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 65 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
Dustin (CoachUp client)
Coach Stephen has a great coaching style and is very relatable. My daughter is coming back from an injury and he has been incredible with follow up and checking in on her, as well as developing a training program to get her back up to game-speed quickly.
Courtney (CoachUp client)
Coach Stephen is punctual, patient and incredibly knowledgeable. He makes learning soccer fun for my six year old son and is super pleasant to work with. I highly recommend him!
Leila (CoachUp client)
The first session was good. My son enjoyed it. The review is regarding the coach's communication and the way he handled the booking and the business aspect of things. It was not professional. The coach was late to the first session, was not responding to further communications when asked about further booking, and when he did respond he asked me to respond ASAP ! At the end, he changed on us his availability and location and asked me to respond quickly about driving 45 minutes to his new location. I have emails asking the coach to confirm that the location requested is okay with him, and he confirmed. I even checked on him after the first session to see if the traveling distance was okay for him and he confirmed again. Then he stopped responding. After a day, he asked me to move to a new location. It is not clear that he wanted to continue the training and he should have told me so I can find another coach. My 6 years old was looking forward to some soccer fun while he is on a break from school.
Nithin (CoachUp client)
Stephen is very accommodating and easy to communicate with. My son really enjoyed his session with Coach. He was really fun and exciting, but had a lot of good pointers and tips for him as well. We look forward to meeting up with Coach Stephen in the future.
Augusto (CoachUp client)
Coach Stephen is a great coach. I needed my daughter to get ready for a big game while on vacation in Florida and he stepped up big time. He got back to me right away and set up a training that same day. My daughter felt so good about it that she requested a second one the next day.
Tara (CoachUp client)
Coach Stephen started training my daughter from the moment we greeted each other. His training was professional and nonstop. My daughter left excited for the next session!
Christopher (CoachUp client)
Coach Stephen is invaluable in teaching my 8 year old grandson in the basic and advanced techniques in ball control and subtle changes in shooting for maximum goal scoring. He is patient and explains all corrections in an understandable manner. Great coach and I have seen huge improvements in my grandson’s play on the pitch.
Brian (CoachUp client)
Stephen trained my 12 old and I saw big improvement in a short period of time. His sessions are well organized and tailored to my son's needs. I highly reccomend.
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!
