Edrey C.

I have experience playing competitive soccer for many years and have developed a strong understanding of the game, training habits, and what it takes to improve as an athlete. Through my playing experience, I’ve learned the importance of technical development, game awareness, conditioning, and confidence on the field. I focus on helping players build a strong foundation in ball control, passing, finishing, and movement while also teaching the mindset and discipline needed to grow as a player.

I enjoy working with young athletes who want to improve their skills, gain confidence, and develop a love for the game. I typically work with beginner to intermediate players, especially youth players who are developing their fundamentals and understanding of soccer. My goal is to create a positive, encouraging environment where players feel comfortable learning, making mistakes, and pushing themselves to get better each session.

While my background comes primarily from playing and personal training experience, I am committed to continuing to learn, studying the game, and using modern training methods to help athletes reach their potential.

I have competed at high levels of soccer throughout my career, including academy, collegiate, international, and professional levels. I spent seven years developing in the academy system with the Houston Dynamo Academy, where I trained and competed against some of the top youth talent in the country. I was also honored to be called up to represent the El Salvador national under-23 football team, which was an incredible opportunity to compete internationally and represent my heritage.

At the collegiate level, I played at Marquette University where I earned Big East Conference Second Team honors for three seasons, recognizing my performance and consistency in one of the top conferences in college soccer. I later continued my collegiate career at University of California, Los Angeles, where I was voted Team Player of the Year.

Professionally, I competed during the 2025 season with Lexington Sporting Club in the USL Championship. I am currently playing professionally with Union Omaha in USL League One, continuing to develop my game while helping younger players grow and reach their potential.

A typical training session with me is structured to be fun, competitive, and focused on helping players improve their overall soccer ability. We start each session with a fun warm-up that includes dynamic movement, light ball work, and coordination exercises to get the body ready while keeping players engaged.

After the warm-up, we move into technical training. This includes drills focused on ball control, first touch, passing, dribbling, and finishing. I like to create game-realistic situations so players learn how to apply their technical skills under pressure and at game speed.

As the session progresses, we incorporate decision-making exercises, attacking and defending scenarios, and small competitive games. This helps athletes develop confidence, creativity, and a better understanding of the game.

We usually finish with a competitive challenge or finishing drill to keep the session exciting and rewarding. My goal is for every athlete to leave the session having improved technically, worked hard, and gained confidence in their abilities on the field.
