Brady R.

I have been a recreational soccer coach and referee for the Elks club for two years back home in St. Louis. I have trained many kids out in Indianapolis helping out a local business. I normally work with kids aged 5-16 but am open to older clients. I am SafeSport certified and have been coaching/training kids one way or the other all my life. I normally coach kids that are trying to take the next step from recreational ball to club or high school soccer.

I was 2nd team all conference for the Granite City High School soccer team. I played for Fontbonne University for a season in St. Louis, Missouri. I played for St. Louis Scott Gallagher most of my club ball career but have also played for Gateway FC and Metro United. I always played center mid so I am knowledgeable about all aspects of soccer except for the goalkeeper position.

My sessions always start out with 3 different passing/movement drills and ball control techniques. Then, depending on the position of the player, we branch out into different scenarios and drills that are tailored for the client’s needs. Midfielders would work on a healthy mix of attacking and defending. Strikers would work on turning, shooting, and exploiting open spaces. Defenders would would on defending techniques in different situations (1v1, 2v1, crosses)
