More About Coach Joe
At age 16, I was cut from my high school JV soccer team. I was a serial bench warmer the next two years. I decided I was sick of it and wanted to make big changes in my life. I studied endlessly to find the best information possible, then dedicated myself to taking daily action to be the best I can be.
Fast forward and at age 21, I achieved a lifelong dream of being a pro soccer player, playing for IFK Maryland in Baltimore. I then went on trials overseas in Holland, Denmark and Sweden.
Soccer is my passion in life, and I want to help others to become the best version of themselves on and off the field.
I have expertise in nutrition, sports psychology, speed and athleticism development, strength training, gymnastics, basketball, mobility, flexibility, recovery methods, leadership, yoga, interpersonal communication, concentration, and cognitive enhancement.
NASM Certified Personal Trainer. Former coach of 2005 MD Rush Boys team. Personal trainer and soccer director at Gold’s Gym in Crofton, MD.
Played HS at Severna Park
Pro soccer player for IFK Maryland
Trialed with professional teams in Sweden, Holland and Denmark
Played pro futsal games with Baltimore Kings
I will talk with my athlete and find out what their goals are as a player and then create an individualized plan to improve their strengths and weaknesses.
I can also work to help them improve their off the field habits such as mindset, nutrition, watching video analysis etc.
I can show them what it takes to make it to a college or pro level.

Vincent Palmeri/ Player (Testimonial)
Coach Joe was awesome to play for. He helped us learn new things and play better. Coach Joe also created a team environment where making mistakes was ok as long as we leaned from it. I can't wait for Coach Joe to come back from Holland.
Xianlei Feng/ Parent (Testimonial)
Joe is the best coach that my son has had. The active boys together require a lot of attention. Joe is always very clam and very patient to the boys, even in the game. He doesn't only focus the game score, he encourages that children to perform at their very best level. He provides the correct aspects involved in the winning and losing of competition. Being a very good soccer player, Joe has the professional skills and a lot of experience that guarantee the quality of the training team. He encourages the boys to love sports, to do hard work, to respect each other, and to show the positive reinforcement for team mates. He lets the parents respect our kids and trust them. He gives the boys the opportunities to make the best choices based on situations by themselves. He helps the boys to grow and develop, and lets them have more confidence. The kids like their coach so much! They're all looking forward to his return. Just want to say thank you very much, Joe.
