More About Coach Ferdi
I have almost 30 years of coaching experience. I’ve coached at all levels and in two continents ( Europe and US) I’m a pioneer of one on one training, I was doing private training in the early nineties and I have developed a performance driven program that suits any player at any level . I have helped so many players reach their goal , either with their college path or to become a pro or send them Europe . I have worked in institutions like IMG and professional youth clubs in Italy and US. I’m very demanding and I expect a lot from the players I coach and train.
I’m a former professional player ( NY Cosmos) and I have an A license. See you in the field.
I played professional for 9 years in US and Italy.
I have an A License and a UEFA A license. I’m a N.J. State Hall of Famer . I’ve won many championships and soccer has always been my life.
Obviously the first session allows me to get to know the player , technically and most important his motivation. I structure the session based on the player position and his level of fitness and physicality. I start with a technical warm up alternating dynamic stretching exercises and speed and agility movements about 15 minutes . Then we get into the topic of the training session for another 35-40 minutes. We finish the sessions with a small talk while cooling down. Training sessions are about 60 to 70 minutes . I normally suggest a 9 week program that I have prepared for either defenders, midfielders or forwards.

Great one-on-one session with Coach Ferdi. One of my sons best workouts on a while. Received some great technical tips. Can’t wait for the next training session. Very impressed.

We were on spring break and our son wanted some one on one training, Coach Ferdi worked around our schedule and provided some excellent coaching highlighting strengths and weaknesses and we walked away with some drills we can do at home to improve those skills!

Hernan (CoachUp client)
Coach Ferdi was great. After just one session I can see that my son will definitely benefit from the one on one instruction with Coach Ferdi. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game.
Michael (CoachUp client)
Great 1st session. Coach Ferdi was professional and provided an analysis of my strengths and areas needing improvement.
He also laid out a plan to get me to the next level.
I’m looking forward to my next session
David (CoachUp client)
Coach Ferdi is very passionate and knowledgeable in his craft. Within the first 8 minutes of the session he was able to pinpoint areas that needed improvement in my sons technical abilities. He quickly implemented techniques to improve our son’s kicks and follow through. The session was dynamic and engaging, keeping our son excited about the whole experience. 15 out of 10 would recommend. We will definitely be continuing with Ferdi’s training sessions!
Andrés F. Rincón /parent (Testimonial)
I’ve know Ferdi for several years and his experience, knowledge and passion for the game is what separates him from everyone else. Ferdi is a very focused, determined leader/coach/mentor and is very well respected by players and parents alike.
Andrea Patalini/ parent (Testimonial)
Coach Ferdi is absolutely the best: since we met him our son got more enthusiastic than ever and improved his soccer skills exponentially. Ferdinando has a great experience ( he played in major pro teams in Europe at the top level!); he has built a great relationship with the kids, they all look forward to seeing him at the trainings. We consider ourselves lucky to have him here in Sarasota!
Vicky Gee /parent (Testimonial)
My son was slowly losing passion in competitive soccer, then we took him to a summer camp with Ferdinando and in a couple of sessions he found his passion again. By the end of the summer he was faster than before, he learned many new skills and his vision in the field made him the best player in his team.
Michael Nwokeabia? student/athlete Elevation Prep Academy (Testimonial)
Coach Ferdy is a top coach. His willingness to go great lengths in order to improve his players is second to none. In all my years as a player, no coach has pushed me to elevate my standard a much as Coach Ferdy has. Not only is he an elite coach but he was also an elite player and knows what it takes to succeed at the highest level. His high-intensity sessions are meticulously planned and executed with precision and care. In addition, Coach Ferdy has many contacts in the world of football and was instrumental in my path as a player at Saint Francis College.
