I am very blessed to work for such a prestigious club and excited to accept this role in our boys academy program. We have not only a special academy on the boys side but strong leadership that has allowed me to develop as a coach and overall leader for my teams. I will continue to provide the most I can to help this club continue its destined growth, while providing to the best of my abilities, an environment for our players to continue their growth and development not only as players but as young men. I am fortunate to have many mentors like Tom who have helped me continue my growth as a coach and this next step will be an exciting one! – John Lucero
