More About Coach Julio

I have experience coaching with various age groups, from ages 5 to high school. I have worked various summer camps in which I was in charge of training highly skilled groups, both boys and girls in Santa Clarita, Ca as a staff member of both The Master's University and College of the Canyons summer camps.
I have worked with u10 and u8 boys teams and girls teams and have worked with a group of 5 to 6 year olds. i have also been assistant coach at two different high schools, Rosamond High School and West Ranch High School. I have a Bachelors degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in teaching and coaching. I am very eager to work with passionate soccer players of all ages and of all skill levels to help them develop and reach their goals.

High School:
-4 years of varsity soccer in high school.
-Team captain junior and senior year.
-All-league honorable mention junior year
-All-league 1st team and all-valley honorable mention my senior year.
College/University
-Competed for two years at the community college level at College of the Canyons.
-Played at the university level for 2 years at The Master's University, a member of the Golden State Athletic Conference and the NAIA.
-Played 1 year on the Long Beach State Men's club soccer team.
I have been playing soccer for 25+ years. Throughout those years I have played in various club teams at youth levels and previously had a tryout with Marquense, a professional team from Guatemala. I have also have a background in cross country, track and field and have training and knowledge in the field of strength & conditioning and fitness.

Each session would depend on the skill level of the client and the skills that the client wants to develop. The very first thing we would do would be to talk to the client and set specific goals that they want to achieve. Once that is set, sessions will typically start with a short warm up and then directly jump into foot work drills and agility drills. Developing quick feet and being able to have sudden changes of pace and direction is crucial for a high level soccer player. Ideally the goals is to get as much time on the ball as possible so we will work on passing and dribbling as well. While we are working on these skills, a fitness aspect will be incorporated so we won't only work on skill, but also to increase stamina. These elements of training will be the staple of each session. The rest of the session varies on what the client wants to focus on; for example if the client plays as a striker, we will work on things like diagonal runs, checking, finding space, and the timing of their movements, while also getting as much shooting in as possible. At the end of the session there will be a short time to juggle and cool down and here the client will be able to ask questions, address any issues, and make suggestions. Ideally, after the first session I will have a good idea of the skill level of the client and have an understanding of what they are trying to achieve so by each following session I will have a concrete training plan that will be specific and unique for that client.

Julio is great at simplifying skills to my son. He’s drastically improved his soccer abilities.

We couldn't have found a better private coach for our 10-year-old daughter as she transitioned from recreational to club soccer. Julio is kind, patient, and incredibly encouraging. He was able to quickly assess her skills and immediately start focusing on her areas of need. Soon after she started working with Julio, her coaches, teammates, and even teammates’ parents noticed that she had made great strides in her development. We highly recommend Julio to anyone looking to improve their game!

Coach Julio was an awesome coach to work with. He definitely knows the sport and helped my daughter improve her skills. We hope to train with him again soon.

Julio is great with kids. I have a 6 and 5 year old, with no soccer experience. He has been patient with them even when they are not at their best. He has inspired them to learn and I can see the improvement in their skills.

My son love Coach Julio. He is so patience and great to work with.

My kids finished their first sessions before Christmas, Coach Julio was very patient and understood their needs and weaknesses. Will book more. Thanks, Coach Julio.

My son started taking private lessons with Coach Julio during the Covid pandemic and I feel fortunate to have found him. My son’s technical skills really improved during our weekly sessions and Coach Julio did an excellent job of explaining the strategy behind the techniques. Coach Julio is a natural working with children and he did an amazing job of building a rapport with my son. I think the best testament to his skill as a trainer is that my son recently asked if we could do private trainings every week and when I asked why, he simply said, “Because it’s fun!”

Julio is a great coach and trainer. He is working with my son on speed, agility and ball handling and my kid really enjoys it. I have been to a few different trainers and this is the only one that my 13 yr old was excited to go back to.

coach Julio is a great coach. on our first session we worked on ball mastery and i feel i have improved a lot.
Mady

Very nice and a great coach 😁

Coach Julio has been great. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and organized. My son really enjoys the one on one training he has been doing. In the short time that he has been training with Coach Julio, his soccer coach has already noticed the improvement in his ball control and confidence with taking defenders on. Even though we're driving 30+ minutes to the training sessions, Coach Julio is definitely worth it, and my son is looking forward to continuing to training with him.

My 9-year old Son loves Coach Julio! He is very friendly and patient with great training drills. We are looking forward to continuing to train with Julio.

Coach Julio is great, he’s really helped my daughter’s skills improve. In the four sessions we’ve had with him she has improved her skills, speed, quickness and touch. He’s very patient with her and she enjoys her sessions. We have already purchased a second set of sessions for her and hope to see continued success.

Coach Julio is a great coach! He's able to customize his coaching to our son's U16 elite skill level. He worked with him on the fundamentals and finer points of shooting and finishing in three sessions. Each session building on the last. Julio not only coached, but also participated, doing some of the drills with him. Sam really enjoyed it!

Had only one course but it was great and helpful

Great coach for my 9 year old! Julio has a calm but enthusiastic demeanor and is encouraging and detailed in his drills. The sessions have been fun and very useful, and my son has shown noticeable improvement.

Awesome coach. Very friendly,patient, and skillful. Highly recommended!

