More About Coach Elias

I have coached both boys and girls from ages 6 to 18 for 6+ years. I have been the head coach of 4 different aged travel teams, and the assistant coach for many teams up to high school. I have done individual sessions for over 30 different players aged 6-16. I have the US soccer E license.

I won the u19 NPL Nationals as a youth player. I then went on to play at an NAIA college for two seasons. From there I transferred to UIC which is an NCAA division 1 school where I helped the team win the conference. After my college carrer I moved to Australia to play professionally in Melbourne. I then signed with a professional team in Michigan. While playing professionally in Michigan I helped the team win its first NISA championship. I am currently still playing professionally for the Michigan Stars FC.

My sessions vary depending on an athletes ability. If a player is a beginner most of my sessions revolve around developing the technical basics needed to play at higher levels. I incorporate a lot of game like versions of basic drills to help players feel comfortable when put into a game environment while still developing their base level technique. For higher level more advanced players I do a lot of game realistic positional work. For example if I am training a center midfielder one drill we might do will focus on turning under pressure and completing passes into targets at game realistic angles and distances.
