Brian started off at right back but has since developed
into a great central defender. He stands out for
his tremendous speed, fitness levels and his discipline
on the pitch. He's a perfect example of a team player
and he never over-complicates the job when he has
to cut off an opposing attacking move. He is a tireless
destroyer of the opposition's attacking moves. As
such he combines perfectly with teammates who have
a holding role in midfield.
He can also adapt to any of
the defensive positions when circumstances dictate.
He is tall (6' 1) and his physical strength and
jumping ability make him dominate in the air.
He is capable of man-marking opposing forwards.
He possesses good individual skills and is an
excellent passer of the ball.
Brian is extremely disciplined,
does not lose his composure, and leads by example
which are important qualities to have in order
to be successful not only on the pitch, but also
in life.
Message from Brian:
On the pitch, I am the starting center back for
the Los Angeles Futbol Club (LAFC) U-18 U.S. Soccer
Federation Academy team coached by Josh Henderson
and Barry Rison. The team will compete in the
USSF's Academy League and all the associated Showcases.
During the U-16 USSF Academy season, LAFC was
the SoCal Conference Champions and competed in
the Finals at the Home Depot.
Formerly, I was a starter
at center back and integral member of the youth
Club team FC Barcelona (U-15 through 17) and was
selected for the Cal South Olympic Development
Program. As a member of FC Barcelona, I competed
at the highest levels, Coast Soccer League's Premier
Division, both U-16 (Champions) and U-17, won
two Surf Cups, participated in two Dallas Cups
and the 2006 Nike Friendlies (Guest with Real
SoCal).
I last competed on the high
school level in 2006/07 when I was a starting
center back for La Quinta High School and we were
back to back Desert Valley League Champions and
were CIF Division IV Finalists. Individually,
I was selected All-CIF Division IV First Team,
All-Area First Team by the Press Enterprise newspaper
and All Desert Valley League.
