More About Coach Marcelo

I was born in Brazil and always have played soccer. I played college and Pro in Brazil. Lliving and coaching in USA for more than 15 years.
In 2003 after my graduation in Economics at University Federal de Vicosa, I moved to the USA to search for a better life and opportunities.
I have been a USSF Referee and Coach since 2005.
I really like private coaching; It is very valuable to the client who enjoys and learns much more than if he/she were in a group. The coach has time to explain technique in greater detail and is not distracted by others players. The attention is always focused on the client.
I have been training athletes for the last 15 years.
I have trained people from all ages and backgrounds. Some really top Physical level and goals and others just average ambitions.
My goal is to provide the expertise so the client can take matter into his own hands and learn how get in shape and consequently more health.
I want to mix light weight Gym train with outdoor or indoor high intensity workout.

Client Reviews

Coach Marcelo has done an amazing job coaching my youth athlete. He has consistently provided coaching content that was relevant and age appropriate for a U11 player. The skills he has gained has make our player more successful in games and getting noticed by coaches for his talents. Coach Marcelo was collaborative with the coaching goals, communicated in a timely manner, and was able to adjust his routine for specific player needs. Truly a 1:1 coaching experience to gain skills but also overlap with other students allowed for the player to test the skills gained in a competitive environment while still being coached and encouraged. Book an appointment, you will be satisfied with the results.

Had a great first session. Very approachable, personalized approach to coaching. Super fun session and awesome drills.

Marcelo is an excellent coach. He provides great technical training. Marcelo can effectively train high school athletes and help elevate their game. My son has trained with him in individual and group sessions and has learned a lot. Marcelo is great to work with. Highly recommended!

We really like Coach Marcello's approach. He jumps right in to challenge my son with a variety of drills and is quick to identify areas of opportunity. He's very nice, but also direct with his feedback, which my son says he prefers. Overall, we're very happy with our experience.

Coach Marcelo was great! My 14 year old son completed 10 sessions over the summer as he was preparing for high school try outs. Never having played Club Soccer - only Rec Soccer for 8 years - Marcelo was able to quickly assess and direct my sons training sessions accordingly and maximize his output.

The key areas my son felt Marcelo helped him on the most were with his dribbling skills and weak foot training.

Marcelo is highly recommended if you are looking for someone who is a great communicator and teacher for your child at any age.

My son made his high school JV2 team and I can say for a fact that Marcelo's coaching helped him achieve his goal.

My son really enjoyed his session with Marcelo. He found it both useful and inspiring and looks forward to practicing his new skills. We found the booking process easy considering we booked from our home in Norway.

Great knowledge - my son is willing to put in the work and coach Marcelo is an endless resource to keep my son improving. Highly recommend.

Marcelo is a very friendly and knowledgeable coach. He challenges my son to be better and has helped him learned a large variety of skills. We are excited to continuing training with him to see how my son grows in his skills.

My 10 year old son just finished his 2nd session with coach Marcelo and the results are already noticeable. Marcelo has a great way of breaking down moves and concepts so that my son can pick them up quickly. I’ve already noticed a substantial step up in my sons technique, skills, and using is off foot more. We have 3 more sessions, but will be purchasing more after that. With club tournaments and season coming up, the training with Marcelo is helping to take his game to the next level! I highly recommend him.

Silas Davis

Coach Marcelo is highly recommended on this platform, so I signed my daughter up for lessons with him. I am glad I did as Marcelo is able to quickly figure out what my daughter needs to work on and provide her with training tips to help her excel in areas she is not proficient with. I would highly recommend Marcelo to any athlete looking to take it up another level.

Coach Marcelo is great! My 15 yr old son just finished 3 sessions with him and definitely wants to continue. Coach Marcelo is honest but also encouraging. I appreciate that he gives my son both positive feedback and also let's him know what he should work on. My son has played club soccer for years but has still learned some neat new moves that he wouldn't have learned without Coach Marcelo. I also appreciate how responsive he is with me (great communication).

