Hervé D.

With more than 12 years of coaching experience now, coaching at every level, I am currently the u16 Boys Academy Head Coach of the MLS Club Orlando City SC here in Orlando. I’ve coached college for the University of Chicago, going to the final 4 in my two years with them. I coached Development Academy, former DA, with FC United and Sockers FC, in which we beat multiple teams including Barcelona u19, and developed players into youth national teams. I also coach pro players such as Chris Mueller (Orlando City SC + National Team), Eric Leonard (Forward Madison), Casey Short (Chicago Red Stars + National Team) & more during their off-season.

I played semi-pro in New York.
I ran track for South Africa at u17.
I’ve won multiple championships as a player and as a coach.
I graduated second highest in my grade for my UEFA B license in Germany amongst coaches from top clubs in Europe such as RB Leipzig, Leicester City, Chelsea, and New York Red Bulls. Along with that, I hold a USSF B license, USC Premier License, and many other certifications, updated CPR and injury prevention certified.

I design a session based on what the client desires but also what I observe. What we want to do is strengthen the player's weaknesses whilst improving their strengths. My session is intentional by every inch, created to not only expand your playing abilities but give you creative ideas as well.
