Few coaches can look back on decades of success and still tell you exactly who deserves the credit, but Lenny Long isn't most coaches.Lenny is quick to share the credit, and that says everything about who he is as a coach.

Yes, the early momentum "just worked" and started drawing quality American talent, but Lenny is clear that what made it stick was the people around him. It was something manufactured together, through a distributed network of leaders, mentors, and believers who showed up every day and made the thing run.Lock Haven Olde Boys Soccer ClubLock Haven Olde Boys Soccer Club
