COACH SPOTLIGHT
Coach Anthony Antunes
Best Read
“The Mentor Leader” by Tony Dungy. I spent my whole senior year of college taking bits and pieces of the book to help me become a better leader and coach.
Biggest Inspiration
My parents. They’ve done everything for me and I intend to do the same for them as time goes on. I try to use the everyday values they’ve taught me to be a better person.
Favorite team
Portugal National Team. I’m 100% Portuguese and my family and I take all of their games very seriously. We currently have one of the best teams in our history of soccer so it’s very exciting to watch!
Favorite Food
Fried Calamari. I could have it anytime and anywhere!
Most Memorable Coaching Moment
My first official game for SUSA! This organization means so much to me and seeing its growth makes me that much more proud to be a part of it. Being mentored by employees who’ve coached me as a player on Long Island since I was very little is special to me. Thats what makes coaching so amazing!
Home Town
Brentwood and then moved to Wading River when I was 7 years old. That’s where I started playing soccer and realized how important this sport is to me.
