COACH

I found this quote in my father's wallet after he passed away. He served as a Boy Scout leader for over 25 years. I use it for inspiration.

"One hundred year from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, or the house I lived in, or how much money I made. I take comfort in knowing that the world may be a better place because I helped make a difference in the life of a child"

Coach Joe Mendez began coaching youth soccer in 1992 in Yucaipa California. He holds a level D coaching license issued by US Youth Soccer through CalSouth and was a certified  USSF referee, now retired. Born and raised in Southern California, Coach Joe graduated from UCLA and is a technology professional when not coaching youth soccer. He is a past president of the Yucaipa Valley Youth Soocer Association, and servered on the Board of Directors for the Yucaipa Athletic Soccer Club and the Corinthian Futbol Club. He most recently came out of coaching retirement to coach in JUSA Yorba Linda and AC Brea Soccer.
