More About Coach David
I graduated from Virginia Intermont College (VIC) in May of 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in Sports Management. During my three years at VIC, I was extremely dedicated to the soccer team as a defender for two years after transferring from playing at Catonsville community college. In my third year, I was a student assistant to the soccer program. I then progressed to become the full time assistant coach in the 2012 and 2013 seasons. During my time as assistant coach, I helped the program get to two straight conference championship games, a feat not seen since 2006. I then took a soccer coaching position at a premier soccer club in Boston Massachusetts called Abbey Villa where we were one of the top ranked soccer clubs in the state of Massachusetts. I then took a senior staff coaching position at a top training soccer academy called 360soccer in Chester Springs, PA.
During my three years at VIC, I was extremely dedicated to the soccer team as a defender for two years after transferring from playing at Catonsville community college. In my third year, I was a student assistant to the soccer program. During My senior season at Randallstown High school I was named a team captain and made the Baltimore county senior All-star game. I also made the Region 20 all star game as a sophmore at Catonsville Community College.
During a typical session I have a dynamic array of drills I use to improve players foot skills and first touch. I also would focus on passing distribution and combination play. This will then lead in to shooting/finishing. Additionally, I focus a lot on ladder footwork and individual 1v1 defending.

Coach David was absolutely awesome! I feel like my son learned new skills even after having played the sport for eleven years. He was very polite and very patient with my son. I would highly recommend him. We will continue to use him.
Ana Maria F. (CoachUp client)
Coach David did a great job working with my son last week. It was my son's first session with a trainer, and Coach David taught him new techniques, gave him a great workout, and sent him home with skills to practice. We look forward to more sessions.
Sathwik (CoachUp client)
Coach David helped me in many drills almost immediately and wasted no time. I feel like he can help me get to the level I want to achieve and want to waste no time to practice with him. He was a great coach and I look forward to having more sessions with him.
Allison (CoachUp client)
Coach David was amazing with my son. My son gets frustrated very easily and Coach David kept him working, focused and engaged the whole time. I watched the first few minutes and came back at the end and could already see some improvement. Coach was responsive, encouraging, prompt and well worth it. We look forward to continuing to work with him!!

David (CoachUp client)
David has trained with both my children. He's helping improve goalie skills for my son and defensive techniques for my daughter. Both kids have enjoyed his coaching style.
Greg Williams, Abbey Villa Soccer Club Director of Coaching (Testimonial)
Having coached with David for 6 months he is one of the best coaches I have had the pleasure of working with. David runs a great session and his technical and tactical knowledge is spot on. He interacts with the kids really well and the teams he worked with absolutely loved him. His energy and love of the game shines through both in practices and games and rubs off on parents, kids and other coaches :)
Donald Gibson Evergreen Diplomats 2015 Season, Mount Saint Joseph Coach (Testimonial)
Dave is a childhood friend and I have always been inspired with his dedication to the sport of soccer. He thoroughly pays attention to fine detail to instill that the training session runs smoothly and efficiently. I recommend any inspiring player who wants to play at the next level to get in touch with Dave to get some intense training.
