 Testimonial

December 9, 2011

I met Vernon Haynes in 2006 when we both worked for the New York Mercantile Exchange. We first struck up a casual conversation while waiting on line in the company cafeteria. I asked him about his accent, and for some reason I asked if he had seen the US MNT v. Trinidad friendly the night before on TV. That began an unending conversation and friendship that has lasted to this day.

At the time I sat on the board of my local soccer club, the Ridgewood Maroons (NJ), where my U-11 son played. I also was looking for a good coach/trainer for my son’s team and for someone to coach other teams in our youth program. Although Coach Haynes was not currently coaching, I encouraged him to work with my club. I believe he was working with 5 different teams (U8-U13) within the next six months. His tenure lasted over two years before he decided to relocate to Texas.

During this time he also individually trained two of my three daughters. That work played an important part in their soccer education and paid off well. Megan graduated last May from Christopher Newport University (VA) where was named first team all conference defender in her senior year. Her team also had a school record fifteen game win streak and won a Div. III NCAA bid for the second year in a row. Her younger sister, Kelly, won first team All State honors in her senior year of high school. She was recruited by Virginia Tech to play soccer where she earned ALL ACC Freshman Team honors and ALL–ACC Second team honors this year. Kelly also attended U-20 and U-23 National Camps in 2010. VT has gone to the "Sweet Sixteen" twice in her three years there, and she has already become the schools leading all-time point scorer.

Coach Haynes certainly has extraordinary knowledge of the technical aspects of the game, and has done much to expand my children’s’ knowledge of the game and to make them better players. But his genius can really be found in his total approach to teaching. He loves the sport, and has a true respect for all who seek to master this most difficult of all sports (despite how "easy" he says it is!). He makes those he works with believe that soccer is in fact more than a game, something worthy of complete attention and effort. I know Coach Haynes is deeply sincere in his Christian faith, and he seems to regard the game with almost the same reverence.

Coach Haynes gift is his ability to share this joy, and to show those he teaches how to access it through the game. The combination of technical know-how, passion and an artist’s insight are a valuable combination. To find someone willing to share it is even rarer, and good fortune to those who are able to find it. We miss Coach Haynes in NJ, but I am happy to see that he is doing what he loves in such a soccer friendly state as Texas. You are lucky to have him!

  Professor Lauds Former Student, Notable Coach MA in Liberal Studies Program, City University of New York, Oct. 10, 2010 DAVID TRABOULAY - Professor of History and Liberal Studies, College of Staten Island, the City University of New York. Dear Friends: I feel honored to say a few words about my friend Vernon Haynes talents as a soccer coach. Vernon was a former student of mine and a valuable member of the great St. Benedict’s College football team of the middle 1960s, a team that won practically all the trophies at the collegiate level and major club championships of Trinidad and Tobago as well, which included stalwarts like Leroy de Leon, Warren Archibald, Jan Steadman, Wilfred Cave, and Steve David, among many other fine players who went on to represent Trinidad in the World Cup qualifying stage only to miss going to the finals by sheer extreme referee partisanship in the final match with Haiti, and who were among the first Caribbean players to be awarded professional contracts in the North American Soccer League. On returning from Europe in 1964, I taught at St. Benedict’s College from 1964 to 1968. Given also the responsibility to be manager of the College Sports teams, we recruited outstanding young soccer players, among whom was Vernon Haynes. At that time, we looked for young men who had both soccer and scholastic ability, sound human values and the ambition to achieve great things. Our College had recruited two outstanding soccer coaches, Mr. August Wooter from Surinam, and Mr. Americo Brunner from Brazil. August Wooter had played for his national team and Brunner was a member of the brilliant Hungary team of the 1950s that included such giants as Puskas. He migrated to Brazil later in his life. Wooter emphasized technical skills, from the simple to the most sophisticated; Brunner focused on teaching the players that football was an art, and inspired them to model their play on Brazil. Both instilled in the team the commitment to discipline and hard work. If you were to ask Trinidad soccer enthusiasts which decade of football they remembered, most will confess that it was the magnificence of the St. Benedict’s College teams of the 1960s. I met Vernon again in New York about five years ago, and we re-established our friendship. He was an unassuming young man who was an outstanding midfield player, intelligent and a brilliant passer. He was a fine coach in New York. He is a coach who not only can impart his knowledge of the game of soccer and soccer skills generally, but he is a fine model of good citizenship.
