Alexandra D.

I've coached at the University of Maryland's soccer camps for three years, coaching girls from ages 7-16 years old. I've done personal training for both girls and boys ages ranging from 9-13. I currently coach for the premiere soccer club KINGS FC. I am working on getting my F license.

While playing club soccer for the Stars of Massachusetts, my team and I made it to Regionals four years in a row and competed at the Nationals two out of the four years with them. While playing in the ECNL league, we also made it to the ENCL Nationals. I was recruited my sophomore year in high school by University of Maryland where I played from 2011-2015. I was a forward for the Terrapin's all four years and was named captain in my senior year. As a freshman, we made it to the NCAA Sweet 16.

In my sessions I like to work on a "complete" player, focusing on all aspects of the game. I start with a dynamic warm up, followed by agility and speed work drills to ensure the player learns how to control, shift and use their body effectively. I then move onto the technical aspect where they work on foot skills and ball control, passing, receiving, and dribbling. I love to get involved with competing with my players one on one so that we can make their training experience more game realistic. At the end of my sessions I ask my player if there is anything else they'd like to work on, then we focus on that until it is time to cool down and stretch.
