I have experience coaching and training athletes across a wide range of competitive levels, including working with high-level players who have competed in top professional environments such as Major League Soccer, the English Premier League, La Liga, and Ligue 1. This exposure has allowed me to understand elite performance standards and apply those principles when developing athletes at all stages.

I bring a unique perspective to coaching, having been a professional athlete since the age of 18. Over the past 5 to 6 years, I’ve played for numerous MLS organizations and elite academies, as well as top-level teams in Europe. I’ve been on trial with clubs like West Ham, played with fourth-division teams in Spain, and represented the U.S. U-17 National Team. I was also called into the Trinidadian National Team. Now, I bring these elite-level insights into every training session, helping young athletes, men and women of all ages from 8 and up, understand what it takes to excel at the highest levels. My background as a player in these professional environments allows me to connect with each athlete’s drive, tailor their development, and prepare them for success in their journeys.

In every session, I design a structured, professional training experience that balances physical challenge with mental development. I begin by assessing your child’s current skill level and goals, ensuring the session is tailored just for them. We progress through a dynamic warm-up that primes their body and mind, followed by precise, sport-specific drills aimed at refining their technique, boosting agility, and enhancing game intelligence. Throughout, I offer personalized feedback and encourage a growth mindset, so they understand not just how to improve, but why each element matters. I also integrate mental preparation, helping them build confidence, focus, and resilience. At the end of each session, we reflect together, and I provide a roadmap so they know exactly how to build on their progress, ensuring that as a parent, you can trust their development is in the hands of a dedicated, professional coach who knows what it takes to reach the next level.