Coach Julio is excellent! From the first session with my daughter, he has helped take her soccer skills to the next level. She loves working with him. We highly recommend Julio!

Really good I was stressing in the beginning on how bad I was doing but he told me to go slower and I was getting the hang of it

Coach Julio has been great! In just 3 sessions I've seen improvement, and a huge growth in confidence. Thank you Julio!

Coach Julio is so great. He has really taken his time to listen to our concerns and questions about what are our daughter’s strengths and weaknesses as a player. He is so patient and spends time correcting and advising with every drill. What else can I say other than Coach Julio is AWESOME!

Coach Julio is great. He always starts off with a quick warmup, which is key for players avoiding injuries. He coached my 8 year old son on exactly what I asked for: opposite foot passing and shooting, ball control, dribbling, and improving his goal shots...and then some. Coach Julio is perfect with kids, laid back, always giving positive reinforcement, and knows just how to communicate with kids to have them perform the drills. I initially signed Julian up for three sessions, which I highly recommend, but will be continuing on with Coach Julio going forward. Coach is always prepared and flexible with scheduling too. AAA+++

Julio was great! Very positive and encouraging with excellent technical training

(no details provided)

We had a great experience with Coach Julio. He was always at the field, set up and ready to go when we arrived. He identified the areas our son needed to improve and did specific drills to focus on those areas. He was encouraging to our son and we would definitely use him again.

Coach Julio did a great job with my 7 year old. He was able to assess his abilities and work on skills that would help him improve. The flow of the practice was great, he covered several areas of skills in just one hour. I feel like my son improved after just one session. I am excited to continue to use him.

Great instructor and trainer.

My son already had 5 sessions with Coach Julio. He really enjoyed working with Coach Julio. I was very happy with the intensity of the session and how Coach was able to break down and explain the proper mechanics and technical aspect of the game. Great coach!!! highly recommended!!

after a few sessions my daughter learned new ways to control the ball and new techniques that were never showed to her, so far soo good.

Coach Julio has been very patient with my 8 year old in teaching him fundamentals and giving him a base for soccer. I would highly recommend him.

Coach Julio was very technical. Also he made the session fun and we had a good time while still working hard. Very nice and supportive.

Julio is spot on with his coaching. My 11 year old son has only had two lessons and I’m amazed at how much he’s learning! So thankful for Julio’s passion of soccer and teaching young kids!

Great coach and patience

Coach Julio is prepared for our son’s sessions. He is technically skilled and a excellent motivator and communicator . Our son is appropriately challenged and engaged by Coach Julio from the moment our son steps on the soccer field . Coach Julio listens to us parents too and personalizes our son’s training sessions to improve our young child’s developing soccer skills including decision making on the field . We don’t hesitate to recommend Coach Julio and we look forward to the next training session .

Fantastic Coach!

Coach Julio is a great coach. He tailors his practices to students needs and really advances their skills. He has always been on time having all of his equipment set up by our agreed-to start time. He communicates and works around our busy schedules to find times that work for both of us to meet. I'd recommend him to anyone.

We have an 11yo daughter in AYSO Extra. She is very enthusiastic to learn/grow and needed help strengthening her foundational skills. Before booking our first session, Julio was timely with communication and answering questions. At our sessions, he's been well-prepared, arriving early to set up. He communicates well before and after, always explaining what he saw and worked on. During the training, he was very friendly and encouraging and our daughter has been very comfortable with him. I love that he explains the purpose and "why" for each drill. In the first game our daughter played after working with him, she was much more confident (1v1 dribbling against defenders, field awareness, and shooting). It was a drastic improvement already. We look forward to continuing to work with Coach Julio!

Already seeing improvement!

My daughter’s training with Coach Julio has been great ! I have seen constant improvement in her soccer skills and Coach Julio is always pushing her to do her best in a positive I’ve way, I couldn’t be happier with his training sessions !

Coach Julio has been a great help for my kid. Coach was able to to quickly assess a weak spot and immediately adjust and correct. As a result, the rest of the drills and instructions for that session were focused on developing mechanics to improve. Exactly what I was looking for...basic skills refinement and target areas to improve.

Julio is very patient and encouraging during the training sessions. Overall, I am very happy to have him training my children. I have worked with other soccer trainers for my children and like Julio the best.

After a couple training sessions with coach Julio, we already see a huge difference in our 7 years old girl.

Great session with Coach Julio. He made my son comfortable and genuinely worked to improve his soccer skills.

Julio is awesome! He has a super positive attitude and the training sessions are challenging, fun and have definitely sharpened up my skills already. I've had an awesome time in just a couple of sessions already and am looking forward to more!

Coach Julio was outstanding. We had the attention of the kids and helped the kids work on their power kicking. We dined up for 3 session and will be doing more after we are done. I will definitely recommend coach Julio.

Coach Julio was everything we had wanted in a private coach for our son, Jaden, and we look forward to hiring him again in the future. He complimented Jaden on his speed, which loosened him up in a positive way, and then taught him how to slow things down and use his bursts of speed tactically. He also taught Jaden a new perspective on defensive positioning, including always driving the attacker to the outside and waiting for the opportune time to strike. It was a very productive one hour session and our son had fun the whole time! :)
