More About Coach Damian

I have been playing football for the past 14 years. My coaching is based on the principles I learned from my own private coaches and incorporates the drills I found most helpful as a collegiate and professional player.

I enjoy working with players of all ages and levels, but I especially enjoy the challenge of coaching teenagers, because with them I can make the biggest difference in their game. My specialties include footwork, strength training, agility training, speed work, and proper stretching. I focus on teaching skilled players how to use technique to maximize their athletic ability .

I start my sessions with a dynamic warm up, followed by skill and footwork development, conditioning, speed work and tons of repetition. When my athlete is ready, I’ll do some one-on-one work to allow them to go up against a pro. After each session, I want my athlete to feel an immediate, concrete improvement in his or her game.

• Won a Football CIF title in 2000
• Qualified for the Master's track & field meet in high school
• Won the Mid-Major National title in Football at USD in 2006
• Played in the AFL, Swedish Football League and Norwegian Football League
• Played for the San Diego Thunder

We start off the workout with 2-4 laps around the field. I prefer to do some active stretching before we get into some ladder and footwork drills. After the warm-ups, we start doing some soccer drills and shooting. After the session, we finish with some sprints and some ab work.

Damian is a great coach,
Took his time with my boys, was patient and definitely saw what they needed improvement in.

My daughter has improved tremendously since training with Damian. The location is real close to our place. We hope to work with him more in the near future.

I'm really looking forward to book more with Damian

Damian really knows what he is doing. My son needs help with speed and agility and Damian identified the problems right away. He also knows football inside and out so he is able to talk to my son about the position he plays and explains the details of the game. Highly recommend Damian for any athlete.

3 sessions and looking forward to more. Learned so much and can see improvements. If anyone is looking for a great coach, it's Damian.

Coach was always on time and very professional. My son's talent did increase.
Thx Coach

Today was our 16-year-old's first session with Coach Damian. Damian did a great job at targeting the immediate and many skill needs of our son - he worked on improving his footwork, positioning, football IQ, etc. (as our son is transitioning from another sport). He related and communicated so well with all of us. It became quickly apparent that he has a great deal of knowledge and experience to share with our son. We look forward to our son's next session with Coach Damian.
