More About Coach Mike
I currently coach for Doxa Youth Soccer Club, as well as Rye Youth Soccer Club, and I also have an after school soccer program in Sleepy Hollow
I have played 7 years professionally. I played 2 years in Portugal in the 3rd and 2nd division there before coming back to New York and signing with New York Redbull 2. I was captain that season and had the most starts and appearance during the season. I then signed for Sacramento Republic where I won a Western Conference Regular Season Title. I then signed for the Colorado Rapids in the MLS where I played 17 games for them. I next went to Phoenix Rising where I won a Western Conference Post Season Title. And last year I played for OKC Energy.
I like to start the session off with technical training; either working on touch, control, or foot skills. Then I like to move into a little bit more complicated drill focused on working on some aspect of the players game (Passing accuracy, turning, 1v1 defending or attacking, etc) and by the end of the session I like to work on some type of finishing drill or some specific technique drill that the player needs

My son went for his first session today and absolutely loved it. He did drills there he has never done before with his travel team. I look forward to booking more sessions and seeing my sons confidence and skills grow!
Luis (CoachUp client)
Very patient. He is great and helped my son with the basics. Can’t wait to see how much progress he makes! Looking forward for my son to be working with him more often!

My son really enjoyed the session with Coach Da Fonte on his first session today, it is intense, useful and fun, as my son described it. I get to sit inside the lobby area in front of a big window to watch my son having the lesson. Since it is indoor, my son can also get trained up during the off season cold months. My son is relatively good at foot work so he likes the challenge from Coach DaFonte’fast pace drill, but he also likes coach Steve’s drills on passing at different angles and body condition which is harder for my son but is good for his development. My son (and I) definitely wants to go back for more training, even though he has to forgo sleeping in on a Sunday as we have to drive 30mins to the training site.
Oscar (CoachUp client)
Coach Mike is a great coach with innovative ideas and a record that speaks for itself. I look forward to continue working with him.
Jason (CoachUp client)

John (CoachUp client)
Coach Mike is excellent. He started training on time and was very helpful with suggestions as to how to improve my son’s play. I will gladly book with him again.

Mike has been training our son for the last two years and he's gone from being one of the weaker kids on his team to now being one of the best players in his age group and he absolutely loves soccer now!
