I do my best to make my sessions enjoyable and effective. Ultimately I want my clients to succeed in their sport and reach their personal goals. I tailor their workouts based on their individual goals and basic understanding of the game. We must first build on fundamental skills and techniques in order to efficiently master top performance.

I incorporate a warm-up and cool down aspect into all my sessions because in order to continue with the program we must take care of the body by providing an atmosphere for success. I would start the session with a dynamic warm-up by using cones or a ladder so that the body can be put through different ranges of motion. After a great stretch and motivational talk, the athlete will be asked to go through various agility and strength drills. By incorporating strength and agility into the workout he or she will be able to increase performance exponentially.

The next part usually will be with a soccer ball. This is the skill section of the session where the client will be guided and coached on how the soccer ball moves in space and how best to control the soccer ball. They will be instructed to perform step-overs, turns, taps, and much more. Ball control is very important and the focus on ball control will be great so that the player can become comfortable with the ball at their feet. I like to use cone drills and quick paced situations so that the athlete can improve reaction time.

After performing ball control drills, dribbling through cones, and various fakes and turns, they will be put through a passing and shooting portion. I usually set up a small shooting goal and different shooting situations. At the end of the session they will be asked to incorporate everything they learned that day in a finisher drill where dribbling, passing, and shooting will be performed. We will end with a review on what we learned and I will answer any questions he or she has. I have a great passion for soccer and this is why I would like to ignite that same passion in others.

Happy with the 1st session!

Coach Marcos is a great coach... He's been working with my 9 year old grandson, who already has a passion for soccer. He's been playing in league play, but needed some one-on-one instruction to help him to continue to improve. Marcos has been very good in showing proper technique and repetitively working until he gets the correct form. Most importantly, Marcos is so highly encouraging. My grandson leaves each session very upbeat and truly believing that he is getting better and better because of Marcos' guidance and positive reinforcement. It's obvious from observing, that Marcos is totally dedicated to the improvement of the youth in this sport. In addition, the facility that he has is top notch with both indoor and outdoor artificial turf fields. My grandson looks forward to the weekly sessions we have booked and continues to show improvement each and every week. Thanks Marcos for all you do.

Coach Marcos is so good with my son. He is learning so much from him and has a blast doing it. I definitely recommend him to any parent that wants their child to get some one on one time playing soccer:)

This was my daughter's first year playing soccer and was a little behind the other kids on her teams. Coach Marcos really helped her skills and self esteem improve over the 10 lessons that we booked. She had been discouraged and unsure about playing again next year, but is now completely in love with the sport and ready for the Fall Season to begin. Coach Marcos is great with kids and we will absolutely book him again!

My son loved his lesson with Marcos.
Coach Marcos really does a good job!

I have had the pleasure of not only playing with Marcos at the D1 level, but watching him develop in to an outstanding trainer, coach, and ideal role model for the beautiful game- his passion will allow him to contribute directly to student-athletes on and off the field.
Marcos is an exceptional coach that finds a way to individualize workouts so that the player can find the best results. His experience as a player is an attribute that cannot be ignored. He is an outstanding soccer player and his drive to become better translates into his coaching style. I have played with him all my life and his leadership on and off the field is very evident. I am confident that anything that he does will be above and beyond!
