I have coach over 100 youth players in the last 5 years. With a partner, we build the Futbolindo brand in Lexington KY, where we coached kids from 6-17 years old, helping on their development as players but most importantly, as people. As a professional soccer player, I enjoy working with groups as well as private sessions, both are extremely valuable and rewarding for young players looking to improve their skills.

I’m originally from Brazil and have been playing soccer for over 20 years. I am currently a professional player for Charlotte Independence, however, I also played in the academy in Spain and Portugal. At the college level, I was a former University of Louisville captain, had won both ACC Regular season and ACC championship with the Cardinals. I was drafted by Real Salt Lake in the MLS and also played for other teams in the USL level previously to join Charlotte. I was all team league in 2024.

We start with an evaluation session to get to know the player, their goals, and go over the expectations from my side. After that, we create a plan that can be individual or group sessions, strength training, video analysis and even college recruitment mentorship. After we have a clear plan, the sessions are divided in warm up (10 min) and 50 min of intense technical training, focusing on improving players skills on the ball. A big part of my job is building relationship with the player to develop trust, because I believe this is the only way to get the best results.
