The lessons that can be learned by training with a former professional who has travelled the path from grassroots to professional soccer to national team are invaluable and cannot be replicated by many.

I am a Experienced Soccer Coach/Personal Trainer who knows what is required at the Professional level technically, physically & mentally. Dedicated and passionate to teach young soccer players of all ages with high energy and the goal to be the best.

Since retiring from playing soccer at age 34 due to injury I have spent time at Queens Park Rangers in London England coaching and held the position of assistant coach at a semi - professional team in England prior to accepting the director of coaching role here in Miami.

I am very heavily connected with many teams in the UK including Premier League clubs Brighton and Hove Albion & Queens park Rangers along with many MLS teams, college coaches and professional teams in the USA & Canada.

I played professionally soccer here in Florida in 2014 for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers. Coach Chris is currently serving as the boys Director of Coaching for Miami Lakes United Soccer Club.

As a player, I played semi-professional and professional soccer in Europe and the North America for 15 years between 2002 and 2017. Captained the Guyana National Team and has competed in World Cup Qualifiers against powerhouses such as Mexico, Costa Rica and El Salvador aswell as CONCACAF Champions League.

I initially came to the United States from London England in 2009, spending a season with the USL’s Rochester Rhinos before joining then Puerto Rico Islanders in 2010 and then Carolina RailHawks (Now North Carolina F.C) as a player in 2011 then transferring to FC Edmonton Canada then returning here to Florida to play for Fort Lauderdale Strikers.

Theres is no shortcut to success. Whilst developing the technical, tactical and physical attributes to be phenomenal soccer players. Love the Ball Florida teaches work ethic, principles and disciplines that equate to positive success in all areas of sport and life. Teaching soccer players to possess the ball with purpose. Encouraging players to think quickly and play forward with a focus on clever movement and good forward runs. Players are encouraged to be creative and master their skills. Whether it is shooting, passing, dribbling or heading we train our players to be ruthless in execution.

Sessions vary depending on the needs of the individual or the group. They can vary from on Fitness, Strength & Conditioning, Mentality, Tactics, Communication, however the main focus is often technique, repetition and the pursuit of excellence and mental strength.
