More About Coach Eyobel

-I have coached in the Houston Charter schools Varsity teams, I have gained my coaching experience from one of the top Coaches in São Paulo, Brazil. I work with all ages 3+ and I thrive my best for your child to reach the level I once reached.

Current Head Coach of University of Houston Men’s Soccer Club.

- Current Referee 4+ years at Houston Charter schools.
- 6+ years coaching semi-pro & pro athletes, high school and college athletes.
- Trained players with tryouts at FC Barcelona U-15(Spain), Professional players from Houston Dynamo, Houston Dash and PSV Eindhoven(Netherlands) with proof.

I started playing soccer since I felt in love with it at the age of 3. I have played in different clubs, I was the Varsity captain for my high school and got a professional contract to play in Brazil straight out of high school. I have played with the likes of Gabriel Martinelli(Arsenal) when we were in Ituano F.C. Unfortunately I suffered an everlasting injury and had to leave my passion and wanted to be a coach and help everyone I cross path to reach to the next level and become professional.

My clients can expect some of the best training in the area. I focus on stamina and basic knowledge of soccer first. A lot of my sessions mimic in-game scenarios with a focus on technique and decision-making. Typically, a session plan would start with a dynamic warm-up (with the ball), followed by a few technical drills and some pattern-play to finish the session (the pattern-plays l've designed aim to re-create position-specific game scenarios). Once I make sure you have this in you, I work my hardest to help you become the best you can while we enjoy the sport, create a bond to help each other reach the next level. Remember, I’ll help you become a professional soccer player while you help me become a professional coach, deal? Let’s start working now.

My 15 yo son has been training with Coach Eyobel for about 2 months, and his progress is amazing! Coach Eyobel is an encouraging and very communicative coach who has a clear plan for improvement. These sessions are hard work, but Coach Eyobel makes them fun while stressing fundamental work. We look forward to seeing him each week!

My 16yo daughter has been training with Coach Eyobel for almost a year and he’s been a great addition to her soccer development. He’s very knowledgeable, skilled and encouraging. He’s has an undeniable passion for soccer and is very dedicated to his athletes. I’ve seen much growth in her skills and confidence as a player and look forward to witnessing continued improvement with his coaching,

Great session looking forward to scheduling more.

Eyobel is top a top notch, grade A professional! Our son’s soccer skills grew exponentially within our first 2 sessions with him.

Rebooking with Coach E. After 5 sessions we can already see improvement in our son’s ball control. Most importantly my son is excited to go to practices. Coach E took the time to learn the skills he needs to work on but also things he likes to do, score goals. Thanks Coach.

Our first session with Coach E was wonderful! He really took the time to evaluate my son and communicated well with both of us on what to expect going forward. My son is really excited to continue sessions with him, I can’t wait to see how much he is going to learn!

Coach Yeobel was a great coach. He was perfect to teach my son how to progress in soccer

Coach Eyobel is great! My kid is genuinely excited to attend practice! Wealth of knowledge and able to adjust practice to your kids needs. Glad we landed here!

We’ve seen incredible growth and development since my athlete started working with Coach Eyobel. In just a few months, the progress has been remarkable—not just in skill but also in confidence and mindset. Eyboel brings out the best in every session, and we’re beyond excited to see how much further we can go. Highly recommend!

Coach Eyobel is the best! My son has improved tremendously over the last several months, and he's been able to develop a lot of excellent skills in all facets of the game (dribbling, passing, shooting and defense)...looking forward to more lessons with Eyobel in 2025!

Amazing coach! My kids love going to practice!

Great first session and feedback from coach Eyobel
Will continue to work with him in the future

Coach Eyobel is very knowledgeable and relatable for kids. My son enjoyed his session and we look forward to booking more with Coach. He’s also great about flexibility on times and schedules. I REALLY appreciated that too.

Very impressed, great communication, well structured coaching session nice balance of technical skills and physical conditioning. Like that he makes my son take notes for practice at home.

