Krystyna F.

I have a degree in Physical Education and have worked with aged K-12. I taught soccer to all of these age groups, starting from the basics of soccer. (Rules, how to dribble, how to pass, etc.)
I have also coached U6, U8, U10, U12, and U14 co-ed age groups. With these teams I taught everything from throw ins, to penalty kicks, to technical footwork. These teams were a part of the City of Rock Hill (South Carolina) recreation program.
I worked with a U16 NJ Rush girls team, specializing in transition play and small sided work. We focused on playing in small spaces and transitioning quickly from offense to defense.
I also worked with a U13 NJ Copa FC girls team, focusing on passing pattern play and getting the ball wide. My main focus, however, was player movements (i.e. where to make runs before, during, and after you play the ball).

I can worth with any age group, but I am particular keen on working with players who play offensive roles. I am a forward, so working on shooting, runs, touches, and the like are my specialty! However, I played center back for many years and worked with center backs in my coaching. I currently have a USSF F coaching license.

I am the current record holder in the Big South Conference for career points, goals, and game-winning goals. I received various awards, such as Big South Attacking Player of the Year (2012-13), Freshman of the Year (2011), All-Freshman Team (2011), and First-Team All Conference (2011-2014). After college, I went to preseason with the Portland Thorns. I then went to Finland to play in the Naisten Liiga with Merilappi United where I recorded 10 goals in 13 games. This year, I went to preseason with Sky Blue FC. I currently play in the UWS with NJ Copa FC.

My sessions would focus on specific needs of the player. The above sections are just an idea of what we would work on. After discussing what the player needs to work on, I could give you a more specific idea of what we would be doing during the session.
