More About Coach Miguel
I currently coach with Inter Atlanta FC, working with U8–U9 boys focused on technical development, confidence, and decision-making. My sessions emphasize ball mastery, first touch, and composure under pressure. I’ve led youth players through small-sided training environments, game prep, and growth-centered drills that build both skill and self-belief.
As a personal trainer, I’m building First Touch Soccer ATL, offering private and small-group sessions for players seeking to improve their control, touch, and soccer IQ. I also possess my U.S. Soccer Grassroots License to advance toward the D License.
Former competitive player with strong technical foundation and game understanding developed through years of club soccer. Known for leadership, tactical awareness, and consistent performance as a midfielder and defender.
My background as both a player and coach allows me to connect with youth athletes — teaching them discipline, confidence, and creativity with the ball.
A typical session is 60 minutes and starts with a high-energy warm-up to engage coordination and confidence. We move into ball mastery drills (inside/outside touches, changes of direction, 1v1 moves), then progress into first-touch and decision-making exercises under pressure.
Each session finishes with a small game or challenge that reinforces confidence and composure. My goal is for every player to leave feeling sharper, more confident, and inspired to train with purpose during the week.

Client Reviews
Jessie (CoachUp client)
Coach Miguel has been working with my son, Roman, through a 10-session program, and in just three sessions we’ve already seen incredible progress. The improvement in Roman’s confidence alone has been remarkable. He’s showing a new sense of belief in himself, and that shift is directly tied to Coach Miguel’s encouragement and teaching style.
What stands out most is how genuinely invested Coach Miguel is in Roman’s growth — not just as a soccer player, but as a young athlete building stamina, resilience, and self-confidence. He has a calm, patient, and caring manner that makes Roman feel supported while still being challenged in the best way. Each session is purposeful, engaging, and tailored to help Roman push past his limits without feeling overwhelmed.
It’s rare to find a coach who combines technical skill, dedication, and emotional intelligence so seamlessly. Coach Miguel clearly cares about the kids he works with, and that care translates into real, measurable progress. We’re only a few sessions in and already beyond impressed. I would highly recommend him to any parent looking for a coach who truly makes a difference.

Our 8 year old is thoroughly enjoying working with Coach Miguel. He communicates in a way that makes sense and the drills are fantastic. Our son comments how much fun he has at his practice.
