Thomas Dooley Quotations

In Europe, it's different - you eat soccer, you breathe soccer, you drink soccer. Everything is about soccer.

I have one of the most beautiful places in the world in Orange County. That's a great place to live.

What we are missing over here is the life of soccer.

A lot of kids do not know my club exists yet. I did not do any big advertising, and that's what I might do in the next two or three weeks, put something in the paper.

What is different is I am giving the kids a chance to train every day. Not only once a day, but sometimes when they do not have school, we will try to do something in the morning too.

The other thing is I don't want to move any more. I have moved so many times in my life.

If I am taking a job, I really want to do it 100% on a daily basis, and that's not what I can do right now.

If I would take a job with a professional league, I need to be ready.

I want to spend more time with those kids. I want to dedicate my time to train those kids and teach them what it takes, what they need to do to get to this level.

One is my club, I want to develop those players, and I want to be in the beginning at least, until I have everything ready, I want to spend as much time to develop those kids as possible.

I could stay in Germany and start my coaching career there. I did not want to.

People have to pay a lot of money to play soccer here.

When I do the job, I want to do it 100%.

Of course, it is very expensive too. You have to pay the coaches and for the fields and the lights. You have to pay for equipment.

Because if you really want to be a professional player, training two three or even four times a week, it's not enough to get there.