Such a great coach! My daughter has improved with each practice & has become more confident since working with coach E. My daughter likes working with him & says she likes the way he teaches. Choose him you won’t go wrong!

Eyobel is fantastic. He has been instrumental in my son’s soccer development.

Coach Eyobel is a great investment for your young soccer player! My 9 year old daughter picked up soccer this past January and she asked to get more training before the Fall Season. Coach has been great in helping her with her confidence, building an athlete mindset and making sure she SMILES throughout the process. After only her second practice she gave me a big, sweaty hug and said how much she loved the session. She was beginning to hate "drills" with her team but she has loved the ones Coach guides her through and I already see improvement! Excited to see how she develops over time.

Our experience with Coach Eyobel has been nothing short of exceptional. As a parent whose daughter is passionate about soccer, finding the right coach is crucial. He brings a perfect blend of expertise and enthusiasm to every session. His knowledge of the game is evident in the way he breaks down techniques and strategies, making them accessible and exciting for the young players. What stood out most was Coach Eyobel ability to foster a supportive and inclusive environment. My daughter not only improved her skills but she also gained confidence.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Coach Eyobel to any parent looking for a dedicated and inspiring coach for their child. Coach Eyobel not only teaches soccer but also mentors young athletes, helping them grow both as players and individuals. We are grateful for the positive impact he has had on our daughter's soccer journey.

We were very lucky to find Coach Eyobel! He is a fantastic and motivating trainer. My daughter has definitely improved her soccer skills and has gained more confidence in the process. Coach E is truly the best and understands each player’s strengths and always gives feedback on what to work on. He is always on top of his game during training and it’s apparent that, not only can he train his students well, he is a talented soccer player himself. Satisfaction guaranteed!

Coach Eyobel is an excellent coach and would highly recommend to others.

Coach Eyobel was very patient with my daughter as a beginner and we look forward to many more lessons

Coach Eyobel was very professional and courteous during our training session!

Our first session with Eyobel was great! My boys enjoyed working with him and are looking forward to future lessons.

My 15 year old nephew was visiting from out of town and interested in some 1-on-1 coaching to highlight some focus areas for his training back home. Eyobel was honest, encouraging and very accommodating with scheduling. After just one session he had connected with him on a personal level and left him feeling inspired and motivated. He takes care to engage the player, explain the purpose of the drills and gives them the opportunity to arrive at the right answer on their own. He not only helped my nephew identify some areas to focus but also made him feel confident and capable. I also left the session feeling inspired. Would highly recommend Eyobel and looking forward to working with him again in the future.

Great great coach! My two boys absolutely love him and enjoy time in the field playing. We look forward to continuing lessons!

My daughter loves to work with this guy. He is very patient and passionate about teaching and taking your kid to the next level. He's very knowledgeable of the game and super flexible to schedule. I highly recommend him,and we won't be using anyone else.

Coach Eyobel does a great job training my son! I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants to improve their soccer game. My teenage son really enjoys working with him. His ball skills, shooting accuracy, and confidence have all improved since working with Coach Eyobel!

He is a very good coach, very professional, and extremely patient. He really motivates me a lot during training

Coach Eyobel is fantastic. He is kind, patient, and understanding while also challenging my son to his fullest potential. He's a wonderful coach and I'd recommend him to anyone.

Coach E has been great with my seven-year-old son. His approach has visibly improved my son's skills, and he looks forward to putting in the work with Coach E. I couldn't ask for anything more. Outside of what I've seen on the practice field, I appreciate how easy it is to work and communicate with Coach E. A+ experience all around.

Coach Eyobel is a great coach! He has great understanding of the game and makes the parents feel comfortable. His ability to keep my daughter laughing while learning brought joy to my eyes. I really enjoyed watching him help my daughter improve her soccer skills. If you are looking for a coach I definitely recommend him.

Coach Eyobel is a great coach and my 10 yo son loves going to training sessions with him. He comes home tired but excited about soccer. He makes him work hard while being very nice and encouraging. I have already seen improvement!
