Hayley G.

I have 7 years of coaching and private training experience. I have coached club and high school. At club level, I have coached for Slammers, Strikers, and LAGOC at the ECNL, flight 1, and flight 2 levels. I coached high school for three years; two years at Long Beach Poly on the boys program and 1 year at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa with the girls side. While coaching, I had simultaneously been developing athletes on an individual level with 1 on 1 and small group sessions. My athletes are both male and female, I have athletes of all ages, and all levels, from beginner to professional.

I have 22 years of playing experience. I was captain for 2 years for my youth club, MVP and First Team All-League winner in high school, Undefeated and national championship quarterfinalists 2 years at university, top goal scorer, top all around points, and All-Team accolades in the UWS. I have played in Switzerland and Spain for top clubs and wish to continue playing abroad some day!

A typical session would start with 5-10 minutes of speed, agility, and reaction (for appropriate ages), approximately 10 minutes of ball mastery and introduction to new skills to begin mastering. Since I plan my sessions uniquely for each individual, the remainder of the time will be spent on one or two athlete specific focuses (turns, passing, change of pace, change of speed, finishing, IQ training, etc.). With about 15 minutes left of the session, I will then progress those focuses into tactical training where they can then build off of the session focus into a game like scenario adding finishing and distribution elements. My goal is to train my athletes as practically as possible. I want all of my athletes to learn, develop, and progress during my sessions (not just get sharper touches around a few cones). I deeply believe private training is a piece of the puzzle for the best all around athletes. My sessions will be complimentary to my athletes playing style, level, and potential so they can immediately begin to use what they learn in my sessions in team practices and games!
