More About Coach Barry

As a coach I have worked with soccer athletes from age 8 up to players signed with MLS clubs. Most of the athletes I work with are between age 12 and 18, that age where motivation and aspirations grow and become within reach. I have worked with youth professionals in Ireland, as well as many Olympic athletes through my time studying in the field of Exercise Science and Human Performance. In New England I led top US Soccer Development Academy players through Soccer Performance programs with an emphasis on Injury Prevention. In the last 3 years, while living in the Bay Area, over 80 soccer athletes have been through my club-neutral soccer specific performance programs.

Graduates of my program have gone on to compete at the college level. While others have improved their level of performance enough to get recognized as a top prospect, selected for ODP regional squads and picked for the National Training camps and tournaments.

I am currently the Head of Performance and Athletic Development at San Francisco's top club, leading over 15 teams and 260 athletes each season, through programs designed to improve the athletic side of their game; speed, strength, agility and fitness. I am also the head coach of a Boys High School soccer program in SF.

Qualifications:
US Soccer - National B License (2018 candidate)
B.Sc. Health & Performance Science
M.S. Human Performance & Injury Prevention
National Academy of Sports Medicine - Performance Enhancement Specialist

Competing professionally in Europe thought me a lot. A lot about the demands of high level sport, both physically and technically. As well as the dedication and perseverance it takes to compete at the highest level. This dedication and perseverance was rooted in everything I did, from doing the simplest of drills to the best of my ability, every single day, to create habits that stand to me today.

Client Reviews

I highly recommend this program for any student athlete looking to improve their skills and fitness. Barry's program helped my son with technique, strength and conditioning in preparing to play college soccer. He also helped him understand nutrition and injury prevention. Barry was extremely flexible in terms of scheduling, working to accommodate my son's busy schedule. Well worth the investment!!!!
As a small freshman looking to play on varsity soccer alongside bigger, stronger, more athletic and technically skilled players, I was extremely intimidated. But with Barry's guidance, I was able to make gains in the physical aspect of the game that I never thought would be possible. As a high school student, my schedule is extremely busy, and one of the great things about PPS is the schedule can be tailored to the athlete's needs. Barry's training programs are fun and challenging while incorporating a carefully thought out balance of strength, agility, power, injury prevention, conditioning, technical skills, and nutritional guidance. His extensive knowledge about sports science is abundantly clear in the training sessions that are specific to each athlete's needs and abilities, as well as his ability to encourage and push athletes to their potential. My performance on the field has immeasurably benefited from this program, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to achieve their soccer specific goals. Thanks Barry!
I've been training with Pro Performance Soccer for about a year now and it's significantly improved my game. I play on high school and club soccer teams and am always looking to get better. His injury prevention program last fall helped me stay healthy while I played soccer 6 days a week. With Barry's help, I've added more speed, strength, and power to my game, and it's noticeable on the field".
Pro Performance Soccer's programs and Barry's dedicated attention to detail has allowed me to compete at the NCAA Level. The strength and speed I gained through this program were essential to winning a starting spot as a Freshmen this season in a team full of players much older and experienced then me. The injury prevention and movement stuff thats included in the training has helped me stay entirely injury free throughout a brutal season of 2 to 3 games per week. Moving into the Off Season Pro Performance Soccer has given me an understanding of the skills and movements I need to keep competing at a high level. This program is essential for player looking to compete at the physically demanding level of NCAA College Soccer".
