I specialize in small group sessions (2-6 players) because they allow me to integrate speed, agility, and coordination while focusing on technical ability, decision-making, and duels in realistic game situations. Training with multiple players encourages competition, awareness, and adaptability. For older players looking to refine specific skills, I offer 1-on-1 sessions, taking a highly detailed approach to defending, finishing, dribbling, or passing, ensuring every aspect of their game is sharpened with precision.
