Process Over Results: A Message from Boys Director of Coaching Ray Selvadurai

Coach Ray Selvadurai

This year marks my 29th year at Manhattan Soccer Club. This club has been my labor of love for almost three decades, and I am excited for what the 2026-27 season holds for our young men, their families and our wonderful coaching staff.

Coaching is not my occupation; it is my vocation, my calling.

A new year is a fresh start. It is a chance to keep learning, to instill a growth mindset as we develop our young men on and off the field, and to build a positive culture for everyone involved.

Setting goals at the start of each year takes careful planning. The goals must be realistic and attainable, and they must not be outcomes or results. They must be a daily process, and they apply to our entire community, not just our amazing players. Here are ours:

  1. Create a positive learning environment for players, on and off the field.
  2. Develop players who train diligently, give their best and compete fiercely every weekend.
  3. Be the best version of ourselves: players, coaches and families, always learning and supporting one another as a community.

I truly believe that if our players, families, coaches and club stick to these process-driven goals, the results will follow, in soccer and in life.

I am always accessible. Email me at ray.selvadurai@manhattansc.org to set up a time to talk.

I look forward to a great season and continued growth for everyone involved.

Regards,

Ray Selvadurai
