Hopefully this will bring a little positive note to your timeline. Last night my wife and I welcomed our little son into this world, Mateo Edward De La Cruz.
A set of drills and game ideas is not a methodology.
Since working with clubs at APFC, we've seen this distinction is often missing.
Methodology answers three essential questions: why, how, and when.
As you watch Aaron Rai in the PGA Championship, you might notice he uses iron covers for his clubs and wears two gloves — two habits often viewed as golf faux pas. But both are actually inspiring.
Rai grew up in a working-class family in England, where his father sacrificed heavily to support his golf career. When Aaron got an expensive set of irons as a kid, his dad would clean every groove with a pin and baby oil after practice because the clubs meant that much to them. The iron covers became a reminder to appreciate what you have.
And the two gloves? Rai started wearing them as a kid during cold-weather golf in England and eventually became so comfortable with the feel that he never stopped.
Not gimmicks. Just gratitude… and comfort.

Hire someone from the USA 🇺🇸 that cares about soccer in the US, understands our issues and has a long term vision.
Guys like Tab Ramos, Hugo Perez as examples.