Coach Marcelo was great. He worked well with our daughter and showed her some great skills to further her development.

Coach Marcelo is great with my daughter she is very shy and timid around people, but he is taking his time with her. After just a few sessions we have see great improvement and cant wait to see how she does with more.

Can’t say enough about Coach Marcelo. We have previously used different coach’s for private trainings and they don’t compare. The amount my daughter learned in one session was astounding. He is professional. His knowledge from his soccer career experience has carried over into his trainings. Each session was different with new skills and challenges. We are excited to see the growth and development in our daughter from
Continued trainings!

Marcelo , has done amazing things with my daughter, in even a short amount of time. Her confidence is boosted, she’s engaged in learning, her foot skills are improving and her overall attitude has towards learning has changed. She is enjoying , and seeing benefit, from both the private and group classes. We are so appreciative of Marcelo

Was a fast start in the session, focusing on footwork and technique. Our daughter enjoyed a session filled with encouragement, while being challenged.

Marcelo is a great coach! My wife and I hired him to help our 11yr old daughter with her technical abilities, ball handling skills, and confidence. She learned and progressed so much in the 5 short lessons she had with him. He gave great feed back that we were able to take and apply.
Marcelo is passionate about the game, and we highly recommend him as a private coach.

very good

Outstanding coach!

Marcelo has been coaching my son for almost a year. He is incredibly patient, pays attention to detail, and provides constructive feedback. Marcelo has taught my son numerous good moves and tricks, which have greatly contributed to his development as a player. Thanks to Marcelo’s guidance, my son successfully joined a competitive team. I highly recommend Marcelo to anyone looking to elevate their soccer game to the next level.

Thanks Coach - Dino loved it and we'll practice up for the next session.

My daughter had a great session and learned a lot. She also felt inspired to keep working on her training on her own.

Marcelo really engages with my kids. In just a few sessions, we're seeing lots of improvement in confidence and in their ball handling skills. Really appreciate the work he's put in to help my kids.

Coach Marcelo has been an amazing coach for our 10 year old boys. They are loving their weekly sessions and we can easily see the improvement in their performance. I would highly recommend Coach Marcelo!

I bought a 3 session pack and my daughter has attended two so far. Coach Marcelo has impressed with his knowledge and skill, all while being very patient. After the first session, I feel my daughter settled down and had a great second session. Looking forward to her final session and scheduling more for the future.

Coach Marcelo was very nice and easy to work with. He is also a patient and great coach. My son really enjoyed the training session. We will look to book more asap!

Excellent trainer with amazing feedback.

Coach Marcelo was really great! We had several sessions last summer and my son enjoyed working with him. His training and technique are very unique. I will book Coach Marcelo again and definitely recommend him to anyone.

Daughter really enjoyed training with Marcelo. He possesses a wealth of knowledge which allows him to put together a varied training program.

Coach Marcelo has been working with our daughter for several months now, and after each session we see significant improvement in her soccer skills. We highly recommend him.

Our first session was amazing. Marcelo was super supportive and encouraging. There was a lot of information and hands on experience. Can’t wait to see how this impacts my sons confidence and ability.

Experienced. Patient. Positive attitude. 👍

We had a great experience working with Coach Marcelo. We did small group training for three 4th grade boys who are on the same club soccer team. They did a total of 5 session.

Just as I had hoped, being able to work in a much smaller setting really helped refine and grow skills for the boys. They had so much fun working with Marcelo and were always asking about when the next session would be.

Coach Marcelo was very helpful. The girls learned a lot of new moves and had fun.

Excellent first lesson! Very friendly and great at instruction

Coach Marcelo is exceptionally patient, working with a very raw and new player, and has taught more of the basics of the game in a few hours than our athlete had learned all of his first season. Highly recommended.

He was patient, detailed and my daughter really enjoyed and got a lot from the session.

For only meeting once so far, he has done an excellent job working with my son. My son left the practice excited to keep learning and growing.

