I have been coaching/training athletes for 3 years. I have coached at the club (Classic 5, 4, 3, 1) and high school level (3A, 6A) . I have worked and coached in a couple camps as an assistant coach/head coach such as Ralph Lundy Soccer Academy, Nuno Piteira's Soccer Experience, and FC Barcelona Escola (2014, 2015). I usually work with athletes 10 and up. I have moved around from u11, u12, and u14-16. Currently, I hold the USSF NATIONAL "E" License and working on making my way up.

I have been playing soccer since I was 5 years old. I have played in many club teams ranging from classic 4 to R3PL. I went on to play high school at Providence Christian Academy (Lilburn, Ga) and was a 4 year starter in the center midfield. Received rookie of the year my freshman year (2006) and ranking second in the history of the men's soccer program with 33 goals/33 assists. My next steps were college ball where I represented Presbyterian College (Clinton, SC) for 4 years (2009-2013) under Bret Boulware. Received offense player of the year in 2011 and Dean's List in 2012. Once graduated, I picked up coaching immediately. Went onto play Left full back for the Atlanta Silverbacks Reserves under Alejandro Pombo in the summer of 2014.

my sessions consist of a proper warm up to get the body as a whole warm followed by a progression of exercises depending on the topic. My sessions focus on improving technique, the athlete's mental game, and understanding of the game. I love to work on first touch, 1-2 touch, passing, speed and agility, dribbling, 1v1 attacking, 1v1 defending, and shooting on frame (free kicks, corner kicks, penalties). Sessions run from 1-2 hours
