Unfortunately I suffered torn ligaments in my early 20’s, cutting my career short. I bring my vast playing experience into my coaching, and always Play with the kids I train.

The first session will always be an assessment session. I need to see where they are in regards to their technique with dribbling, receiving, passing, movement, shooting... all of the basics.
From there I will hone and sharped what they are already good at, while at the same time develop their deficiencies.
Details, details, details. I will teach your player to feel and know the tiny details that make a world of difference.
Every session will include footwork and passing. Depending on what they are lacking, I will tailor make drills to help them learn the tricks and habits that helps take them to the next level.

My biggest, and most important lesson, will be teaching them that Discipline and Hard Work is FUN! Hard Work Works!
