Howard A.

I have over 10 years of experience training players ages 11-19yrs old. Many have gone on to play in Development Academies, National Premier Leagues and colleges.

Players will improve on skills and techniques of ball mastery, footspeed, and coordination. I coach club, high school, and college-level summer camps where I teach individual skills such as dribbling, 1 v 1 attacking and defending, protecting and passing the ball in pressure situations, creating chances and scoring goals.

I have several certifications including United Soccer Coaches National Diploma, USSF D License; and FYSA U10/12 Youth Development License, and Coerver Skills Youth License.

I played High School, Club, and College soccer in Jamaica and in the US. I started at Left Defense, Midfield and Striker. Selected All-State and All-Metro Conference .

My sessions are conducted in 3 phases:

1. Player assessment to determine skills and abilities

2. Training is conducted at a challenging pace as I coach using a series of exercises and drills to demonstrate correct skills and techniques.

3. Player Evaluation for reflection and self paced work.

My sessions will improve a player's ability to:
Shoot & Finish - improving confidence in front of the goal and the ability to finish from different angles with a range of power/finesse.

Movement, applying pressure, passing and receiving under pressure, control game tempo and ball distribution.

Speed & Agility - activities to develop "soccer-specific" speed, agility and to improve on balance and coordination.
