Soccer

Coach Jouko Gorissen will go in to his first year as the coach for the Oasis High School Girls team. Jouko Gorissen is the owner of his own soccer academy in the Netherlands and in the USA, Next Level Soccer Academy, and has over 14 years coaching experience on travel and collegiate level. Coach Gorissen received a bachelor degree in Sports Marketing and Sports Management in the Netherlands, with a minor in advertising, planning and management in Madrid and was given 3 honor degrees during his study time. 

Coach Gorissen played (professional) soccer since he was 3 years old and played for multiple (semi) pro academies in the Netherlands and for multiple representing teams for country and state. That is where his coaching philosophy is coming from. He worked with some of the biggest coaches and players in the history of soccer. All these coaches focused on the individual development of the players, but the team goal comes first. And that is exactly what coach Gorissen wants from his players as well. Every training session you practice to get yourself and the team better, you have to represent your school on and off the field. To represent your school it means you have to brand yourself, your team and your coach in all manners, from hard work on the field, off the field and in school, but also in what you eat, how much rest you take and what you say. 

Coach Gorissen wants to make sure that the players feel safe and enjoy the game to the fullest. That is why he wants to practice and play in a personal and challenging environment where the players can develop on and off the field.
