The newest Timberwolf also said he was impressed by Simonson’s approach to coaching.

“What impressed me the most about Coach Steve was his sense of humor,” said Hirsch. “He made everyone feel comfortable while still being professional and passionate about the team.”

Simonson believes Hirsch’s versatility, work ethic and competitive nature will make him a valuable addition to the program.

“Luis is a tenacious defensive midfielder with a really strong engine and high compete level,” Simonson said. “He’s making great strides adjusting to our system of play and we think he’ll be a strong player for us.”

Simonson added that Hirsch has already made a positive impression within the squad.

“He’s also an incredibly likeable person who fits in with the chemistry of the group, having a positive impact both on and off the field.”
