Colin S.

I have coached beginners all the way up to other professionals looking to sharpen their skills. I have experience coaching during all parts of my career including in high school, throughout college and into my professional career as well.

I have had the pleasure of working under many highly rated coaches including Eric Steele of Manchester United, Andy Quy of Stoke City, and Brad Friedel of US men's national team and Tottenham.

I have also gone through the division 1 college recruiting process and know what qualities, experiences, and behaviors coaches are looking for.
I want to help players develop physically, tactically, and mentally so they can progress on to the next level.

Prior to training, I like to talk to players and parents (as applicable) about short and long term goals.

Will work on the mental component by talking through past game(s) and areas to improve, if there was a game since the previous session.

Then will work on the physical part with agility and speed with certain position specific movements needed to optimally perform in games.

Will then go into the technical and tactical part of the game with drills focusing on improving weaknesses and strengthening strengths.

Each player is different/unique and specific plans will be made for each individual to improve and progress to the next respective level.
