Agassi B.

I have trained soccer players from ages 8 to 21. I have coached at LAFC in La Canada CA (not the MLS team) as an assistant coach for Under 8 team. I have been the assistant coach for the Varsity team at La Canada High School in 2012. I have personally trained players to get them ready to keep at the collegiate level.

I competed in division 3 in the mid-west. I played semi professional for the North County Batallion in San Diego CA. The semi professional league had players who were either in the beginning of their career looking to be signed to the mls or move to europe and players who had long careers as professionals. I also played in a competitive league in San Diego County for 3 years where my team reached I played as a striker most of my career from high school to college. I played at the academy level for LAFC and the premier level for LAFC in the Coast Soccer League. I also played in the LA municipal league before going to law school. When I played at the semi-professional level I played as a right back because of my speed, passing, and dribbling ability. In high school and in club I was usually the top scorer for every team I played for. I played for many teams and many different coaches. I know what it takes to succeed to the highest level and what attributes coaches look for in the collegiate and professional level.

I would like to first see what level a player is at. I will take the player through simple exercises to see their proficiency in dribbling, passing, ball control, and shooting. I see what the athlete needs work on go from there. I would also like to see the athletic capabilities of each player so I know what I can help them with. The typical session will start with juggling and reach 100 juggles before we start training. A 15 min warm up so the athlete can be ready for the session and prevent injuries. Training can range from cone drills done at a slower speed and worked up to high intensity. Passing and control drills. Shooting drills. I will also train with the player myself so the player can work on 1 v1 attacking and defending. I will work on all aspects of the game with the athlete so they are a well-rounded player. I will also ask the athlete what they would like to work on so each session is new and enjoyable.