Marcelo has been the best addition to my daughters training! We are so lucky to have him work with her one on one. Is been just what she’s needed to improve her skills and boost her confidence in games. She’s always excited and looks forward to every session with Marcelo and takes it all in.
In her game yesterday she assisted with a goal by doing a phenomenal corner kick with a perfect curve that went right to the top of the goal box.
Something her and Marcelo have been working on. It’s been amazing to see such improvement in a short period of time. We’re looking forward to many more sessions with Marcelo and can’t wait to watch her in action again!

Coach Marcelo has been fantastic. He is a great instructor and super patient. We love the fact he stresses positivity.

Great coach. Very personable and has lots of knowledge. My son has been excited about what he's learned after each session. We look forward to continuing to work with Marcelo!

Marcelo was very encouraging with my son and helped with with skills from the beginning of the lesson.

I had a great experience with Coach Marcello! As someone who was introduced to soccer in my 20's I was unsure of where to go as a young adult student looking to improve. Coach Marcello was very welcoming and had experience coaching with students of all ages. I would recommend him to any player who wants to get better!

Coach Marcelo is great! He is great with my 12 y/o and very inspiring.

The boys really enjoy these practices and are learning a lot!

Highly recommend coach Marcelo! He’s an experience and knowledgeable player and coach. He assessed my son’s skills and was able to create a development plan that has helped him improve. This has led to more confidence and greater skill set. We plan to continue with coach Marcelo and recommend you connect with him too! Thanks coach!

My boys have really enjoyed training with Coach Marcelo. In the sessions, they rotate through different skills and training exercises to keep things interesting and fresh. They especially like working on dribbling skills with Marcelo. Highly recommend working with him.

Coach Marcelo is fantastic! I would highly recommend booking with him.

Coach Marcelo has been fantastic! During our very first session, our daughter told us that she has learned more new skills in that first 1 hour than she has this entire past season! We booked 3 more sessions right away! We look forward to seeing how her new found skills will help her in her upcoming futsal season!!

Outstanding coach who pushes my child to work hard in a fun and positive environment. Highly recommend!!

My 12 year old son has had two sessions with Coach Marcelo. Coach has a great understanding of the game and was quick to identify areas where my son could improve, such as running form and new skill moves which my son has already used in a game. Its great to see immediate improvement. We look forward to continuing to work with Coach Marcelo.

Marcelo is great with our son and really seems to care about his overall outcome of trainings. Marcelo focus on all the areas we ask help for and seems to have a real passion for soccer and training.

Coach Marcelo has been great! My son has shown a huge improvement in the short time they've been working together. He's much more confident and his ball handling has greatly improved.

(no details provided)

My two boys are really enjoying working out with Coach Marcelo. He is very good at teaching in a way that is instructive and fun. He does a great job pushing the boys while keeping it enjoyable. After three sessions with Marcelo, my boys are improving and they each scored their first goals. We are looking forward to continuing our work with him.

Coach Marcelo’s coaching style doesn’t only cover basic soccer style, tricks, foot work, BUT he also ensures athlete’s whole well being. He covers all aspects for your child to be successful in this sport. He coached my son to do helpful warmups to make sure he doesn’t strain any muscle and ensure longevity in his soccer career. He also covers tips and tricks when handing opponents. I would totally recommend him.

Great first session, has a good way with the kids and works well on the technical side - my son really enjoyed it and learn a lot

I see a lot of improvement on my kids after having some practice with Marcelo. I will keep working with him.Thank you

Xander has learned much from Marcelo who is very positive and is good at helping a beginner goalkeeper. Marcelo has met my expectation and is a good individual coach.

Coach Marcelo is a master of soccer technique! After just three sessions my son’s ability to control the ball and defeat defenders has increased exponentially. I also appreciate his emphasis on the value of conditioning and stretching. If you’re looking for a coach to get you to the next 2-3 levels, Marcelo is your guy. I strongly recommend you contact him.

