Dario M.

Hello my name is Dario Mariti and I am a former Italian semi professional soccer player for almost 20 years. I am a certified soccer coach. I have a Uefa B Licence and I have been coaching for 4 years in Italy at youth elite leagues and currently employed at Leman Manhattan Prep School as a Head coach of middle school team. I have been coaching from young athletes to collegiate aged teams.

I have been a semi professional soccer player in Italy. I have played in professional youth academies such as S.S. Lazio and Pescara and then I continued playing in the fourth Division of the Italian League for about 7 years.

I have been specializing in refine technical skills of the athlete, as well improving all tactical aspects of the game according to the position of the athlete. I focus my session on intensity technical drills, which aim to improve skills in game like situations and under stress, which is key to report improvements also to the pitch. Based on the needs of the athlete I can also plan an athletic program. I can teach all defensive skills (how to anticipate, correct body postures, timing of tackles, correct runs) and offensive (how to dribble, correct runs off the ball, shooting, passing, ball control, ball protection). I can also provide sessions suitable for beginners, focusing mainly on technical skills.
