\u201cOur primary goal with youth soccer players is not to win games, everyone wants to win, naturally. Our goal is to connect with and fully develop every individual player that we work with. How do we do this? Love and genuine care; it’s that simple. The consequence of this approach is that our teams are generally successful anyway. It is not about winning or being at the top level of soccer, whether that be the Premier soccer league, Motsepe league or SAB, or whatever. What matters is how much everyone improves. We are not building professional teams; we are helping individual athletes both on and off the field to be the best players and people that they can be. We teach them to be respectful of opponents, to work hard, and to give 100% in every practice, game, or challenge that they take part in. Basically, we are helping young players become better people and in today\u2019s climate especially, that is of huge value.\u201d<\/p>\n-Junior Mwale, Technical Director<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
