Really excited to share that I successfully passed my UEFA B course last month. This has been an ambition of mine for a really long time and I’m really grateful to
@FAWCoachEd
for creating this international pathway. All for the Gators so we can keep developing our players 🐊🧡💙
As we rebuild the program there is always the temptation to fast forward the process. We’re all competitive & we all want to win right now.
But here it will always be about the right culture & the right people first. Success will simply be the byproduct.
#StudentPersonPlayer
That’s a wrap for the

for me. Home to Gainesville to help move in the 2023 Gators, book official visit flights for the 2025 Gators, and most importantly hug my beautiful family

Toughest part of the job is leaving players behind on road trips. But look at the care and energy of the ones who couldn’t travel. Every player all in, committed to the team 🧡💙

Gutted that our season came to an end last week. I know once the dust settles there will be nothing but positives - growth in every measurable area - but I really loved being a part of this team and none of us were ready to be done. What is undeniable - the Gators are coming!🐊🧡
One thing I think players underestimate is how much they mean to their coaches. I have kept EVERY note a player has ever given me (down to sticky notes). This one here is 7 yrs old, but it remains so meaningful & a great reminder to me that relationships are why I do what I do 🥹
‼️ Just a reminder to 2025s, NCAA doesn’t allow coaches to have off campus contact with you until Aug 1. So, please understand when we can’t chat when we see you (or parents) at these tournaments! ‼️
My 8 year old has his first travel soccer tournament today so on the opposite sideline today - hey
@CoachSoderling
, how would you rate my soccer dad vibe?! Am I doing it right??
Year 1️⃣ to year 2️⃣:
More wins ↗️
More goals ↗️
More shutouts ↗️
There’s a special story being written in Gainesville by a team playing for something bigger than themselves. We’re on the lookout for future 🐊’s who want to be part of helping write it.

A 3.58 team GPA. At a top-5 University. Exceptional work from our exceptional young women!
The thing I enjoy the most about coaching is the opportunity to motivate and inspire people to reach levels they didn’t know were in them. For some, these kinds of things are gimmicky. For me, it might help make that 1% difference

☺️Reflecting on the drive home, I’m so proud of how relentlessly hard everyone in this program has worked for the last 10 months. The Gators are coming, & I can’t wait until June 15 to talk to the next class of Gator Greats 🐊

Had a thought while praying today that I could not be more thankful for the life God has given me, and that I could not possibly have asked Him for more.
Then the realization that He loves me so much He wants to give me more. Abundantly more. Immeasurably more.

Last night’s win had been coming. When results aren’t going your way as a coach you ask if your team is still fighting, still listening, still together. That has NEVER been in question with this Gator team. When you fight together like this, winning is inevitable

Recruits:
You don’t realize that some of those lovely packages you are receiving prior to June 15th from D1’s could be going against what is permissible in NCAA bylaw 13.4.1 and 13.4.1.1
So posting those pictures on social media could inadvertently put your recruitment in

Been absolutely overwhelmed by all the kind messages regarding my family’s move to join
@GatorsSoccer

Has helped me to realize you don’t define your career by the quality of your results, but by the quality of your relationships.
It’s typically GKs who find themselves having to make crunching 1-on-1 saves because the law prevents ARs from raising their flags for a clear offside. Now Mings tears an ACL making an action he didn’t need to because Isak is offside. Laws made by people who don’t play the game.
Here at Florida we will support and educate you on the NIL process, and have a full time NIL Coordinator in

On days where

✅ Remembering my good jokes
❌ Forgetting my inappropriate jokes

(Pictured:

& Soph not getting one of my funniest jokes)
We would love to see you in Gainesville at one of these events!
We deliberately keep numbers low so that it is a true ID event.
Several commits in our 2024 and 2025 classes attended an ID camp with us.
