Rodney's true passion for the game has kept him involved in soccer in one way or
another since the age of four. Rodney's philosophy  of training and coaching is to
infuse the fundamentals of the game while maintaining a constant development in
skills and conditioning to further individualized proficiencies as both a competitor
and teammate. Rodney further believes that the quality of a player's performance and
attitude has a direct relation to the trainer, and his/her abilities. For that reason,
making it a precedence to create a training environment which entails positive
attitudes and ethical indulgence, is key in the building the foundation of a superior
program.

Rodney holds a National "D" license from the United States Soccer Federation
(USSF). Rodney is also Certified as a Personal Trainer.
