"An internship for any kid is very important — it gives you working experience. Even if you don't get paid, the experience is worthwhile."
"I learned a lot here, mostly coaching things but also about what goes into making a professional soccer team run. From a coaching point, I've learned a lot of technical little things that I'd like to use in my future career."
