TECHNICAL DIRECTOR | CHICAGO FIRE EMERGING TALENT PROGRAM

FORMER HEAD COACH | U18 MENS NATIONAL TEAM

“THE CHICAGO FIRE EMERGING TALENT PROGRAM (ETP) IS THE ‘NEXT-

LEVEL’ TRAINING ENVIRONMENT FOR THE BEST CFJ PLAYERS. ONLY

THE STRONGEST PLAYERS FROM OUR NATIONWIDE JUNIOR CLUBS

ARE INVITED TO THE ID CAMP; AT CAMP, PLAYERS ARE EVALUATE D

AGAIN AND A TOURNAMENT TEAM ROSTER IS BUILT TO REPRESENT

THE CHICAGO FIRE AT NATIONAL TOURNAMENTS.

ONLY ELITE PLAYERS WITH ELITE TRAINING CAPABILITIES GET

SELECTED. ETP SELECTORS ARE OFTEN LOOKING FOR POSITION

SPECIFIC PLAYERS WHO CAN PERFORM THEIR ASSIGNED TASK FOR

THE BENEFIT OF THE TEAM. JUNIOR CLUB PLAYERS WHO ARE SERIOUS

ABOUT THEIR OWN PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT CONTINUE TO STAND

OUT FROM THE CROWD.

THE CHICAGO FIRE EMERGING TALENT PROGRAM SUPPORTS THE

ELITE COACHING AND EXTRA PROGRAMMING OFFERED BY CFJ WEST,

WE ENCOURAGE ALL PLAYERS TO EMBRACE THAT ‘NEXT-LEVEL’ OF

DEVELOPMENT.”

A CERTAIN PROFILE. TECHNICAL ABILITY TO MASTER THE

PARAMOUNT.

PLAYERS WHO ARE DEDICATED TO THEIR CRAFT ARE THE ONES

THAT REACH THEIR GOALS. TRAINING IS THE ONLY WAY TO

IMPROVE AND SO WE ENCOURAGE ALL THE CFJ PLAYERS TO

EMBRACE ADVANCED TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS THE
