We're thrilled to introduce the dedicated force behind the 2016 Girls Blue team at Davie United Sharks – Coach Mike Scandizzo! With a coaching journey spanning an impressive 14 years, Mike's story began when his daughter stepped into the world of competitive soccer. Recognizing a need for youth coaches, Mike embraced the opportunity not only to guide his daughter's team but also to inspire a generation of young athletes.
Over the years, Mike's dedication has remained unwavering, fostering his passion for the game and his commitment to the growth of his players. A seasoned coach, Mike has been shaping young minds for a remarkable nine years at Davie United.
What sets Davie United apart for Mike? It's the unshakable support, integrity, & a sense of family that encapsulate the club's essence.
With a deep belief in personal development, Mike has equipped himself with FYSA coaching credentials, delving into the psychology of team dynamics. He recognizes that every player is a unique piece of the puzzle, responding differently to coaching, criticism, & learning methods. This insight has driven his coaching philosophy, nurturing both individual growth & collective team success.
As Mike reflects on his journey, he finds his greatest achievements not in personal accolades but in the success stories of his players. His focus on nurturing young athletes, particularly those aged 8-12, has led to a remarkable track record of players who have embraced the "never quit" attitude & are now thriving in college or as exceptional young adults.
Beyond the pitch, Mike's coaching philosophy aligns with essential life skills. "Never, Ever Quit" stands as a foundation, followed by the mantra of controlling the controllables. By concentrating on self, teammates, style of play, energy, effort, & focus, players develop habits that extend far beyond soccer, influencing success in every facet of life.
Join us in celebrating Coach Mike dedication & love for the game, as he guides our young talents toward success, both as athletes & individuals. Let's make the upcoming season one filled with growth, resilience, & unforgettable memories!
