I have worked with several young kids to young adults with goalkeeping training. Not only was I a starting goalkeeper at Merrimack College for three years I also ran most of the goalkeeper training session with my fellow teammates. I have helped coach at the John Smith soccer camp for two years where kids had a tremendous experience where they've learned many new things to become a better keeper. Merrimack College helped run the North Andover camps where I would take all the young goalkeepers everyday and ran different sessions with them.

Between the ages of 15-18 I played for the New England Revolution Academy team, where I also got to train with the professional team. I played for Merrimack College where I have achieved Northeast-10 Goalkeeper of the year 3 years in a row. I was selected as All-Region first team for 3 years straight. I am a two time All-American for D2. Where I also broke many record for the school program. At the moment I play for WesternMass Pro. A professional team that competes in the American Soccer League thats based out in Ludlow Mass.

I am a big believer that to be a great goalkeeper you need to have the perfect footwork. For a keeper the most important thing is how fast can you move from one goal post to another by using the perfect foot technique. Once you master that down then the diving and the catching routine comes into play, making your life in goal much easier and more enjoyable for yourself. Then well start getting into more of the challenging things such as crosses and finding that perfect distribution for a striker making a run to goal.
