More About Coach Dillon

I train players who are serious about playing soccer at the next level. I work with players of all ages. I make sure each player understands the fundamentals of the game before we move on to more complex progressions. My sessions incorporate college-level philosophies, although I make sure to train each player at his/her own pace.

I love working with kids and am truly honored to pour myself into players who have a desire to work hard and improve their game.

I received training through highschool and my freshman year of college as a target forward and hold highschool goal scoring records in NY. I learned how to create space for myself and my teammates, hold the ball with my back to goal, turn my defender, and finish is a variety of ways. I will teach you all of these fundamental skills with the hope that as you master the fundamentals of the game, you can use your own creativity to take your game to the next level.

In my sophomore year of college, I transitioned to a holding/defensive midfielder - which I absolutely loved. I found that I could control the tempo of the entire game and had much more influence on my team's outcome. It was a natural fit. I increased my speed of play, and improved my vision and decision-making. I teach my players the four basic cuts that all midfielders must master, plus the importance of playing against the flow.

All-time goal scoring leader in New York State Section 2 (137 goals, 99 assists).

COLLEGE:
-- Started in last 65 games of my career
-- Led my team to 2 league championships
-- Passed all four 5-minute mile time trials in preseason
-- Recipient of the Dave Jones Memorial Award (Off-field ministry and leadership award)

HIGH SCHOOL:
-- All-time leading scorer for NYS Section 2
-- League MVP as a sophomore, junior, and senior
-- Scored 137 career goals in 4 years
-- Posted 99 career assists in 4 years
-- First-team all New York State

I make sure that I run unique sessions that will stretch you and your abilities, and also have some fun. I ask that you arrive a few minutes early to warm up and stretch, so that we can jump right into things once the session begins. The initial session teaches the fundamental skills of the game and let's me get a feel for you as a player. I believe the best players master the fundamentals of the game. I don't think we can ever go overboard on the fundamentals - even pros can play quicker and crisper. After I assess you in the initial session, I will tailor the following sessions to compliment your needs and current skill-set.

I give detailed feedback after each session and give you some things to work on before the next session.

Dillon is easy to talk to and readily available to communicate with. He asked for background information on my daughter before their first session, and immediately out her at ease at that session. My daughter is looking forward to continuing to work with Dillon!

Coach Dillon trains both of my boys and he has done a great job showing them good playing skills. My boys enjoy training with Coach D.

We are very impressed with Coach Dillon and would recommend him to anyone looking to strengthen their soccer skills. Our son is on a beginner level but has a desire to get better. Coach Dillon got right into teaching him the importance of soccer including speed and change in direction, something he didn't learn from four years of recreational soccer. As a parent I found it easy to follow along and by the look of it so did my son. It gave him the confidence to practice more and us, as parents the knowledge of what we need to practice with him. Coach Dillon was very professional and warm with our son. He made him feel comfortable and his positive feedback really pushed our son to perfect his skill, even as a beginner. Our son talked about his private lesson the whole way home. Coach Dillon told him he'd be the best on the field should he prefect the shooting/cuts they went over on the first day. He's excited about being that player and came home ready to practice.

We look forward to continuing have Coach DIllon teach our son, but most of all, our son looks forward to going back and learning. Coach Dillon is highly recommended and we feel fortunate to have found him through CoachUp.

Coach Dillon has exceeded my expectations already. His teaching style and personality mesh very well with my 10 year old daughter. She likes it so much she basically wants daily lessons- and is already asking about when the next session is before we are out of the parking lot. Looking forward to continuing this journey with Coach Dillon.

Coach Dillon is amazing, all the moves I found really tricky over the TV he make sure I learn them so easily...he is perfect for me...

Coach Dillon was very professional and my son really interacted well with him. He has asked if I would schedule more sessions with Dillon. Just within the first hour I could see that my son was understanding and learning better ways of shooting and controlling the ball. I would recommend Coach Dillon for anyone looking to improve their child's game.

Coach Dillon was very responsive, flexible and was great with both of my kids. They each require a bit different handling and skills work and he was able to tailor his program for their individual needs. He was very patient and yet worked them hard and they loved it and begged for more. We can't wait for the next session!
