Coach Cam's leadership style is to lead by example, set clear, achievable goals, consistency with expectations. Coach Cam prepares our boys for the games and reviews each game teaching boys to learn from mistakes and critically analyze their performance.
He brings the best out in each kid. He wants and helps the boys work on developing stronger skills. His leadership has translated to the kids on the pitch. Watching them communicate and help each other is a direct reflection of his coaching.
Cam's philosophy boils down to Team First. No matter how good a player is, they succeed or fail as a team. Cam focuses with the players on individual execution and encourages them to take on opposing players to beat a defender or challenge for the ball.
Cam is absolutely a leader both on and off the pitch with both the boys and the parents.

Nominators comments:

Coach Cam does a great job promoting sportsmanship. He emails the girls "Keys to the Game" prior to every game. These include sportsmanship and tactical skills tips.
Coach Cam is diligent about referee respect and sportsmanship. He never yells during games and if calls don't go his way, he simply says unlucky and moves on.
Coach Cam deeply cares about the players on his team and expects and teaches them to do the same for each other both via email and personal discussion.
Coach Cam leads by example with his humor, humility, caring, and commitment to the players.
I love getting Coach Cam's emails because of the great deal of expectations he has not only for the girl's on the field, but for the parents as well and how important is it that we all know that we are representatives of Cascade FC and how our sideline and on-the-field behavior is of upmost importance.
Coach Cam focuses the girls on what they can control: their play, their effort, and their attitudes.
Coach Cam is great with the girls. He has been a positive role model on how to act on and off the field.
Coach Cam is constantly working with the girls to develop their game and improve. He uses tools like trace, stays after practice to help with extra drills, has extra training sessions and really just goes above and beyond to help each girl develop.
Coach Cam sees each player's skills and challenges and develops learning opportunities for each.
Coach Cam and Coach Taylor give freely of their own time to offer additional player development opportunities such as goalie training and additional optional shooting practice.
Coach Cam watches game film in his "spare time" and provides feedback to players on their play and explicitly voices his expectation that players are working on skills outside of scheduled team practices. All of this is far above and beyond typical coach efforts and any coach involvement I've witnessed in the past.
Coach Cam is always giving our girls feedback and has met and goal-set with each player. He is always providing extra opportunities for our girls to get touches on the ball and also encouraging them to watch female soccer to see how they play. I love that he is always inspiring the girls to be and do better through more and more exposure to soccer.
Cam has transformed this team over his tenure. He has shared his philosophy for coaching skills for the long term, not just on winning in the short term. This has been such a fun transformation to watch as a parent and so rewarding to the girls. They may face bigger more physical teams, but they play at a much higher skill level.
Under Coach Cam's leadership we have seen across the board improvement in each of the girls he coaches, but more importantly we have witnessed the girls gel as a team both interpersonally and in their execution of collaborative soccer play.
Cam is a quiet, encouraging leader, but his approach keeps the girl's attention and they work hard for him.
Coach Cam uses growth mindset philosophy to encourage the girls to overcome obstacles and challenge themselves and each other.
He expects the players to give all their efforts to the team and to each other and does this by acting accordingly himself.
He is meticulous in his oral and written communication and I know he spends hours in preparation so that he can bring his best to his athletes at both practices and games.
He focuses on each players strengths and looks for ways to develop them and opportunities for growth.
Cam is teaching the girls an age-appropriate view of what excellence looks like and the commitment and mindset necessary to achieve it. This will provide them with a template for success that extends beyond soccer.
Coach Cam runs a great goal keeper clinic and runs a PTT session. He brings his same focus and drive to all players he coaches.
Coach Cam spent a Saturday morning at a festival in Carnation where one of his players had a booth and was selling rocks she had painted. He even bought some of her rocks. I realize this was for a player on his team, but it shows his commitment to the players outside of just soccer.
Coach Cam is always encouraging the girls to watch and be involved in soccer above and beyond their commitment to Cascade. Especially with coaching girls, he is a huge advocate for the girls being involved with the high school and CFC high school-aged girls (attending their games, supporting the G04's at their last CFC game, mentor/buddy program). I love that he is supporting all these female athletes!!
What a great addition to the Cascade FC family!
Cam is a great coach, well skilled and a fantastic communicator. Not only with the girls, but he's great with the parents.
He is a challenging, professional coach- more similar to what you would except to find at the college level, and we feel so lucky that our daughter is able to work with him at only 11 years old.
Coach Cam is, simply put, a really good dude.
Coach Cam is truly awesome. He has put so much time and energy into this team and these athletes - they have come so far and all of it is due to Coach Cam.
His investment in these individual girls, our team and the Cascade program is fun to watch and our family is so lucky to be apart of it!
I feel so fortunate that Cam is coaching my daughter. He is playing a tremendous role in her young life and I trust him completely.
I think Cam is a positive role model for our girls, he's teaching them that even when you loose, you learn lessons from that loss and not to put too much stock into each game outcome. It's how you played that counts in the end.
I am consistently impressed with the thoughtfulness and clarity that Cam communicates to the players and parents in person and via email.

Eric models positivity at all times. He has led this team for several years and has helped to foster a special bond between the girls on the team, resulting in an overwhelmingly positive experience for the girls. They have formed lifelong friendships as a result of the environment that Eric has created.
Eric is an all-around great guy, which shows in the way that he coaches and in the culture that he has developed among the players on our team. He knows soccer, as evidenced by his practice and game plans. He makes the sport a lot of fun for the girls, while not sacrificing a desire and effort to win matches. An all around stellar coach and human being!!
Eric is a fantastic person in and out of soccer, I have known him for years but he will push you to your limits to show what you can do. He is someone you can talk to. He shows you things you never thought you could accomplish, and he helps you reach those goals. I could have never done half the stuff I have done without him.
