Jose Daniel S.

National "E" License certification by U.S. Soccer Federation (STYS)

College Graduate in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Science from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I completed a research project on the biomechanics of a free-kick. In this project I studied human movements, center of gravity, and anatomical positions that will allow the athlete to be more efficient when taking a free-kick. Breaking down a video from three different angles into frames to allow me to check the biomechanics of the kick. Muscles involve, follow through, foot and head positions, and so forth.

A typical session will begin by having the athlete (*Depending on age):
-Light jog to increase heart rate (one to two minutes)
-Following the jog there would be a dynamic stretch (five to ten minutes)
-Ask the athlete if there is something in particular he/she will like to work on
-Otherwise, I will assess the athlete's agility, speed, first touch, reaction time and endurance accordingly.
-Note which of the above assessments will need improvement, and go from there.
