Leo Connell

SDSC Surf Coach since 2010

Leo has over 25 years of coaching experience in the San Diego area. He had played at the collegiate level and with the USAF team in Plattsburgh, NY. While continuously coaching at the club level he had also coached at San Pasqual HS for several years. Leo's coaching philosophy isn't just geared towards tapping into an individuals soccer potential, but also to learn to work as team member and a contributor to the team's goal. In that, is the art of teaching young people to be good citizens, contributors to society and a philosophy modeled after John Wooden's Pyramid of Success.

Favorite soccer moment: Ireland making the quarter final of the 1990 World Cup.
