More About Coach James

I have been coaching for over 4 years. I've worked with kids from the age of 5 all the way to to their 20s. The athletes I worker with have varied from recreational players to the professional level. I have gotten my E license for coaching and am working on adding more as I have time. I have experience in individual and group training sessions as well as the previous 2 years I was coaching at Fierce United in Wells Branch

2019 I played for the Chattanooga Red Wolves

2018 I went and played in Australia.

Spent 2.017 playing in Sweden for IFK Kumla.

2016 I played for FC Cincinnati

In 2015 I played for the Carolina Railhawks

In high school I was an All South recipient at Chapel Hill High School which is one step above All state. In college I was a two time first team all conference award winner at UNCW as well as a NCSAA Third Team All American and a Second Team College Soccer News All American my senior year.

For most of my sessions I will be focusing on the technical side of the game as in individual sessions that's most of what you can do. At the same time though I try to teach them why what we are doing is important and where in the game it my be useful to use.

Client Reviews

My son really had a great session with coach James. He said he learned a lot in just that one hour.

My 13 year old son loves working out with James. James has done a great job of assessing his current skill level and developing a program to help him improve. Based on our experience, results and the overall enthusiasm of my son I Highly recommend James.

My daughter’s first session went great. “I enjoyed the session and he was very helpful.” Since her first trainer moved away, it has been difficult to find a good fit. James is what we have been looking for.

My daughter loved working with Coach Jamie. Her footwork really improved in just three sessions.

My daughter and I were very happy with her first session with James. It was exactly what she needed. James gave my daughter and I some great advice and encouragement. We look forward to her next sessions.

Coach Jaime has been great to work with and extremely flexible with schedules considering his own is very busy, even driving up to our area to train. He is training our son, U9 this upcoming fall, and has helped him with many of the areas we have been struggling, keeping a focus on ball control/passing/balance. Our son has already shown improvements in these areas, which to us are more important than striking, etc. after only 3 sessions. If you are looking for a trainer who will increase your childs control skills, Jaime is your guy. Looking forward to seeing where our son is by the fall season.

Coach Jamie was a wonderful instructor and my daughter loved his style. She is a 'show me' type of player and he did just that. He was able to translate his experience and talent to her learning style and she was already utilizing new skills before the end of the session. We have already booked more sessions and are looking forward to all of them!

I'm working with Coach James to prepare to play D1 soccer when I start my college career in August. After only one session I know he is the right trainer for me and because he knows the environment in going to be going into, he is going to be able to get me prepared and ready for my next set of challenges. Really looking forward to working with him this summer!

Coach James really bonded with my son. He knew exactly what drills to work on and he was able to demonstrate and critique my son so that he can improve his skills. I already booked additional sessions. Thank you for your help.

James worked great with my son, the drills were perfect for his skill set to improve upon his game. He was fun and explained what he expected of each drill. Brandon was very excited to have and continue to work with Coach James.

Coach Jamie is a very knowledgable coach who draws on his many years of coaching as well as his extensive soccer career to try and share some of his experiences. I am a professional soccer player and coach at coachup and I train with Jamie during our off season. Jamie provides me with valuable suggestions on form and has great drills that address specific weakness in my game. He is incredibly passionate and his love and knowledge of the game is evident in his sessions. I would recommend coach Jamie to anyone looking to improve their game or renew their passion for the game.
