More About Coach Gino
3 years of personal training for young males ages 6-15. Usually consists of 1-on-1 training or group sessions with 4-10 players (2014-Present).
- This personal training is conducted at Bicentennial and Jaycee Park in Livonia, Michigan. Position-specific training is conducted for each player in a group setting to build chemistry and group skill. One-on-one training is conducted when a group is unavailable and I use position-specific training for the individual player.
- The training is very local. The players who I worked with are from a local club (AC Milan Detroit/LCSC) where I played my youth soccer years at, as well as my younger brother who currently plays for AC Milan Detroit.
1 year of coaching assistance at AC Milan Detroit for youth players (2016-2017) as well as coaching aid at St. Mary's High School Soccer camp.
- Ages 5-10 for AC Milan Detroit and St. Mary's soccer camp, both boys and girls.
- I specialize in coaching both defensive and offensive positions, and ages 10-17 years old.
High School Experience:
-Four years of high school at D1 school (Livonia Stevenson in Michigan), Two years varsity. I played left outside back for my first two years, as well as center back. Occasionally I played left forward or striker. (2010-2014)
College Experience:
-Two years playing at Schoolcraft College in Livonia, Michigan (Regional Champions, Division Champions, Conference Champions in the NCCAA) Ranked #6 in the Nation, second year ranked #8 in the nation. At Schoolcraft I played left back, left mid-field and left striker. I played for Schoolcraft in 2014 and 2015.
Club Experience:
-Club soccer ranked #7 in Michigan (U17), 7 years at WAZA FC. I played with WAZA F.C. until 2015 and attended training sessions with WAZA FLO PRO, the professional indoor soccer team.
Positioning:
-Most of my life was spent in the back line, center back or left back. Much of my college and high school experience was attacking, either mid field or high striker.
In a typical training session with me, players can expect 10 minutes minimum dedicated to warming up and preparing their body for the session. This includes jogging, stretching, physical exercises like push ups, sit-ups, etc. Next, we focus on passing and possession to warm them up mentally. After that, we go into position-specific training. Using cones and training nets I conduct exercises to hone in specific skills with game-level intensity and pressure.
Sessions will be tailored to each player and/or group.
Depending on the skill level (First session focuses on truly finding the skill level of the player(s)):
-Finding the players strong points, weak points and positioning on the field of play.
-Emphasis on the most important aspects of the players position, and how to utilize their skill set to improve their effectiveness in their position.
-Physical strength and determination during play
-Craft-fullness, getting confident on the ball
-Movement on the field and positioning during game situations
-First-touch and keeping the ball close to the player during game intensity.

Client Reviews
Robert (CoachUp client)
First session with Gino was fantastic. Worked with our son on defensive strategy and game flow. My son was super impressed. Gino was patient but played fast. I am thrilled with his level of experience and knowledge. We immediately booked 4 more private lessons with him. Great instructor and really understands the game of soccer.
Melissa (CoachUp client)
My son only had one session so far with Gino but he said he knew what he was talking about, was great at explaining it and was very easy to talk to. He is looking forward his upcoming lessons.
Bob (CoachUp client)
Gino has done 2 of the 3 sessions I booked for my 10 year old. I've asked him to focus on body mechanics, shooting and finesse.
My wife took my daughter to the first session while I was away on business so I didn't know what to expect in today's 2nd session.
It was cold and raining hard today. He offered to reschedule or play in the rain and cold like you would in real game conditions. It didn't rain it POURED and he stuck it out with my daughter for the whole session like a champ.
She came out wet, muddy and cold while at the same time improved. He is really good at identifying both strong and weak areas. My daughter is looking forward to a dryer week next week but has already asked for more sessions with him after we get what she asked for help with down.
He is very patient, makes it fun for her while getting her skills in check. I highly recommend him.
My daughter is ten and on her first Select team but I could easily see him working very well with older more advanced players as well. We will certainly be working more with him when the first three sessions are over.
Gino sends an overview of what they worked on, why the new skills are important and an idea of what he is going to do in the next session to continue putting it all together. Another very cool way to track progress.
