John M.

My name is John Morales, a Miami-born soccer coach with 5+ years of coaching experience, 13+ years of high-level playing experience, and 4 years of one-on-one and group training. I grew up playing club locally before representing the USA internationally, competing in major tournaments, playing MLS NEXT Reserve and First Team with Miami Rush, college soccer at Atlantis University, and now semi-professionally in UPSL. I’ve coached at Soccer Five, Super Soccer Stars, and Albion SC, working with players from toddlers to 24-year-olds. My coaching style is versatile, problem-solving based, and mentality-driven—I do whatever works to help each player improve. Results matter: I’ve helped players reach Inter Miami Academy, college programs, and top academies. As a young, active player with US Soccer C, D, and Grassroots licenses, I bring energy, modern methods, and real-game insight to every session.

Receiving my diploma for my coach D and C license. Coaching a EA team. Playing internationally semi professionally and helping every student that I have come across.

Every training session is different because every player is different. Sessions are fully customized based on the player’s position, goals, and areas for improvement. The first session is always an evaluation—I take time to get to know the player, understand their position, and discuss what they want to improve. I then assess key aspects of their game such as technique, decision-making, movement, and mentality. From there, I create a specific lesson plan tailored to their needs and development goals. This plan is discussed with parents so everyone is aligned and working toward the same objective.
