One of any coach’s objectives on any team is to find a way to connect to their players. For skills coach Tanner Chassman, his experience makes connecting to his players easy.
Chassman, much like the players he coaches, spent a majority of his childhood climbing through the ranks of the U.S. Soccer development system. Unfortunately, due to several knee surgeries by the age of 18, Chassman’s dreams of reaching the highest levels of soccer came to an end.
However, while his dreams might have had to change, his passion for the game never wavered.
“Soccer is my life, that’s what has taken me around the world,” Chassman said.
