More About Coach Jake

I have coached at all different levels of Soccer and Goalkeeping ranging from youth sports, to high school. I am a "D" license. Currently I work for FC Dallas TRI Cities out of Johnson City, Tennessee. I am Goalkeeper Coordinator and work with all the teams. I also coach in the Pre-Academy. Throughout the years I have coached at Keeperstop, which is a goalkeeping company, working with all level and age players. I am the head coach for u13, u14 and u19 Boys Mass Youth District Select summer teams. I assisted in training the goalkeepers at Saint Raphael Academy. I also trained the Seacoast Benfica goalkeepers, while also working with New England Futsal Academy working with young players enhance there game. I have helped run college camps at King University.

I have played at all levels of youth soccer. I played Club for the FC Bolts Celtic Academy team. When I was younger I played for the Mass ODP team and was selected for the regional team. Currently Play Collegiate soccer at the Division 1 Level. During the summer I play for a PDL Semi-Pro team

All goalkeepers have different strengths and weaknesses, what I try to do is enhance those strengths and work on the weaknesses to have a well rounded goalkeeper. I strongly believe footwork is the most important thing for a goalkeeper to have and we will work a lot on footwork to make saves easier. Each session will focus on 1 or 2 aspects of goalkeeping, so that a player is not overwhelmed with too many new ideas but can work on them in a safe environment. I also work with field players to enhance the technical skills to be a great player

For field players I like to have a specific goal and area we want to work on either, first touch, dribbling, defending, finishing, or whatever the players needs are. Then we try to enhance those weaknesses session by session, growing into a complete player

Client Reviews

Had an awesome first session! Coach Jake is really encouraging and shows you exactly what to improve.

My son (12) loved Jake's coaching style. He's young and laid back which works well with my son. I think he will learn a lot..we only wish he was around all summer!

Excellent first session! Exactly what we were looking for. We are excited for the next session!

Our first session was fabulous! Hard to believe my 7 yr old could improve in just one practice but he definitely did. Jake did a great job with training drills that my son thought were pure fun. Recommend without reservation!!

My daughter had her first session and she absolutely loved it! Jake worked her really hard and introduced her to new skills and drills that she has never seen before. She can't wait until the next session!
