My motivation is to help players achieve what they desire, and I go above & beyond to help them including watching games, video analysis, spending more time at sessions to get more out of them. The session will always begin with juggling learning how to control the ball with different surfaces of the foot and body. After juggling, I focus on individual footskills (1v1 moves, speed dribbling, cuts, and turns). I also focus on ensuring the player has a proper locked ankle so they will have a good first touch when receiving and passing the ball. If the player is adequate technically, then I offer expertise training going over chipping, driven long balls, laces shooting, curving the ball, etc

Coach Rich B. was great fit with our 9 year old son. I enjoyed how encouraging he is. If our son had an issue with a skill, coach Rich took him through it step by step. Friendly and easy to talk with. Thank You!
