Gerardo L.

I’ve dedicated myself to coaching for about 4 years now, either private sessions, camps, youth teams, etc. I’ve also been fortunate enough to work with some professional footballers as well as college athletes. Although I may not have years of experience as coaching, I do have a lot of experiences playing at various different levels growing up in my career. From that I did gain knowledge that I can pass down to the next generation coming up aspiring to make it at a D1/D2 college or even at the professional level.

- 1ON1 = High attention to detail!!
Including; dribbling technique, passing technique, first touch, shooting technique, etc. Also varies on the skill level of my clients. If advanced then we’ll touch based on the things just mentioned but then will focus more on technical training or position based training. All depends on clients wants and needs!

- Small Group Sessions = High/Moderate Attention to Detail! Small group atmosphere allows a good amount of interaction between coach & player. Like any of my sessions this will include ball manipulation, passing and combinations between players, skills and finishing.
- Large Group Sessions = Low Attention to detail! These larger groups include skills, passing, 1v1, 2v2, small sided games, etc.

Duration of my training is typically 60 to 90 minutes. I try to make all my sessions fun and engaging but I also demand high intensity throughout my sessions. I like to have a competitive environment where kids can showcase their skills and push each other to be better.
