.

3 points at home feels good. The guys did everything we asked, we came out flying & the first 45 was brilliant, deserved more goals. We have stuff to improve in the 2nd half, but a clean sheet, grit & determination saw the game thru. Stadium was electric as always. #crazytrain.

Congrats to @orangecountysc for being Western Conference regular season champions. Surprised a bigger deal hasn’t been made about this. It’s a great achievement, one that will be a priority for us. Consistency over 34 games is harder than winning a one off playoff game.

When we signed Brian, I said we would have fun with how we build our possession. Here are 3 ways we use our GK in our PP. We may have dropped down a league this season, but we are at the forefront of innovation & evolution of the game. Will post a clip tomorrow.

Want to elaborate on this. We don’t have starters/non starters. We have a group of energy givers & game changers, 1-22. These guys are top class, whether its minute 1 or minute 91. Leandro is a leader & an incredible pro. One of the best in the business. Mucho respeto Carri.
Leandro Carrijó might not be a starter for @EPLocomotiveFC, but head coach Mark Lowry believes he’s playing one of the most important roles off the bench: the equalizer. #KTSM9Sports .

And I’m not retweeting this because I love the Beckies. I retweet because of the class, poise & character she displays in this incredibly tough moment. Kicking a ball doesn’t define who you are, but this 100% does. Absolute Role model. Be proud of her @CanadaSoccerEN.
I don’t retweet this because she’s my sister. I retweet because of what she says and how she responds, you want a textbook response to when something negative happens. Watch this 👇🏻.

The soccer media need more people like Carl, a tactical eye for the game & an ability to see past the score line as the only measurement of what a good team is. We played great ⚽️ in this game & created tons of chances. We don’t always win. PHX are a great team also. That’s ⚽️!.
So many positional play principles from @eplocomotivefc from Saturday’s match against @PHXRisingFC. Most of these come from like 3 minutes of play. Impressive stuff from @CoachMarkLowry and @mattdubs17. A centre-back dribbling an opponent before breaking lines? Absolutely
