Trained youth soccer players through camps held by Wisconsin Men’s Soccer all 4 years in college. Exceptional knowledge in developing young players into the best player they can be. Camps were held every week and I was in charge of a group of 10-15 kids at a time. It was my responsibility to come up with the drills for the kids to do and make sure each kid was engaged the entire time. Coach boys youth soccer for one year at the United Serbians Soccer Club. Was responsible for practices and games held every weekend in the fall and spring.

Trained in Serbia with professional club Red Star Belgrade during the summer from age 7 to 17. Played USSDA soccer for FC Milwaukee throughout high school. Recruited to play for the Varsity Men’s Soccer Team at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Played there for 4 years, winning the B1G Ten Tournament in my last year on the team and making it to the 3rd round of the NCAA Tournament.

I like to get a sense of my player’s dribbling, passing, shooting, and fitness level in the first couple trainings. Based off where they are at in their development, I will gradually increase their skill level in each category through drills that are being used at the top academies in the world for certain age groups.
