David L.

I am 24 years old and have been coaching for seven years. I was a Varsity assistant coach for two years at Shawnee Mission South HS as well as a Varsity assistant coach at Maranatha Christian Academy for 1 year. I have coached more than five youth teams ranging from 6 to 15 years old. I love and am able to work with kids of all ages and ability.

I played for Sporting Kansas City's youth academy for 4 and a half years where I earned the Bob Gansler youth player of the year award. During that time I appeared in four reserve league games with Sporting Kansas City's professional team. After my time with Sporting KC I signed a contract to play in the USL with the Oklahoma City Energy where I played for one year, making over 20 appearances.

I think the first step to a great soccer player is technical ability. Passing, receiving, shooting etc. My sessions consist of the in depth techniques of these skills to improve your game. They last one hour and are very hands on with as many touches as a player can get.
