Amelia S.

I am a passionate and dedicated soccer coach with a lifelong connection to the beautiful game. My journey in soccer began at the age of 9, and I've since traversed the competitive landscape from youth clubs in Southern California to collegiate and even professional levels. With over 20 years of coaching experience, soccer is not just a hobby; it's a way of life for me.

As a lifelong soccer enthusiast, my playing journey began in AYSO, evolving through top teams with NHB, Irvine Strikers and Surf. culminating with UCI, before an injury redirected my passion towards coaching, allowing me to leverage my deep love for the game and extensive experience to mentor and develop the next generation of players.

During a typical session with me, clients can expect a holistic approach to player development, with a strong emphasis on Game IQ, skill awareness, and mental fortitude. I design sessions that not only enhance technical skills but also empower athletes to excel in the game's strategic and psychological aspects. We begin by assessing each player's strengths and areas for improvement, and then tailor drills and exercises to their specific needs. Whether it's refining ball control, mastering tactical decision-making, or boosting mental resilience, we work together to build a well-rounded athlete. Through a combination of structured drills, game simulations, and personalized feedback, I ensure that every athlete leaves each session not only a better player but also a smarter, more confident one, well-prepared to excel in any match situation.
