Soccer is Clem's, passion in life having played from a young age through to semi-professional level in UK as an adult. His aim is to pass on his experiences and love of the game to today's youth and help them to achieve their ambitions and at the Premier level and beyond. He believes the game can teach many of life's important lessons such as learning to be a gracious winner as well as how to be humble in defeat. Most importantly a young player can learn that pushing yourself and working hard pays off in victory both on the soccer field and in life. Clem believes being a part of a team is also important. It builds team spirit, competitive heart, sportsmanship and more. These are life skills that will benefit the kids as they grow into adulthood. Above all it is important to him that they enjoy their childhood and have fond memories of the fun they had with their soccer experience.
