More About Coach James

I have experience coaching youth, collegiate, and professional players. I founded McGhee Soccer Academy (IG @mcgheesocceracademy) and specialize in creating tailored training programs that address individual challenges, enhance strengths, and help players achieve their goals. I also offer group sessions and drop-in training to provide diverse development opportunities.

Played professionally for California United Strikers (NISA) for 2 years.
Played at Colorado Mesa University (D2) for 4 years, starting and making the NCAA tournament all 4 years. Was named a 2nd Team All American and Academic All American my senior year.
Grew up in Gilbert, AZ and played for Arizona Arsenal Soccer Club for 8 years and won 2 State Championships.

Each session is designed to emulate a professional training environment, with a focus on the unique needs and goals of each individual. The first session is a dicsounted evaluation session, priced at $30. During this session, we discuss the client’s goals, assess their strengths and weaknesses, and identify areas for growth. At the conclusion of the evaluation, we collaborate to create a tailored game plan designed to address their specific needs and help them achieve their goals.

This game plan includes a customized package of training sessions—offered individually or in small groups—with options for video analysis, mobility and stretching exercises, mindset and visualization practices, and personalized homework assignments. Every aspect of the plan is designed to enhance technical ability, build confidence, and empower players to succeed both individually and within their teams.

Client Reviews

Very impressed with Coach James and how he is training my daughter. She is excited to go to training and to learn from and work with James. His sessions are high intensity, highly technical and engaging. Definitely recommend training with Coach James.

My son has had several sessions now with Coach James and has noticeably grown quite a bit in his speed and footwork. He feels more confident out on the field and is playing at a higher level. Will continue the sessions as they are helping him grow in his abilities. Thanks Coach!

James is great! He is patient, encouraging and makes technical training fun for my son. It's obvious he takes the time to establish a training plan and really maximizes that hour they have together. He is responsive and flexible with scheduling as well. My son is always excited to see James and always asks if he can stay longer. We would definitely recommend James to anyone looking for that extra attention and supplemental training.

Amazing! Did such a great job with my son, was very patient and knowledgeable.

Coach James is so patient and skilled. My son loves learning from him. We are so happy we found him

Coach James is very professional and punctual my son was very impressed with his level of expertise and execution. I stayed for the whole practice and can see my son getting better as the session went on. Thank you coach for doing and loving what you do. We really appreciate your time.
