Experience Coaching or Training Athletes:
As a current professional soccer player with four years of experience at the MLS and USL Championship levels, I’ve spent years studying the game at a high level — both technically and mentally. I’ve trained alongside and learned from elite coaches, developing a deep understanding of player development, game analysis, and mindset training. I use that experience to help athletes improve their performance, confidence, and overall soccer IQ.

Levels Coached:
I’ve worked with players ranging from youth academy to collegiate and aspiring professionals. My focus is helping players bridge the gap between their current level and where they want to be — whether that’s making their high school team, earning a college scholarship, or going pro.

Coaching/Training Locations:
I currently train and mentor players in the Bay Area, primarily around Oakland and the greater Northern California region.

Age Groups:
Typically, I work with motivated players ages 12 and up, including high school, college, and early-career pros.

Athletic Accomplishments:
I currently play professionally in the USL Championship for the Oakland Roots, entering my fourth year as a pro. I was drafted 55th overall in the 2022 MLS SuperDraft by the Portland Timbers, where I gained professional experience with both Portland Timbers 2 and Crown Legacy FC (Charlotte FC’s MLS NEXT Pro affiliate).

At the collegiate level, I was a Division I scholarship athlete at Santa Clara University, where I helped lead my team to a West Coast Conference Championship in 2021.

Throughout my career, I’ve trained and competed with top-level athletes across the U.S. and developed a deep understanding of what it takes to perform consistently at the elite level — both physically and mentally.

Honors:
• 2022 MLS SuperDraft Pick (#55 Overall)
• 2021 WCC Conference Champion
• 4+ Years of Professional Experience (MLS / USL Championship)
• Division I Full Scholarship Athlete

What to Expect in a Session:
Right now, I offer online mentorship sessions through my website, where I work with players on the mental, tactical, and developmental sides of the game. These sessions include film analysis, mindset coaching, and recruiting guidance — helping athletes understand what separates the best players at the next level.

I’m currently expanding to include in-person private training, where sessions will focus on technical sharpness, game awareness, and physical performance. Players can expect a professional-style workout: starting with dynamic warm-ups, progressing into first touch, passing, and ball control drills, then finishing with position-specific scenarios and individualized feedback.

Whether online or on the field, my focus is always on helping players train with purpose, build confidence, and think like professionals.