Just had my first session for my 11 year old boy. I gave Marcelo a quick intro on the things I think my son needs to improve on and my son said a couple things. Marcelo picked up on those things and more right away and zoned in on each skill within the 1.5 hour session. I was really impressed and it was really helpful for me to watch also cause I was able to pick up on some things that I could do with him daily at home to improve his game.

He also used some technology to track where my son is at on the first session and we will be able to see in numbers and graphs his progress as time goes on. I thought this was a really valuable tool to have as a private coach. It’s important to be able to show that the training is working and also where to focus attention on as time goes on. I felt that Marcelo was very professional, skilled at soccer and coaching, and just a great teacher. I’m really excited to continue working with Marcelo going forward.

Nicole and jamison

Coach Marcelo has been amazing! From first interactions, he was kind, supportive and honest. My son enjoyed his training so much that we have extended indefinitely.

Marcelo is a great coach. He is very friendly and professional. He was able to quickly identify the areas to improve for my son. His training is very unique and easyto follow. We are very impressed with the first session, looking forward to more training sessions.

Coach Marcelo has been great working with our 12 year old to further develop his skills. He is playing up with a new team, so we wanted him to feel confident, and the extra practices have helped immensely. Thank you coach for being dedicated to youth development.

My son was at a performance standstill and having a difficult time converting on goal when opportunities presented themselves. Coach Marcello provided thoughtful critique watching him during a game and put into action a training program that has resulted in greater confidence, better positioning and two goals in his next match. Very impressed with his detailed focus on technique and execution that his team coach isn’t able provide due to limited 1-1 time.

Coach Marcelo is awesome! We will definitely continue going back to him. My daughter soccer skills will definitely improve with his guidance!

Coach Marcelo is very friendly and professional. He takes time to explain things and has a very good understanding of soccer. He has the ability to see what a player can do, and work on skills that player needs to improve. His training is unique and I would recommend him to anyone. We look forward to more training sessions for our Son.

Pushes the kids to keep practicing and improving their skills.

Outstanding. Daughter grew tremendously in just 2 sessions. Will continue to lean on Marcelo's great coaching

Marcelo is an experienced and thoughtful coach who is great with kids of all ages

My child really enjoyed his training session with coach Marcelo. My child has played a decent amount of soccer, but really only has basic skills. Marcelo gave him a good mix of basic and more advanced skills to practice. We are excited to continue and improve.

Coach Marcelo is awesome! My 10 yr old was struggling with ball skills and how to use her left foot. He has the tools and patience and is a great coach. In games my daughter is more confident with the ball and is really understanding how to be lighter in her feet! A+

Coach Marcelo did a fantastic job working with my 9 year old son. My son loved every minute of the session and is feeling so much more confident about playing soccer. Coach Marcelo has really inspired my son to become a better soccer player and I look forward to watching them work together in the future!

Coach Marcelo is great! My son has only had one session so far, but he left feeling excited, motivated, and more confident. We are excited to continue our sessions!

Coach Marcelo does a great job on clearly explaining each drill. It was my first time training with him and I really enjoyed it and I feel I will get better as I continue training with him.

I’m an older player and met with Coach Marcelo for a post COVID skills tune up. He was able to quickly identify several weak points in my current skill set and offer relevant feedback to improve my game play. He was patient and offered the right balance of verbal feedback along with field drills to assist me in adopting the improved soccer technique.

So far our son is learning a lot from the sessions with Marcelo. Foot skills, field awareness, leg strength…all improving. Easy to work with.

Excellent coach. He not only teaches skills but provides training on how to become fit for the game by practicing certain physical exercises that strengthen legs, ankles, stamina and agility. A wonderfully personable coach who is caring and brings out the best in his pupils.

Coach Marcello's the best coach we've ever had. My daughters are using necessary & useful skills that are never taught. Also, he teaches these skills in realistic situations.

Better than just that though is he is fun & easy-going. My girls always look forward to their next session with him, and he does a great job of sharing what they can work on at home with us in the meantime.

