Eric currently serves as the U14 Girls Head Coach at Inter Atlanta and a Volunteer Assistant Coach for the Varsity Boys at Drew Charter High School. A product of the competitive DC soccer scene, Eric played club soccer for Reston FC and starred at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia—one of the nation’s top programs—where he helped lead the team to two Virginia State Championships.
Despite an injury-shortened senior year, Eric received collegiate offers and went on to attend Hampden-Sydney College, where his coaching journey truly began. By his sophomore year, he was already serving as a student assistant.
From coaching at Dulles Sportsplex in Virginia at just 15 years old, to working with players of all ages and skill levels across clubs like FPYC and Inter Atlanta, Eric now brings over a decade of coaching experience to the table. He recently completed his USSF C License and continues to grow as both a leader and mentor in the game.
Tune in as we talk about player development, building character through the sport, and what keeps Eric inspired to invest in the next generation.
