How Chris Sharpe became a set-piece master and why that might be the key to the Rapids’ success in the playoffs

As a member of Colorado Rapids coaching staff, goalkeeper coach Chris Sharpe has worked under six different head coaches, starting with Oscar Pareja in 2013 through his current boss, Robin Fraser.

“It has been a wonderful learning experience for me. I have had very good relationships with them all,” Sharpe said. “Understanding different (operating) systems, different styles of play, and the positions, and the roles of the goalkeepers specifically, from my coaching position within those styles has been very good in my development as a coach. They have all been very good to me, and obviously now with Robin at the helm, it has been wonderful and most enjoyable for me.
