More About Coach Arthur
35 years old Brazilian native, I started coaching at the age of 16 and have been coaching ever since. Football is my passion and decided to make it my livelihood. I have coached all levels from being the director of coaching for various youth programs to assistant coaching in college and professional. I love working with kids ages 8-18 and I am working on developing a non-profit academy to work with all types of children in Pinellas County. My training never ends, I am enrolled in the BraziIian Football Universtity where I constantly take courses, I am US. Soccer and US Futsal licensed but in the near future I will go back to Brazil to get my professional license through the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation). I am a proud father of two beautiful kids one of which is a 4 year old boy who loves the game and makes me extremely proud.
I have played at Division 1 NCJAA for Monroe Community College. We were ranked in the top 10 in the nation and have many friends who played and play professional. Because of a serious injury in college, I had to retire from my dream of playing professional. Every year I would work hard to come back but my body was never the same. Recently in Upstate NY I had played amateur in different divisions, from premier down to second division depending on my physical condition. Here in Tampa Bay I am currently playing with the St. Petersburg Aztecs. My highest playing experience was to partake in the US Open Cup.
My philosophy is simple, the more you play the better you get. The more you dribble cones, the better you will get at dribbling cones, a punching bag won't punch you back. I try to focus on game related activities as much as possible thus allowing the athlete to self-discover his/her strengths and weakness. I love introducing different methods of training such as beach soccer and futsal, different size balls, and cognitive games that allow the athlete to develop soccer intelligence. Having fun is fundamental and I always believed that it is possible to work hard, be serious, but the main reason kids play the game is because it is fun and they enjoy it. It is impossible for me to write a session plan in here because every athlete is different physically, mentally, and emotionally so a custom session plan is needed for every athlete for every session.
