I have roughly two years of coaching experience. I have been coaching the fundamentals of soccer in "group sessions" with a program that focuses on ages 2-8 years old since March of 2021. Since I am currently working with younger soccer players, i’m required to be highly energetic and engaging during every session. I’m looking to coach ages 8 to 14-year-old soccer players.

I have ten years of experience playing competitive soccer. I primarily played for my school district back in California (CIF) from middle school through high school. During middle school, I won multiple defensive awards until high school where I was transitioned into an offensive player. I captained my Jr and Sr years, leading my team to CIF playoffs and a league championship match. My senior year I earned first-team all-league. My primary positions included right-wing, full back, and occasionally center mid.

I want to build from the fundamentals of the sport, to whatever level my clients are trying to achieve. My training will include a variety of drills accommodating the needs of each player. I want to not only focus on improving my athletes effectiveness in their specific position, but also help them become a more well-rounded player who is an asset to any team they play for. Sessions will be planned and set up before the arrival of clients. Each session you can expect a warm-up that includes running, stretching, and getting numerous touches on the ball. Warm-ups will be followed by a specific set of drills that target the goals that we are looking to achieve. Sessions will include a lot of repetition so we perfect technique. Each session will close out with cool-down stretches and a verbal run-down on what the athlete did well and needs to improve on. This will then lead us to discuss what we will work on in future sessions.
