As a former accomplished goalkeeper himself at Texas Wesleyan (earning a 2nd-team All-RRAC selection in 2002) and recognized nationally as an Honorable Mention NAIA All-American at Huron University, Coach Josh possesses an intrinsic understanding of the position.
The depth of Coach Josh's experience, from nurturing young talent at the club level to building a championship-winning collegiate program and coaching with a professional organization like FC Dallas, makes him an invaluable asset to BTX Valor FC. We are incredibly lucky to have his dedication and expertise shaping the future of our goalkeepers!
