More About Coach Christopher

I am a very motivated and driven individual and am always looking at ways to better myself, so the rest of my team can be better. I have volunteered at local soccer clubs for Panathinaikos and Gateway Soccer Club. I trained and coached from ages u12 girls all the up to u18 boys. I am currently the coach of a 2003 Girls Premiere team while continuing to train with Gateway Soccer club with a variety of ages. I have been coaching and training for a total of 4 years. I have experience leading fitness and conditioning training, goalie training, practices from ages 10-18 for boys and girls, and in game situations.

In high school I was one of the captains my senior year. I was recruited to go to University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky(NAIA). After one year there, I walked on at Southwestern Illinois College where I started five games and scored one goal. After that year, I was recruited to play at Lindenwood University-Belleville. My junior year in college, the team went undefeated, was ranked #2 in the country. We lost 1-0 in the semi-finals at the National Championship. My senior year the team was ranked #5 in the country and ended up winning the National Championship.

The first thing would be to warm up with some stretches and some light running. I am a firm believer in being able to use both feet while playing the game. It makes any good player, the defenses worst nightmare. I am an advocate of one touch passing and first touch settles. I will do the drills and the work with the clients, not only as an example of how or what to do, but because I would like to be better as well. And I 100% believe in what I am teaching.

Coach Christopher focused on those skill development areas that were the most important to us. He introduced some new training techniques and kept up the pace for 90 minutes. Well worth it.

Lucas said he like coach Chris a lot! Felt better at his team practice Tue.

I have had a wonderful time training with coach Christopher. It was my first time ever training with a soccer coach. I played a little bit of indoor and outdoor soccer but I consider myself a beginner. I wanted to develop basic skills and improve my fitness so I can enjoy my recreational games even more. Apart from doing standard ladders and cones, I wanted to do control and passing drills. I must say a lot of my expectations have been met already after 5 sessions. He is very patient and offers a lot of encouragement during sessions, which is great for younger kids. He also showed a willingness to listen to your needs and adapt his sessions accordingly. I look forward to more training sessions with Chris and I recommend him to soccer players of all ages.

Coach Chris is Fantastic. He not only takes the time to get to know you, he takes it to another level by tailoring the sessions around exactly what you need to succeed. He is interactive, flexible, prompt, energetic and just plain awesome. You won't be dissatisfied.
