I have been working as a Soccer Coach and Private Trainer for the past 4 years. I began my coaching career working with Alexandria Soccer Association in Alexandria, Virginia in their Pre-K programs and as a Summer Camp Director. After spending a few months with the club, I started assisting with a u16/17 Girls' ECNL team, which I eventually took over as head coach. This experience sparked my passion for private training, as I recognized a lack of foundational technical understanding and variety, even at the highest competitive level. The concept of technical mastery and variety became the inspiration for my training sessions, and of the players on that team, 3 of them have gone on to play at Top Division 1 Colleges, including the current US Women's Futsal National Team Goalkeeper. In addition to my experience with the U16/17 Girls Team, I coached for several Futsal teams at the club including the u14 Girls, u17 Girls, and Men's and Women's Futsal Pro teams. I believe my futsal background and experience brings a unique perspective to technical mastery, which has been used as a successful method in South American countries to produce players with elite ball control. My latest experience in my coaching journey was at Lakewood High School, where I am currently a Math Teacher, as the head coach for the Boys' and Girls' Varsity Soccer Teams. While I do believe my coaching experiences and successes speak for themselves, I believe my education experiences are truly what sets me a part as a private trainer. My training programs are built with the psychology of education in mind when determining drill progressions, utilizing motivation strategies, and identifying individual learning preferences.

EMPHASIS ON TECHNIQUE
Technique drives everything in soccer. From how efficiently and effectively we move across the pitch, to how we manipulate the ball, and to how we look to create spaces with tricks and deception. If you do not understand the correct technique, then you are training the wrong technique and that is a WASTE of your time. In order to successfully implement a new technique or correct a broken technique, it is most effective visualize the proper technique and connect that visual to what your body is doing. This requires you to use your BRAIN. Of all the body parts you can legally use in a soccer, the brain is by far the most important. The best players are constantly analyzing their technique, body shape, and positioning and how that is impacting the game around them. At training sessions be ready to be attentive, focus on the detail, and be analytical about your strengths and weaknesses and your successes and mistakes. If you are not thinking you are not learning!

REPS ARE ON YOUR OWN TIME
Repetition is essential for developing muscle memory and the variety in your technical toolbox. However, my time with you is not best served by having you run through repetitive cone drills, but rather by breaking down proper technique and teaching you how to analyze your own technique. It is an EXPECTATION that you are working on your own outside of our trainings. To help promote successful at-home learning and training, after each session you will be provided with homework which will include drills to continue developing techniques from that session and a learning task to develop mental and tactical understanding. Furthermore, you can purchase additional access to TTSA's Video Library which consists of a vast amount of individual training drills, skill tutorials and technique breakdowns.
