More About Coach Michael
I have over a decade of experience training athletes ranging from youth to professional levels, with a specialization in soccer performance and long-term athlete development. I have served as Director of Performance for Louisville City and Racing Louisville Academies, Performance Coach with Angel City FC, and am currently active as a Sports Scientist with U.S. Soccer. In addition, I own and operate Roman Sports Performance, where I work with athletes across multiple sports to build strength, speed, power, and resilience. I regularly coach athletes from as young as 13 years old through college and professional players. I hold certifications including CSCS, XFS, and a USSF C Coaching License, which allow me to combine science-based performance training with sport-specific coaching to maximize results.
Michael Roman is a former multisport athlete who competed in soccer, cross country, and track during high school. He won three USYS National Championships with Real So Cal and represented Cal South, Region IV, and the U.S. Youth National Team. In college, he played at UCLA and the University of Louisville, where he also captained the Ventura County Fusion. His athletic background provides a strong foundation for his coaching and performance training expertise.
Every session is tailored to the athlete’s age, sport, and individual goals, but clients can expect a structured, high-energy training environment. We typically begin with a dynamic warm-up to prepare the body, followed by mobility and activation drills to build stability and reduce injury risk. From there, we progress into speed and agility training, strength and power development, and conditioning elements as appropriate. I emphasize technical execution, movement efficiency, and proper progression, ensuring athletes are challenged but also building a foundation for long-term development. My sessions balance intensity with education, so athletes not only improve performance but also gain knowledge of how to train their bodies effectively.

Client Reviews
Erin (CoachUp client)
Extremely knowledgeable and professional. Had a ton of experience with return from injury. Great work that that is tailored to the athlete.
Sydney Leroux, Forward for Angel City FC (Testimonial)
Me and Michael have known each other for a long time, back at our UCLA days. I have enjoyed him so much, especially as RTP and I was coming back from multiple injuries. He’s just amazing to be around and he can play some good footy so that always helps.
Ali Riley, Defender for Angel City FC and the New Zealand Women’s National Team (Testimonial)
Working with Michael has been just such an amazing experience. We met when I had a pretty bad injury and he did my return-to-play and I never would be back on the field if it weren’t for him. Just the professionalism to have a coach not only be able to help me with the strength and conditioning side but to be a soccer player himself makes such a big difference and the hours we spent on the field, in the gym, with the ball... just every touch, every shot, every tackle, every rep in the gym was just so intentional to help me get back to doing what I love and back on the field. And so I am forever grateful for Michael Roman and any player that gets to work with him is really really lucky because he will get you to the highest level you possibly can be at and push you to be even better.
