More About Coach Rubem
My coaching career began quickly after I graduated high school. I began working with many teams and age groups; youth, high school and college level. I also did an internship with a professional team in my home town in Brazil. Here in America I have been a coach for the Madison United Soccer Association (MUSA) with the youth age, working on my own Academy with all ages and I am the assistant mens soccer coach at Berea College. I have earned my USSF National D license and I am an on location personal trainer.
I have played soccer since I was four years of age. I have played for youth academies and travel soccer teams in Brazil earning a lot of awards such as, MVP and winning tournaments. I came to America with a scholarship to play soccer for the University of the Cumberlands. I just finished my career as a player in 2014.
Using my background and experience as a player and coach while living and playing in Brazil, Spain and competing and coaching college soccer in the U.S., I prepare and conduct very dynamic training sessions and create an environment where the athlete will learn, develop and understand all technical, tactical, physical and psycho-social components of the game of soccer. Training sessions will highly emphasize the fundamentals of the game and will incorporate Coach Rodriguez’s knowledge as a personal fitness trainer to improve the young athlete’s soccer fitness while having fun. All aspects that will help improve a young soccer players level of play.

Client Reviews
Danny (CoachUp client)
My daughter and I were extremely pleased with the training and technical skills that she was able to work on at a moments notice thru Coach Rubem.
Coach Rubem'promptness and professionalism was beyond reproach.
We needed last minute training sessions and although the weather was terrible this July, my daughter was able to sharpen up on her technical skills very quickly and was very comfortable with Coach Rubem's techniques.
An absolute 5 star experience and I would recommend Coach Rubem for any one individual or group looking for professional soccer training.

Coach Rubem is great with kids of all ages. He exhibits patience and is super knowledgeable. He builds a great rapport with the students. They enjoy his sessions and look forward to seeing him the next week. Highly recommend Coach Rubem!
Lesley (CoachUp client)
Coach Rubem was exactly as he portrayed on his bio and more. He was very laid back and made my son very comfortable from the beginning. His focus on basic skills and encouragement made us want to come back for more sessions. Highly recommend Rubem.
Tracy (CoachUp client)
The first training session and the boys cannot wait to go back !
Allyson (CoachUp client)
Rubem has been wonderful with Riley. Riley is improving so much and he is having fun playing soccer again! He looks forward to all of his sessions with Rubem and is disappointed if the weather doesn't cooperate.
Rubem is an awesome soccer coach and makes sure that he focuses on the things Riley needs help on.
I highly recommend Rubem to anyone that is wanting to improve their soccer game!
Lisa (CoachUp client)
We are very impressed with this coach and we will continue to work with him for the rest of the summer at minimum. He communicates well and motivates well and although my daughter is a complete novice she seems to have walked away with excessive knowledge on only her first lesson.
Cyndi (CoachUp client)
Coach Rubem has been an absolutely wonderful soccer coach for our 15 year old son, Jeremy. Jeremy's soccer skills have increased greatly and it has been fun to watch his progress. We would highly recommend Rubem as a coach whose skills, ability and knowledge of the game can take any player to new levels of skill and play.

Shirley Butler (Testimonial)
Rubem, Jacob enjoyed you as a coach and he learned from you! I do want you to know this has been a learning experience for him and us. We want you to know that Jacob did improve under your coaching and we thank you for that. We hope to cross paths with you again in the future not only because of your coaching ability but because of the young man you are. You are an excellant example for our son to look up to. May God watch over you and bless you!
The Baker's family (Testimonial)
I just want to let you know how much we appreciate all that you have done to help Brian.He has scored two beautiful shots in his last two games and when we talked about the games he said that he knew his Brazilian coach would have been proud because he was the one that taught him how to shoot like that . We have enjoyed the training and even though it was a long trip Brian feels that he sas learned a lot. Thank you for all the hard work.
