We are excited to launch our new Coach Spotlight series this season! Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing a closer look at the dedicated staff driving development across our Select teams!
🔆Coach Spotlight: Dan Frosch
Q: What is your earliest or favorite memory of falling in love with soccer?
A: Playing in the legendary pickup soccer games in Riverside Park, New York City as a kid. It was the way I learned about the world, through adults and kids from different countries who gathered each day to play pickup. I ended up writing my college entry essay on these pickup games and the impact they had on me and the neighborhood I grew up in.
Q: What is your favorite thing to do outside of coaching?
A: Traveling. I love to travel around the country (and the world) whenever I can. I’ve been fortunate through my job as a journalist to be able to see a wide array of places. The world is a massive, breathtaking and beautiful place, and it’s incredible to see soccer as something that connects all of us.
Q: What is your strangest or most unique "claim to fame", or a random experience you've had that people might not know about?
A: I worked as writer and editor at The Source, a famous hip-hop music magazine, in the early 2000’s. I interviewed, spent time with and wrote stories on many of rap’s biggest stars.
Q: If your players only remember one lesson from you, what do you hope it is?
A: My style of possession, passing and intelligent soccer, which I personally find to be the most enjoyable to watch.
Q: What is your favorite thing about coaching?
A: Seeing the kids work on a concept in training over and over, and then execute it in the game. The marvel of those moments never gets old.
Q: What do you love most about Northern Soccer Club?
A: Our community of dedicated coaches, talented kids and supportive parents is unique, and rare in today’s cutthroat world of youth sports. The club’s emphasis on turning Northern kids into intelligent, creative and brave soccer players, and holistic members of our community is something that I deeply appreciate.