Coach Marcelo has helped my son tremendously. Not only his playing skills have improved in a short period of time, he has gained a great self confidence, that spilled to aspects of his life outside soccer.
Coach Marcelo is very knowledgeable, and has a positive and fun attitude.

Excellent first round of training on very cold and rainy night. We'll be scheduling more sessions soon.

Great Coach

Coach Marcelo was great!
Very knowledgeable and my son had a lot of fun!
We will be booking more sessions to keep improving.

Coach Marcelo did an amazing job with my 8 year old daughter. She felt super comfortable and really liked the challenge.

Great, positive coach. Enjoyed our training session!

Coach Marcelo is fantastic! He coached my son and daughter on their fundamentals and has made a huge improvement in just one session. They thoroughly enjoyed their session, and are excited to return! He worked with each child at their own level and at their own pace and still kept the session moving. I am hugely impressed with Coach Marcelo and will certainly sign up for more sessions!

We were visiting family during vacation in Vancouver, Washington, and wanted to have some training during our trip for our two boys (ages 14 & 12). Our eldest plays at the ECNL level and our younger at the State league level, so we were looking for intense one-on-one sessions at an affordable rate. With Coach Marcelo, we got both! Coach Marcelo runs his practices with a high level of intensity focusing on the whole player, both offensively and defensively. While our boys mainly play a defensive role, they do get the opportunity to be in an offensive position. Since the focus of being a well-rounded player, diverse in one's playing skills was emphasized during training, this will benefit them down the road and was refreshing to see coming from a trainer. A final attribute about his training sessions, is that Coach Marcelo continually took stretching breaks throughout the sessions instructing the boys on the importance of whole body training while focusing on the technical aspect of the game. My wife and I would highly recommend Coach Marcelo to anyone looking to take their game to the next level.

Coach Marcelo is great! I have thoroughly enjoyed all of my coaching sessions with him. He is clearly a very skilled and experienced soccer player. He has taught me several tricks/fakes to enhance my skills and has been encouraging throughout the whole process. No matter how experienced of a player you are, there is always room for improvement and Coach Marcelo can help take you to the next level.

Our son had a good session with Coach Marcelo. He seems to know a lot about everything. We liked that he could tell our son could do more fitness workouts, and because of that, did not push a complete 90-minute session.

Coach Marcelo is great, my son said he gets lots of knowledge from the training with coach Marcelo, he can improve his daily practice. Great experience!

Our first session with Marcelo was great! My son enjoyed going over technical aspects and getting insights that he definitely wasn’t getting just playing on a team. Very happy with Marcelo and our sessions.

Marcelo was great to work with. My kids really enjoyed his session and learned a lot.

Coach Marcelo ran a solid training session, packed with many touches. It was really helpful to have feedback on technique and learn new ball skills. Will book more sessions with Coach Marcelo to improve my game.

My son (15) has had two sessions so far and has really enjoyed working with Marcelo. He has been encouraging and motivating and seems to have covered a lot that has been just right for my son. He’s been challenged and happy with the progress he has made already. We will definitely be continuing.

I have had two sessions with Marcelo and I have already seen improvement and have gained more confidence. He maps out his sessions to where we are productively working on different skills throughout the entire lesson with plenty of time to stretch and drink water. I am excited to continue working with him and grow my game.

Coach Marcelo and my daughter had their first session last week. Although my daughter was very tired after the session, Marcelo really pushed and challenged her physically and mentally, which she really needs going into club spring season. I am going to schedule more sessions, and I certainly would recommend him for your kids.

Good technique and knowledge of the game

(no details provided)

Coach Marcelo was excellent. It was obvious that he was very knowledgeable about the techniques he was training and broke them down and explained them clearly. He kept the sessions fun and active and seemed to know exactly how hard to push my son so that he was challenged, but not too hard to burn him out. I would highly recommend Marcelo!

