More About Coach Benjamin
I’ve been coaching for years and I've trained players from the ages of 6-29 years old. I want to know the player's weaknesses and help the player improve in those areas. Once I know the weaknesses of the player, I will use training methods to improve the player's skills
At the age of fourteen, I joined a club team called LAFC at the Silver Elite Level (Los Angeles Football Club). When I was 16, I joined Galaxy in the Silver Elite Level. Then a year later, we moved up to the gold division (which is the highest-ranking). In high school, I joined the varsity team and in my senior year, we entered the CIF league (it's a league that competes with the best soccer teams within the state). At the age of 22, I joined the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) and played for a team called Legacy FC (Semi-Professional team). Eventually, I moved to Madrid and played against teams such as Getafe B/C, Alcorcon B/C and Leganes B/C and these teams have first division teams in La Liga. When I came back from Madrid, I joined a team called OCFC (Orange County Football Club) and they're a Semi-Professional team in the National Premier League (NPSL).
In the beginning, the athlete will warm up for about 15 min. Within the warm up, the athlete will move his lower body and upper body using dynamic movements like high knees, cherokee, ladder scissors, Iky shuffle and other movements. After the warm up, it's important the athlete stretches to untighten his muscles and prevent injuries from occurring. After stretching (depending on what the player needs to improve on) we can use a variety of exercises. Ranging from shooting, acceleration, agility, dribbling, crossing, vision, airball control, defensive work, long balls. When I'm with the athletes, I'll make sure to put them in the match mentality mindset as best as I can. It's important because these moments will reoccur once the athlete enters the competitive environment and they'll need to be prepared and equipped with the right methods and techniques to advance in those competitive moments and overall develop as a player

Rogelio (CoachUp client)
Great communication, very patient with kids. Thank you Ben.
Marlyn (CoachUp client)
Benjamin is an awesome coach. He coached my 11 year old for about a month. Every time we were on our way to the sessions, my son was very excited. Not only does he teach your child discipline and mental strength in the sport but he also has fun with them. Overall, great experience. Hope to be able to work with him in the future.

Fantastic coach – knows his stuff technically and has amazing ability to connect with athletes!
My son recently wrapped up travel team soccer for the season with his U14 team, after which for a several weeks we came to the Irvine area, where we started working with coach Ben. Taking our feedback on the areas my son wanted to work on as a midfielder, coach custom-designed a training program focused on increasing his pace, agility, and power/lift of his shot/pass. After just a few sessions, we already started seeing significant improvements in my son’s shooting ability, such that he is now a scoring threat from outside the box.
In addition to coach’s in-depth knowledge of the sport, what amazes us is his uncanny ability to connect with son. My son has a more quiet/reserved personality but I have found that in their 1 on 1 sessions, he is constantly picking coach’s brain and Ben would often “pause”/”rewind” play to help him hone his defending skills under various scenarios.
It’s been such a joy to have Ben work with my son. No doubt in my mind that if we were from the area, my son would be training with coach on a weekly basis.

Coach Ben was amazing! He was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and lots of fun. My kids instantly felt comfortable with him, as he communicates and relates to children extremely well. In just the first hour and a half session, my kids learned so much and improved dramatically. He’s improved their skills, their confidence, and their love for the game. Thank you Coach Ben!
Steve (CoachUp client)
Coach Benjamin was professional from the start. He was the first who responded to my inquiry. My son, who is six really appreciated his knowledge. He was firm, patient and kept my son very engaged. My son is looking to level up in soccer and I highly recommend Benjamin to any young budding soccer player or star. He is a class act
Alexis (CoachUp client)
Benjamin is an enthusiastic and attentive coach. My son has only done 2 sessions with him but we can already see the improvement. My son is begging for more time with him, he really enjoyed himself!

Samantha Gordon (Testimonial)
Benjamin is an incredible coach. He is so kind, patient and knowledgeable. His optimism made me feel so confident in my abilities and like I can do anything if I set my mind to it! He helped me improve tremendously in my technique and overall confidence on the field and I am so grateful he was my coach! I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
Will Close (Testimonial)
Benjamin is amazing! He has been coaching my 10 year old son for 6 months and the practices are always well planned and tailored to the players weaknesses. I have seen a drastic improvement in my sons skills, especially ball control. I cannot recommend Benjamin enough !
Johnny R (Testimonial)
I liked how versatile Benjamin was. He worked on trapping, passing, shooting and extensive ball work. Benjamin is also a speed coach. He has the equipment and knowledge to help increase your speed. My son was noticeably faster after training with Benjamin. My son was a beginner and lacked the basics skills. After a few sessions with Benjamin, there were significant improvements. We are still training with Benjamin and recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer/coach.
Tom Paolucci (Testimonial)
Ben is very energetic and insightful on what skills to work on. He had a great rapport with my son.
Christine Grammier (Testimonial)
My son loves going and always comes away feeling like he is progressing.
David (Testimonial)
Ben has showed me some serious soccer workouts in the past. I liked the workouts so much that I implement them in a weekly fashion. Mind you, I’m not a soccer player, my main sport is tennis. However, my endurance, agility, and fundamentals of being an athlete have all improved. 10/10 recommend Ben’s training.
Kelly (Testimonial)
I was very happy with the soccer lessons. Very professional and my son was very happy.

Abraham Delgadillo jr (Testimonial)
As my son has completed his first year in Club soccer and continuing with his club into 2022, I was on the hunt for an experienced trainer and I found one! Benjamin is the best. Just one session in and myself and my son are ready for more. From skills training, form and correcting the mistakes he’s really one of the best. Highly recommend!
