The Houston Dynamo have named Paul Holocher as the Director of the Houston Dynamo Academy, the club announced today.
Holocher, 49, joins the Dynamo Academy after spending the last three years with the San Jose Earthquakes Academy, most recently serving as the Academy’s Director of Formation. In that role, he was responsible for overseeing the Quakes Academy teaching methodology, curriculum development, talent identification and community development for the Formation ages.
