More About Coach Stephen
I am a former professional player with extensive US youth national team and D1 experience who has watched and learned from the best coaches. I have over 10 years of coaching experience working with different age groups and skill levels, ranging from young ages (7-8 year old) up to elite collegiate and professional players. The majority of my experience has been coaching 1:1 sessions, or small group sessions, allowing me to focus on identifying individual weaknesses and talents. My sessions are always professional, thoroughly prepared and tailored individually to suit the needs of my trainees helping them achieve their goals. I am focused on improving technical skills and tactical awareness, believing that playing simple and smart is playing skillful.
I hold a US Soccer D License, CPR and AED license and currently working on my C License
I played both internationally and nationally. I hold 2 consecutive NISA Championships (2022,2023) with Michigan Stars and Flower City Union, in addition to 3 National Amateur Championships since 2019 with Lansdowne Bhoys. I played 4 years Division 1 soccer at NC State University and 1 year at Seton Hall University serving as Team Captain. I played on the US Youth National Team from U14-U16 and was a key player on the United States gold winning Maccabiah team in 2017. I grew up playing for the New York Red Bulls Academy and was invited several times to guest play with West Ham United U18 Academy in London, and C.F. Pachuca U21 Academy in Mexico.
My sessions are 75 minutes consisting of a warm-up and band activation to ensure players are properly warmed to prevent injuries. Following warm up, is 30 minutes of technical work, which will give the player over 300 touches. The next 30 minutes will be focused on the ultimate goal of the session, which can be long or short passing, shooting and or position specific work focused on a player’s need. I will be providing feedback with exercises players can do to continue to grow when not working with me.

Client Reviews
Jerry (CoachUp client)
Coach Stephen has helped my son learn spacing and strategies and improved his passing and touch. He also gives my son drills to work at home. My son's soccer has substantially improved with his guidance. Highly recommend.
Jeremy (CoachUp client)
My son has a great first session with Stephen. Worked on first touch and ball handling skills.
George (CoachUp client)
Was a great session with Stephen. He was able to train my young daughters while we were in town today. Easy to work with and very technical and knowledgeable about many different aspects of the game. They picked up a lot of ideas to implement and work on in just one training with Stephen who is focused and energetic. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for training. Stephen is great
Elizabeth (CoachUp client)
Stephen brought Positive energy to the session! He listened to my grandaughter regarding where she is at regarding her soccer skills and what she would like coaching on to continue her development! Great communication and ability to meet her where she is today…get the basics….and build on that! She left her session with a huge smile and confidence! Thank you Stephen!