Coach marcelo was great my son enjoy the training and also learned a lot it was helpful and fun

My son had a great 1st session with Marcelo. His training style made it fun while learning important skills and how to use those skills effectively. We're looking forward to the next training sessions with Marcelo.

Top notch training! Marcelo is super Friendly and good communication skills with my players, he knows how to push your limit to overcome your best abilities. Definitely hiring him again for my team! Thank you!

Enjoyed working with Marcelo!
He quickly identified areas of improvement in my son’s game and worked with him to get there. His sessions are intense but fun, keeping my 8 year old engaged at all times. What I liked the most is that he has a thorough approach: individual technique, strength/ endurance and , most important, putting it all together into a vision of the game. Highly recommended

He arrived on time to the session, was very professional, and knowledgeable. He combined endurance training with ball technique, this included psychology of the game with team dynamics. It was an amazing experience! Highly recommended!

Marcelo was great with my so Gabriel. Hitting a lot of different skills and pushing him to be better! Definitely will continue to have him as his coach!

Marcelo knew with confidence how to connect with our son. A very positive experience. Marcelo is a true soccer ambassador! Lisa in Portland, OR.

My son (15) really enjoyed his first lesson with Coach Marcelo. He felt Coach quickly identified areas for him to work on and ran through some useful exercises and drills that would help him improve. Unfortunately, he's had a couple of injuries so he's had to hold off on doing more but once he's back to normal he wants to pick back up with Coach.

Marcelo did a great job with my daughter. I look forward to seeing her progress and development.

Coach Marcelo was a fantastic coach! My 12yr old son really enjoyed his first session with him. He was not only a great soccer player, but was very kind, enthusiastic, patient, and fun coach! My son learned a lot in one session, and he can’t wait for his next session with Coach Marcelo. I highly recommend him to any players who are eager to be better at his/her soccer skills. Thanks for the great session, Coach Marcelo!

Great coach for our 9 year old daughter - he’s very patient and encouraging!

My son has learned a great deal from the sessions. Marcello is very great at identifying areas of needing improvement. I plan on continuing having my son work with Marcelo.

Coach Marcelo has true passion for the sport and brings that passion to his coaching. He brought new perspective to my game, assessed my skills, and tailored our sessions to meet my goals as a player. He pushed me, never letting me get away with less. I appreciate working with Coach Marcelo and look forward to our training sessions. I would highly recommend him in the journey to build your game.

Coach Marcelo helped my son (15) identify his weaknesses and he was encouraged in a positive way to work on how to improve. He interacted professionally and with encouragement. My son is looking forward to his next session!

Marcelo is very knowledgeable and passionate about the game. He challenges you and provides the positive and constructive feedback during every drill. Overall, Marcelo is a great coach who only wants his players to get better. I definitely recommend him.

Coach Marcelo is an amazing Coach. He offers lots of drills throughout the session (helps keep the 1 1/2 hour session fun). He is super positive and offers lots of encouragement. I would recommend Coach Marcelo to anyone that is looking to sharpen their soccer skills.

We had our first session with coach Marcelo, and I found it to be very useful for my 14 year old son. Coach Marcelo is very kind and polite, and he connected well with my son, assessing his existing skills, and focusing on areas of improvement including dribbling, ball control, amongst others. We decided to book more sessions, and I believe my son will benefit greatly from these sessions. Thanks coach Marcelo!

We sought out private soccer lessons for our 7 year old, who has been playing rec since he was 18 months old. I can say that without a doubt, he has learned more about the fundamentals of dribbling, passing, and shooting in just a few sessions with Coach Marcelo than in any other period. His coaching style is clear and consistent in terms of what he wants the player to learn, but he also keeps it fun, which is equally as important to us.

I would be happy to be a reference if you have questions.

Coach Marcelo was great with my 3 boys!
Great techniques and motivation for the boys. Look forward to seeing him again!

After 1st training session, my son has already learned some new techniques and look forward to next session. I'd recommend Coach Marcelo to anyone.

