Our Philosophy

Coach Davison wants to bring an element of who he is and what he values to the soccer program. Soccer is a global game, so his goal is for Lamar soccer to have a global reach. The goal of this program is to provide players with more than just an understanding of the sport. A lot of the program is understanding what it takes to be a man; Davison aims to mature boys and help them grow into young men. His goal is to teach the players responsibility, sacrifice, and accountability both on and off the field.

"No matter what, we have to hold ourselves accountable to things we can control (and sometimes to things we can't control). The overall goal is to teach our players to make the right decisions when they need to while also teaching them a winning mentality."
