Randy Martinez

With over 30 years of experience in the game, I bring a deep understanding of soccer both as a player and a coach. I’ve coached across multiple levels and age groups—ranging from 4 to 19 years old—in both recreational and competitive environments.

My coaching journey has included roles at several respected programs in New Mexico, including Corrales Soccer Club, New Mexico Rapids Soccer Club, New Mexico Soccer Academy, and Albuquerque Academy High School.

I tailor my coaching approach to meet the needs of each player or team, whether the focus is on individual tactical development or cohesive team play. My style combines a competitive edge with a strong emphasis on long-term skill development, ensuring players grow in both ability and game intelligence.

Throughout my playing career, I’ve had the privilege of competing at a high level and earning recognition for both individual performance and team success:

Player of the Year – Awarded for overall excellence, leadership, and impact on the field.

All-State Selection – Recognized among the top players in the state for outstanding performance and consistency.

All-Metro Team – Honored as one of the leading players across the metropolitan area.

Honorable Mention & 1st Team All-District – Consistently acknowledged at the district level for technical skill, game IQ, and competitive drive.

Multiple State Championships – Contributed to championship-winning teams, demonstrating success at the highest level of high school competition.

Regional Runner-Up Titles – Helped lead teams deep into postseason play, showing consistency and competitiveness throughout the season.

NCAA Division I Experience – Competed at the collegiate Division I level, gaining valuable insight into the demands, discipline, and mindset required to perform at the top of the game.

These accomplishments reflect not only a high level of play but also a deep understanding of the game, which I now bring into my coaching to help players reach their full potential.

Each session is designed to build player development through a progressive, three-phase approach:

Dynamic Warm-Up: We start with dynamic stretching to activate the body, enhance mobility, and prevent injury.

Technical Skill Work: Next, we focus on detail-oriented drills targeting core skills like ball control, passing, dribbling, and finishing to improve precision and confidence.

Game-Realistic Application: Sessions finish with situational drills that replicate match scenarios, reinforcing the day's focus through decision-making and tactical execution.

This structure ensures players develop both technical ability and the awareness to apply their skills effectively in real-game environments
