Coach
In 1911, Gould became the assistant coach at the University of Pennsylvania. He coached the freshman team until ill health led to his replacement by fellow Hall of Fame member Jimmy Mills in 1938. Each year the University of Pennsylvania recognizes its top men’s soccer player with the David L. Gould trophy.
In 1934, Gould was selected to coach the U.S. national team at the 1934 FIFA World Cup. As the U.S. was late in applying for the cup, it needed to play Mexico in a qualification game in Rome. The U.S. won that game, but fell in the first round to eventual champion Italy.

Famous quotes containing the word coach:
“Dr. Birdsell, my dramatic coach in school, always said that I was the most melancholy Dane that he had ever directed.”
—Donald Freed, U.S. screenwriter, and Arnold M. Stone. Robert Altman. Richard Nixon (Philip Baker Hall)
“Oh! joyous hearts! enfired with holy flame!
Is speech thus tasseled with praise?
Will not your inward fire of joy contain:
That it in open flames doth blaze?
For in Christ’s coach saints sweetly sing,
As they to glory ride therein.”
—Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
“The woman ... turned her melancholy tone into a scolding one. She was not very young, and the wrinkles in her face were filled with drops of water which had fallen from her eyes, which, with the yellowness of her complexion, made a figure not unlike a field in the decline of the year, when the harvest is gathered in and a smart shower of rain has filled the furrows with water. Her voice was so shrill that they all jumped into the coach as fast as they could and drove from the door.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
