The athletes I have trained (both boys and girls) varied in skill from beginners around age 6 to college athletes who compete at a very high level. I have coached in Southern California as well as around the DC area. I have been privately training since 2018.

I have played soccer since I was 5 years old.
At age 13 I was called to the U14 US youth national team. At 18 I was called for the U20 US National Team.
I played for Portland Timbers academy for 3 years and Pateadores Academy in Southern California for another 3 years.
After highschool I played in college at Virginia Tech for 4 years.
During and after my time at Virginia Tech I had multiple professional trials in England with teams that include Barnsley, Bradford and Exeter City. Unfortunately due to injuries I could not pursue it further

For the first session I like to get a good idea of the skill level of your athlete, this training usually includes a good warmup, a variety of drills that include dribbling, passing, shooting, defending and a combination of these. This session is usually very difficult and forces your athlete to make mistakes. This allows me to see what they excel in as well as deficiencies in their game.
After this I can put together a plan specific to your athlete, this plan will target their weakness as well as continue to grow their strengths. The plan will cater directly to your athlete and the goals they wish to reach.
