More About Coach Mike
I have done 1 on 1 lessons through my college career with players aged 8-13. These kids were usually looking to improve to play for an established club team with the end goal of playing in high school & college. I now have 22 years of personal training experience to provide the most efficient drills and player strategies.
I have been playing soccer since I was 3 years old. I was captain of my high school team and played for the #1 ranked club team in Pennsylvania (Beadling). I trained in a professional academy for a summer in Romania when I was in my late teens. I also played all 4 years of college and was captain my senior year. I played Division 2 for top ranked Lynn University in Florida & University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown in Pennsylvania. I was the top scorer at Pitt-Johnstown with 8 goals in my sophomore year.
I always personalize my plans to the players specific needs. For example, I can train speed & agility, dribbling, shooting, passing, etc. depending on what needs the most work and what level they are trying to play at. I primarily focus on midfielders & attackers to increase field awareness for scoring and assisting at high levels.

Client Reviews
Rachel (CoachUp client)
Coach Mike is an amazing instructor. He is highly motivating, kind, and has a lot of expertise to offer. My 12 year old was unable to play soccer for about 4 months due to a sports injury. He felt down and thought he'd never get his skills back. After just one session, my son can't wait for the next training. He has been practicing all of the drills each day and ready for more. Coach Mike is an awesome find!
Tadin (CoachUp client)
Mike was awesome. He connected with my kids right away and got them started on their training. He is very personable, punctual and friendly and I definitely recommend him to anyone looking to improve their soccer skills.
Jessica (CoachUp client)
My son is looking forward to more sessions with Coach Mike. He connected with my 15 year old immediately and I saw my son’s love for the game and belief in himself ignite after a long year of recovering from an injury. My son could not stop talking about Coach Mike the whole way home and that is saying a lot coming a from a teenager 😊!
Rajab (CoachUp client)
From Rajab "I purchased 5 sessions with coach Mike and he has been very good with training and other strategies. He's been a great coach and I definitely recommend him!"
Parus Nischal/CEO of Nischal Sports Group (Testimonial)
I have had the pleasure of both playing with and against Mike at the youth level - his skill as a player was there for all to see and his ability to delineate what he has learned both in Europe and USA to aspiring players is equally as effective. Any player, particularly attackers, would benefit from his coaching.
