❤️ THANK YOU, NORTH TEXAS COACHES ❤️
What an incredible weekend.
As the FIFA World Cup 2026™ brought the world's game to North Texas, coaches from across our state came together with a shared commitment:
⚽ To learn.
⚽ To improve.
⚽ To better serve their players.
A special thank you to our outstanding presenters:
🏆 Lauren Gregg
🏆 Randy Waldrum
🏆 John Ellinger
🏆 Tom Durkin
Thank you for sharing your experiences from World Cups, Olympic Games, National Teams, professional soccer, collegiate soccer, and coach education.
Most importantly, thank you to every coach who attended.
You invested your weekend in becoming a better coach because you believe your players deserve the very best. That commitment is what makes North Texas Soccer special.
You are the heart of player development in our region.
We are incredibly proud of you.
We would also like to extend a special thank you to the North Texas FWC Organizing Committee for helping make this event possible.
And a special thank you to Cindy Solomon. Without her support, guidance, and belief in this vision, this event would never have become a reality.
The World Cup will leave memories.
The coaches of North Texas will leave a legacy.
