James Martini

I have coached athletes at the high school, club, and international levels. I’ve worked with boys’ high school teams, assisted in winning division titles, and trained youth players across various age groups. I currently serve as an assistant coach for Shorecrest Preparatory School in Saint Petersburg.

I’ve coached players of all ages, focusing on their technical skills, fitness, and game intelligence. I also played soccer in Italy while earning my master’s in sports management, working alongside top Division 1 athletes.

My certifications include the U.S. Soccer C License, NFPT Personal Trainer Certification, and Physical Education teaching licenses in New Jersey and Florida.

I competed at the high school, club, and international levels. In high school, I won a division championship at Fort Hamilton High School in 2015.

In 2018, I played soccer for Brooklyn College (NY), where we made a playoff appearance, losing to the eventual champions in the first round.

I also played overseas in Italy while earning my master’s degree through the Soccer Management Institute, where I trained and competed alongside some of the top Division 1 players from the United States. While there, I also won a university title.

These experiences helped shape my understanding of high-level competition and player development.
