Jay B.

I have been coaching for over 10+ years now, I have worked with kids of all ranges & abilities. I have coached both boys & girls ranging from 3-18 years old. I originally started working with a local development Centre near London, England, where I coached kids who were looking to play for Professional Soccer Academies. I most recently worked with a club in Larchmont in New York & worked with a number of very good soccer players. I am now currently working with Fox Soccer Academy in New York & also have my own company called Soccer Development Hub. I have a number of qualifications including Uefa & USSF badges, a scouting & analysis diploma & also a diploma from the Barcelona Innovation Hub for Soccer Coaching.

I started playing soccer ever since I was a young kid & have continued to play my entire life. I played at a very good level as a youth player, I played for Cambridge United FC Academy when I was 9-12 years old. I then also had brief spells with Luton Town & Ipswich Town. I won a number of trophies playing including 4 county cups which is the equivalent of a state cup in the US. I stopped playing competitively when I was 19 as I then got into coaching & moved out to the US.

A typical session with me will be focused on what the player needs to develop. I.E if the player needed to work on their shooting, I would start off by working on their technique & then build the session & intensity up to make it more game realistic for them. I always try to keep the players engaged by making every drill competitive so they are competing against themself.
