Elias S.

I am a youth soccer coach at South Bronx United with experience coaching U8–U14 players in both recreational and competitive environments. I lead structured training sessions focused on technical development, decision-making, and confidence on the ball. I work with players of varying skill levels and adapt sessions to help each athlete improve while maintaining a positive, supportive environment. I hold a US Soccer Grassroots / D License.

I am an NCAA collegiate soccer player at Baruch College, competing at a high level while balancing academics and athletics. I have extensive experience in competitive soccer, including club and organized league play. My playing background allows me to bring advanced game insight, discipline, and professionalism into my coaching.

A typical session begins with a dynamic warm-up and ball-mastery exercises to improve coordination, balance, and comfort on the ball. Training then focuses on technical skills such as dribbling, first touch, passing, and finishing, using game-realistic drills and 1v1 situations. Each session is tailored to the athlete’s age, position, and skill level, with an emphasis on repetition, confidence, and decision-making. Sessions finish with competitive challenges or small-sided games to reinforce learning.
