 Coach Dean Slaughter |
A holder of FA, UEFA, USSF and NSCAA coaching qualifications, Dean joined SONESOCCER with experience coaching many levels of the game in both Europe & United States. A former academy and development academy coach at professional club Wycombe Wanderers in England, where he helped a number of players develop into full-time professional, Dean has been coaching soccer for eight years - the last three in Northern New Jersey. Dean’s education includes the study of Sport Science, including sports psychology, bio-mechanics, and fitness training methods, which led to his initial employment as a personal fitness trainer, another perspective he can offer his teams.
"I have worked in and around the New Jersey area for the past 4 years," says Dean "and realize the potential that exists here to really make a difference. I am committed to pushing players to meet their full potential, and SONESOCCER has given me this chance not just to push the talented to be best but to push the best to be even better."
Dean also serves as the assistant coach to both the highly competitive STA Crush, and the Millburn High School Varsity girls soccer team, helping them to an Essex County Championship in 2009. |
