More About Coach Michael
Coached and trained youth players at Monmouth University’s summer soccer camps. Comfortable and experienced coaching all ages from U-4 to U-18 boys and girls. Played soccer at a very competitive level since the age of 6, giving me a strong understanding of where players should be at their age (factoring in where they want to take their career as a soccer player). As a trainer/coach thus far I’ve helped athletes reach their goals of making a new team (club, Academy, and Varsity), getting more playing time, and overall developing at various aspects of the game.
Coaching Experience:
Maestro Soccer Trainer
Legacy Premier Soccer Trainer
FC Berna Trainer
Flemington Rec & Travel Trainer
Played Division I soccer at Monmouth University
Athletic Scholarship
Played at PDA (Player Development Academy) as a pre-academy and academy player from ages 10-18.
National Champion
High-School Varsity Player
As a coach, I like to focus on helping each athlete (every session is personal and customized to what’s needed) develop the skills needed to be successful on the field. I focus on drills that utilize technical and tactical game like situations. AT GAME SPEED. Coming from a Division I background, my experience enables me to help develop the player’s footwork and speed and agility to be affective at the next level. Being a utility player and moving positions constantly, I gained experience playing and teaching every position on the field. As well as training physically, I ensure all of my players keep a happy, healthy mindset through a positive environment. The most important aspect of developing as a player is through confidence.

Esther (CoachUp client)
Coach Michael is a great coach! He is knowledgeable and encouraging, and my son truly enjoys working with him! After the session, my son showed me the new techniques he learned from Coach Mike and was excited explain why he had not been able to kick the ball a certain way before. Highly recommend!
Tim (CoachUp client)
Coach Michael is great! Passion for the game shows in his training techniques. His attention to details is a plus while performing the drill to help make adjustments as needed. My son also took to him very quickly which is a plus as Coach Mike had his attention thoughout the entire session.
