Kurtis G.

Coaching for the past 7 years, originally from the UK, I have had the pleasure of working in Europe and North America. Through this I have coached Rec through College level. Academy coach of Liverpool's youth academy program 2012-2014 alongside working as an Assistant coach for Liverpool Hope Universities Collegiate team. Working with the ages of 4yrs old and upwards.

Playing experience of 15 years, 6 years within the Liverpool youth academy. 2 years within Tranmere's youth academy. Regional High School finalists for the Northwest of England. Player at College level for Liverpool Hope University.

Session plans will depend on the participant(s), I can specifically cater to each individual to meet their requirement. I can provide if wanted a virtual copy of a session plan(s) no problem. It will be easy/ clear to follow.

A typical first session involves a general idea of soccer training. This includes technical work that is incorporated with agility, fitness, speed and footwork. In our first session I encircle key elements of soccer such as; Passing, dribbling, 1st touch, finishing, shielding, and more.

Such a session allows me to get to know the player and his ability I am coaching - his/hers likely tendancies and abilities. From this we can now enter more specific work to sharpen up elements of a players game that is lacking and to build upon that which the player has already developed.

My goal is to maximize a players potential, this includes developing that which is already there and establishing that which is not.

A few key areas I work with players towards are:
- Preparing for an upcoming tryout or season
- Becoming a more efficient contributor to your current / future team
- Aspirations to play at HS, Collegiate or Professional level
- Perfecting skill and/ or technique
- Most importantly, playing with more confidence and ENJOYING the game of Soccer!
