Leonardo M.

Experience coaching kids ages 7-9 at summer camps.

Experience training high school, college, and academy athletes.

Typically train players from ages 12-18.

After competing my early stages of youth soccer in Kearny, NJ, I moved on to Ironbound SC where I led my team to the U16 National Championship. From there on I’ve played for two Brazilian fourth division clubs, Nova Iguaçu FC and Anapolis FC. During my time in Rio de Janeiro I was taken under the wing of experienced manager and former player Carlos Vitor, where I learned his training techniques. I then spent a season in Huesca, Spain, and learned from former Laliga player Juanjo Camacho. During this process of seeking a professional career for the wrong reasons, I encountered Jesus Christ and realized that the purpose of everything that I’ve learned and been through is not only for my benefit, but for the edification of the next generation. I desire to take my knowledge of the game and my life experience to not only develop players, but young men and women who encounter God’s love, understand their identity in Christ, and become grounded in it.
