More About Coach Pierre

I have trained players aged 7-25 from recreation to travel. I also work with college and aspiring professional soccer players. I have experience coaching with BRYC, Arlington, Arlington Futures, Futstars Academy, and have had the opportunity to work with academy players in Mannheim, Germany.

I am a former professional soccer player having most recently played for multiple teams professionally in Germany at center midfield, but also competing at right-back, and right wing-back (2025).
I spent my competitive youth career at nationally ranked BRYC (2016-18) and played for national-championship winning Region 1 ODP team (2017-18). I played collegiate soccer at UMW, winning conference and making NCAA tournament runs and captaining my last year (2018-20). I transferred to CCU and played a season before ultimately pursuing a professional career signing with Maryland Bobcats at center midfield (2023). I also have three seasons experience with USL 2 (Nova FC).

1. Physical activation and warmup with ball (often includes juggling variations)

2. Game-applicable and technical drills to minimize player's weaknesses and maximize strengths with focus on getting as many touches on the ball as possible. Development of soccer intelligence and positive mental attitude will be reinforced throughout the session. Greater experienced players will perform more position specifics, while players with less experience will equally improve the entirety of their game. Body, ball, and spatial awareness will be stressed among advanced players.
a) Passing: Short, medium, and long range one and two touch passing with emphasis on connection and delivery of the ball, first touch, and body position.
b) Dribbling: Sharp, intentional movements on and off ball. Change of speed and direction is emphasized.
c) Shooting/crossing: One touch and moving crossing, shooting, and finishing inside the box and out. Focus on efficiency and successful conversion of shooting, finishing, and crossing. Generally reserved for attacking players, however, more defensive positions can train these too.
d) First touch and heading/aerial balls: Deliberate touch or placement of ball with all parts of body. Prioritize next action with/without ball.

3. Game that utilizes the skills, techniques, and ideas highlighted during session

4. Required homework to build good habits on and off the pitch to continue growth. Consistency is a necessity!

** Physical fitness/agility: I encourage players to run and get agility work in on their own because it does not require a trainer and is often improved through almost all the work done throughout the session. However, if a player is lacking in this field, I will help them better their stamina and/or agility and strength.

Client Reviews

We had our daughter’s first individual training session with this coach, and we were extremely impressed. It’s clear right away that he is a highly skilled, elite‑level player with a strong understanding of the game. What stood out most, though, was his ability to quickly assess a player. Within minutes, he had accurately identified our daughter’s strengths, pinpointed the specific areas holding her back, and explained them in a way she could immediately understand.
He has a calm, confident coaching style and communicates with clarity and purpose. Even in a single session, he was able to diagnose her technical weaknesses, explain why they mattered in game situations, and build a focused plan to address them. The drills he selected were intentional, well‑structured, and clearly tied to the skills she needs to develop.
Our daughter left the session motivated, confident, and already applying the adjustments he introduced. After just one session, it’s clear he has the rare ability to combine high‑level playing experience with true teaching ability. We’re looking forward to continuing with him.

Amazing coach. Investigated in the kids success

Excellent coach! Coach Pierre greatly improved my daughter’s technical skills. Her improvement was immediately noticeable on the field and she is now a starter.

After one session observing my daughter with Coach Pierre, I knew that he was the right fit for her. His attention to detail is on point. Prior to starting sessions, we set out a plan to include areas of focus. He is ensuring that those areas of focus get incorporated into his overall training plan - that tells me that he is listening and providing the training to accommodate the player. Keep up you good work Coach Pierre!

Coach Pierre is a wonderful soccer coach. He is able to motivate and inspire my son. I’m very happy we found him!

Outstanding. My son greatly enjoys working with Coach Pierre

Pierre is a great coach who really understands how to work with kids at any level.

Coach Perre is great, helping my son to really enjoy the soccer.
My son is shaping better and becomes serious about the soccer, which is very good to see.
I will keep this coach all the way being with my son.

My son felt super motivated and confident after working with Coach Pierre, and I’m already seeing improvement in his technique.

Coach Pierre has been great with my daughter! He comes well prepared for the session and has been exactly on target with the skills she needs to work on. We are very happy!

Had my first training session with Coach Pierre last week. It was a great session. It was a High intensity training, focusing on small details, learning and a lot of other things. Coach Pierre is a very respectful coach, he is committed and really wants his players or students to get better.

First session and straight to teaching and providing skills
Great attitude my son loved it

Coach Pierre has been great for my nephew. My nephew has learned a lot of useful skills and has shown a tremendous amount of improvement through our sessions. Coach P. Has also been a great resource, as my nephew is curious about the path to a career in the sport. Coach P. is patient and willing to answer any questions and has shown great interest in my nephew's success!

Great Coach.

Coach Pierre was great! The drills and work he did with Logan was like nothing he’s done before. Logan was excited about the training session and is looking forward to his next session. I really like too that Coach Pierre took the time to write out for Logan drills and skills to work on between sessions. Thanks!

Knowledgeable, worked well with my son and made sure he stayed engaged in the session. My son enjoyed the session and wil be continuing training with coach Pierre in the future.

Coach Pierre is a true professional. I have trained my son his whole life. What coach Pierre taught my son was beyond. It is great to see such a dedicated coach that truly cares about a young athlete and his dreams. I appreciate the session Coach and Junior will remember the lessons throughout his life.

Great first session !

Coach Pierre was patient and encouraging with my son. My son told me that he had a lot of fun and wants to do additional sessions.

Coach Pierre is an excellent coach. My daughters have really enjoyed working with him. They are always excited to go back and feel like they are learning and growing with each session. I appreciate that he understands where each is at and gives them personalized instruction to improve.

Coach Pierre is an exceptional soccer coach. His one-on-one coaching program has had a tremendous impact on my child's skills and confidence with the ball after few lessons. I highly recommend Coach Pierre to any parent looking for top-notch one-on-one coaching.

My son had a great first session with Coach Pierre. He was professional and my son loves his coaching style. He made an initial assessment of my son, then laid out a plan how my son could improve from a starting soccer player.

Working with Pierre has been an incredible experience. As a former professional player he has a knowledge and sharp eye for detail when it comes to training and analysis. He is tough on my son but manages to maintain the level where my son still finds sessions rewarding. Coach Pierre has helped my son climb teams in two seasons and I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about their child's development.
Her footwork, 1v1 moves & defending are markedly better!
