TESTIMONIALS

 “I played for Frank at UNCC and he taught me what it takes to play at my highest level. He was and still is more than just a coach. We have continued our friendship for over 20 years now and he is one of the first people I look to when I need advice.” – Jon Busch– 20+ year Professional Goalkeeper  |  2008 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year

“What I learned most from Frank was the importance of competing with yourself. He would say to never compare yourself to others, just strive to do your best and look to make small improvements every day that help you reach your goals as a player and a person. I can confidently say that the four years I spent as a player on Frank’s team made me a much better player and person.” Tesho Akindele– FC Dallas  | 2014 MLS Rookie of the Year

“Working with Frank and BDE had a profound impact not only on our season this year, but on how I am approaching the leadership of my team for the foreseeable future. We were able to look into important areas of the program (tactics, role definition in the staff, vision for the team) and make significant improvements across the board. Frank is great to work with and provides a voice and perspective that is really insightful. He is honest, direct and communicated well with both the staff and the players.” Ross Duncan- Head Coach at University of Central Arkansas
