ABOUT

Football Saved My Life

The struggling, bench warmer, the clumsy and uncoordinated, alone and under appreciated player,

If that's you there could still be a place for you.

 

That was me, until I found some salvation in working hard and growing to love the game; and that was our son, Judah for s while.

Every child should be given a chance. As long as there is some passion and  interest  there is great possibility.

PERSONAL HISTORY

Married 35 years to Dorn.

Two Children Judah 33 and Arielle 18.

Grandfather of Janeiva and Josephine.

Played for St. Mary's College, Maple,  Fulham, Malabar XPA.

Invited to be a part of the Columbia University NY 1984 squad.

Blessed to have been tutored by some of the best Trinidad and Tobago Coaches of that era . 1979-1984. 

While being included U-19 National Team Pool and the East Region,

I was influenced by Berthill St.Clair and Roderick Warner.

As part of the touring  teams of the Alvin Corneal and Jean Lilly-white coaching Schools, top academies in Trinidad at the time.

Soccer was a religion to me before Christ. It kept me disciplined,

ambitious and even made me sort of famous at one time in my town, but it was a limited filler. Humans need the Father

and His son Jesus Christ to be truly satisfied.

I have accepted that truth and have lived a richly blessed life because of it.

I am now trusting God daily to make me more into the image of His son Jesus Christ. Elder at Zion House of Prayer 4107 Unit C El Rey Road Orlando

mike amato:

referee assignor

I have had the privilege to know Curt for the past 12 years.

 

As a referee, I enjoyed his style of coaching, it was positive to his players, other teams’ players,  and referees. I always found that Curt’s teams were extremely well-coached had a certain spirit about them and at the same time enjoyed each other, the game and had fun.

 

Later as the Director of referees for Florida Rush,  I found Curt to be incredibly supportive of referees and how he interacted. He is one of those people that seems to brighten your day, with a ready smile and positive word.

 

Frankly Curt is an inspiration to me, and others and all coaches would     do well to emulate him. "

ARIELLE HERNANDEZ:

LEGENDS GRADUATE

She was a graceful genius.

She made the game look effortless at times until she retired at 13. (See video below). This was the last recorded club game. Her U-12 team was playing up against U-13. Jacksonville squad. It was really enjoyable for her parents while it lasted. Her inspiration came from the Lord and from studying the legendary Marta Viera in Live games at Boca and recorded video.
