Paul M.

I have over 25 years of experience in playing soccer and I began my coaching career in 2014 in the East Hartford Soccer Club and privately. I've coached children from ages 3 to high school.

I began playing organized soccer since the age of 7. By the age of 10, I was part of the developmental youth division of a professional level soccer team in Lima, Peru, Club Universitario de Deportes. During my time on that club, my team had the opportunity to travel to many countries to play in various tournaments in our age category. In 1998 and 1999, my high school team in Peru was the district wide champion for two consecutive years. In college, I went on to play for American International College in Springfield, MA.

I have been able to create and apply a soccer developmental program that emphasizes on an intense physical training as well as improving the technical ability with the ball. To be a successful soccer player today, it requires players to gain a lot of physical strength and develop superb foot skills.