Coach Marcelo has been an incredible resource for my son, who is 10. My son came to Coach Marcelo with some bad habits but with a desire to improve. In just 4 weeks, I have seen my son embrace the coach's instruction and work toward breaking those habits. I'm signing him up for more sessions because my son sees the benefit and has connected more with his joy of soccer due to of Coach Marcelo's positive coaching techniques.

Marcelo helps you develop all skills, and is great for any skill level.

My 14 year old soccer player is really enjoying these classes and learning a lot. My son picked up soccer a little later and is in need in more focused attention to his play and technique and general fitness. Coach Marcelo knows what he is doing and my son has tons of respect for him as a coach and soccer player. It seems like a great fit for us where we really want to help my son get to the next level which was harder to get in his group couching and rec or futsal playing experience. Looking forward to more sessions with Marcello on turf and on grass! As a parent I found Marcelo very communicative and reliable with a lot of goodwill and experience to share with my son. Cannot say good enough things about this experience. well worth the $$.

Our experience with Coach Marcelo has been great, he is currently working with my 7 yr old son who has only played rec ball up to this point but with Marcelo's help I can see more competitive soccer in his future. Coach Marcelo has worked on all parts of his game and introduced a lot of great drills and skill building techniques. Rain or shine Marcelo is out there with him which I really appreciate. Marcelo has great communication and is always prompt, I would recommend him to anyone looking for great coaching!

Coach is amazing!!! He worked very closely with my daughter on technique and 2 days later she used everything she learned and played her best game ever and scored goals!! Thanks coach we look forward to the next session!!!

We just met Coach Marcelo and he was amazing with our 10-year old club soccer player. He explains things well, demonstrates techniques and pushes our son in a positive way. He is an excellent Coach and we highly recommend him.

Marcelo has been working with my son for a few weeks now. His confidence and ball handling skills have improved drastically can we look forward to more sessions

Marcelo is helping my HS daughter learn how to be a forward and play the field more successfullyafter she spent years as a GK. he is patient with her during this challenging transition. His feedback is very direct as well as positive. After 2 sessions she is handling the ball better. Thank you Marcelo!

Coach Marcelo was a great coach. After the first training session, my son learned the proper techniques in controlling the ball. Coach Marcelo gave my son the confidence that he can improve his game. Most importantly , the Coach was patient and was detailed in explaining what he wanted in the training. My son enjoyed listening and learning what the coach had to say. Coach Marcelo is one of the best coach. If you want to improve your game, I would recommend Coach Marcelo.

I had good experience with Coach Marcelo. I haven't had private coaching before, so I didn't know what to expect, but he took me through some good exercises and pointed out helpful tips along the way. My favorite part of the session was doing one-on-one work at the end, where I got to see impressive technical ability from Marcelo, get pointers on my own moves, and learn some new ones from him.
In the end I really got what I was hoping for, which was an "ah-ha!" moment where he pointed a critical flaw in my approach to one-on-one's that I would never have been able to notice myself that really opened up my ability. I've been able to apply these tips to my games and really benefited from it so far. I'll definitely be doing more sessions when I can.

My daughter really enjoyed the training session and is clearly learning new skills! Thanks!

Coach Marcelo was very friendly and patient with my daughter. He took extra time to figure out her skill level and goals so that moving forward she can have a plan designed just for her. We would highly recommend Coach Marcelo to anyone looking for private lessons.

Coach Marcelo worked well with my daughter. He is very technical on how to do the skills the right way and also very positive with my daughter to correct her bad habits. Our first training session went great and look forward to working with him more.

Coach Marcelo did a great job with getting my son going on practicing after he had an extended break. We needed a quick refresher to try out for club soccer and I am happy to report my son made the team. Coach Marcelo was patient and showed him some drills he could practice at home. It was a great experience.

I liked Marcelo attitude toward helping me. I enjoyed my training session and learned a lot.

Once a mother told me her son was much more confident to play the game. I felt very happy with it. Thank you.
