Stewart Flaherty
Coach
Coach Flaherty helped develop over 70 future professionals in the college and USL League Two (then PDL) ranks before coaching in the professional ranks himself. Having never played professionally, coach Flaherty had to work harder and study longer than most peers to reach the levels he reached in coaching, a concept that he carries into developing and ascending the players within our residential program.
Enoch Showunmi
Coach
Coach Enoch played over 400 professional games in the English and Scottish professional leagues and also represented the Nigeria full national team. Having been rejected multiple times from youth academies while young and signed pro relatively late, coach Enoch is passionate about boosting players up the levels of the game who may have been overlooked for different reasons.
ABOUT GSP's RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM
A flaw exists in the current youth coaching model where players will play one style, struggle in college and then the style of play be blamed. This dynamic is even stronger at the professional level. If you truly want to make it to the top of the sport, you must be able to thrive in a range of environments and we will teach this to our players. Any guest coaches will be college or professional level and game opposition will come from these levels to sharpen the game of our players and have them KNOW, not guess what the realities are.
All games will be filmed and our players given classroom sessions to teach how to make their highlight reel most effective for their position of play. Individual and team performances will also be evaluated and reviewed post game in a group classroom setting.
While some players may struggle in the advanced opposition level games, they will receive connection, mentoring and support from the staff. This is the key to development rather than massaging the environment to make sure they succeed. Written evaluations will be provided to players at the end of each term and discussed with families to guide going forward.
Weekly Sport Psychology lessons will be delivered on campus from the Erimus Sport Psychology staff. Erimus has worked for 16 years with clients including athletes from Major League Soccer, UFC fighting, professional Boxing and a range of college sports.
Tactical education will also feature professional and college coaches breaking down a game with our players and helping them see and evaluate through a coaches eye. In our experience this has been a very positive factor in increasing a player's in game awareness. We will also attend annually at least one professional and one college game, both for the experience and the educational aspect of the trip.
