More About Coach Mo

I've been coaching for over 8 years and private training for over 4. I have experience coaching youth teams from 9 year olds to seniors in HS. I've also privately coached players at the highest levels of the game. I've worked with players that are currently playing Division 1 soccer at some of the best programs in the country to professional players in the top leagues.

I've played this game my whole life and it has taken me places and I've met people that are life long friends. I've won the Mclntyre Award in recognition for on and off field contributions. I've also won multiple tournament MVP awards, Sportsmanship awards and Top Scorer awards. I played at the collegiate, semi-pro and professional levels. I played for Shoreline CC, Bellingham United FC(EPLWA/WISL) and finally Seattle Impact(MASL).

My sessions are based on what the athlete needs. The first session is used to evaluate the player and from there we can create a plan to help them succeed. Training session are fun, energetic, intense and informative. I make sure to break down every bit of technique that is asked of the player so they understand what they are doing and why they are doing it. There is lots of repetition and HW given to players so they can improve at a good rate.

Training with Mo showed me the difference between what it takes to be a good and a truly great soccer player. I was always excited to go to practice because I knew I’d be learning something new. He taught me how to see the field and defend but most importantly he believed in me. He knew I had the ability to be great and helped be develop my skill and is a big party of why I am where I am as a soccer player and person today.
Lorenzo met Mo when he was transitioning from rec soccer to club soccer. Lorenzo was one of the best players on his rec team but did not show up in his first club tryout–the combination of nerves and confidence left him to blend in rather than stand out. He was incredibly disappointed, so he wanted to make sure that he would make club the following year. After working with a HS soccer player for a bit, we were introduced to Mo. Mo worked with him to develop his confidence, technical and tactical skills, and physicality. Mo had a variety of training exercises that worked on his conditioning, speed, first touch and not getting pushed off the ball. Mo was so professional– from his personality, charm, and support, to fantastic drills and training exercises– And Mo knew how to push Lorenzo to his limit and get the best from him every session. Lorenzo came out of his trainings with Mo a different player, and his confidence soared. Lorenzo made club the next season, and within two years, moved to the top tier and starting CB. In addition, Lorenzo: Joined WPL Surf Academy- travel team that played tournaments across the US Travelled twice to Peru for soccer with SWFC Lecca Made varsity his freshman year of HS Four year varsity player Was Captain of HS team senior year Made 1st team NWC All Defense on his high school soccer team the last two years Recruited by several DIII College soccer programs Signed with Pacific Lutheran University to play Mens Soccer in Fall 2023
Coach Mo really helped me improve my game for my collage/pro career. I really enjoyed training with him because I was always learning something new from him. Trainings were always intense and specifically made for you to improve.Not only was he a good coach but a mentor as well, trying to always see me do good.
As parents, we can’t say enough good things about Mo and the training he provides. Our son, Aidan, picked up a love for soccer playing rec league while in junior high. He ended up being cut from the Pullman High School soccer team his freshman year. It was at this point that Aidan decided to commit himself to becoming a better soccer player, with aspirations of playing soccer at the collegiate level and started training with Mo. In fall 2022, Aidan will be a part of Linfield University’s soccer team. None of this would have been possible without the training Mo provided.
My son has been working consistently with Mo for over a year. The growth we have seen has been amazing! His team coach has made many comments about his footwork, which we directly attribute to Mo. my son loves working with Mo and looks forward to the practice. Mo makes them both interesting and fun!
Our community and our dedicated and developing players are most fortunate and privileged to have Mo Soccer Academy. Coach Mo brings a level of coaching and mentorship that is unmatched and nicely compliments club trainings. In 1v1 trainings with Mo, our son has been challenged and is pushed to a whole new level that has made him a leader among his peers on his club team. Mo’s holistic approach to the game and training puts fundamentals and skills at the forefront of development through his own experience and knowledge of the game. In addition to helping develop skills on the field, Mo has also been a great resource for advice for our son when it comes time for selection tryouts, tournaments, and teambuilding. We highly recommend Mo Soccer Academy for your player(s) – you won’t be disappointed.
Coach Mo exemplifies everything a youth coach should be. His ability to connect with his athletes and get them to work hard is more than impressive. You can truly see that he cares about each of his athletes. Workouts are purposeful with goal-orientated drills and games. Focusing on the technical side of the sport has increased my son's confidence over the ball and taken his abilities to the next level. I would highly recommend MSA to athletes of any ability level.
Mo Soccer Academy has been instrumental in my son’s soccer development. Mo not only helps kids develop their soccer skills but helps them mentally in building their confidence. Mo is genuinely invested in the success of these kids. His trainings are fun, exciting and challenging for everyone, regardless of skill level. We love how inclusive and inviting his academy is! We can’t wait to work with Mo more.
