2) 1 Alumni has just signed to Sporting de Lisboa's Academy in Portugal (Where Cristiano Ronaldo played & developed prior to signing for Manchester United).
3) 1 Alumni Completed Trials in Germany for Professional Bundesliga 2 club Paderborn 07.
4) 1 Alumni Plays for Phoenix Rising's First Team (USL 2nd Division in USA)
5) 1 Formal Commitment to Vanderbilt University (Ivy League in USA).
6) ALL of my students past 16 have received a MINIMUM Collegiate Offer in D2 Standard Football in The United States.

As for My Professional Coaching Career, I currently am completing my coursework for my UEFA C license; I have turned down 6 jobs to coach professional academies abroad in Spain and Portugal as I believe Youth Football in the United States has a broken system with an abundance of talent that goes unseen.

At 17 years old, I signed in England and played just Shy of 4 Seasons; playing against the Likes of Liverpool, Hull City, Wolverhampton, Shamrock Rovers, Sunderland, Harrogate Town, Halifax Town, Scunthorpe United, and Shrewsbury Town. Whilst There, I won an FA Cup, and was managed daily by Champions League Winners And Ex-Premier League Players.

Afterwards, at just 21, my abilities took me to Silla, a professional club in Valencia, Spain. There, I shared a locker room with Ex-Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia, and Hercules players. Whilst Playing There, I commenced my coaching badges and pursued them during Covid Pandemic; I formally made the transition to coaching.

PLEASE NOTE I DO NOT TAKE EVERY STUDENT THAT APPLIES: I want to keep my groups at a high standard and tolerance for anything but the best from Myself + Your Kids Alike is 0. My goal is to help kids achieve whatever goals they have for football, not to babysit.

I focus on complete football; I expect my students to be disciplined, fit, and confident. Before they really get going with their respective groups, I want to understand the goals you all have, as well seeing personality traits of the students in order to understand motivation techniques whilst training.

Afterwards; dependent on skill level, my sessions vary in terms of detail and repetitions. As many students come in with incorrect technique, as well as little to no understanding about football, My sessions consist of complete football understanding. I do not believe that football should be learned piece by piece; I believe that proper skills and habits can only be developed by progressive technical drills that increase in difficulty as the students master the skills prior to advancing forward. WE WILL NOT ADVANCE PAST A SKILLSET UNTIL IT HAS BEEN MASTERED.

My common drills include; 2 Touch Rondos in condensed spaces, Structural Passing Drills in Accords with 11v11 positioning and variable situations, watching film + breaking it down on a whiteboard, and going over habits that we have at a higher level.

Fundamentals to Lifting and Nutrition are an extension of services I offer my older students as I am a Professional Health Coach🤝
