Ian A.

I am a soccer performance coach with extensive experience training youth, high school, collegiate and adult players. I specialize in developing the physical qualities that transfer directly to soccer, including speed, acceleration, strength, power, agility and conditioning.

I am the Co-Founder and Head of Performance at On Track Soccer in New Jersey, where I work with players through private training, small groups, team sessions and performance programs. I have also delivered speed, agility and strength & conditioning programs for soccer clubs and organizations throughout New Jersey.

My coaching combines strength & conditioning principles with an understanding of the physical demands of soccer, allowing each athlete's training to be tailored to their age, level, position and individual needs.

I have a lifelong background in soccer and athletic performance, with extensive personal experience in strength training, running, conditioning and endurance-based competition. My own training continues to include strength, speed, running and hybrid fitness, which gives me first-hand experience of the physical demands I ask of my athletes.

My coaching philosophy has been shaped by both my own athletic experience and years of working specifically with soccer players to improve their physical performance.

Every session is tailored to the athlete's age, current ability and goals. We typically begin with movement preparation and activation before progressing into speed, acceleration, change of direction or power work while the athlete is fresh.

From there, sessions may include soccer-specific strength, plyometrics, sprint mechanics and conditioning depending on the athlete's needs and stage of development.

My priority is always transfer to the field. Rather than simply making an athlete tired, each session has a clear purpose: helping them become faster, stronger, more explosive and better conditioned for the demands of soccer.
