Timothy J.

Fifteen years plus years of coaching experience including ages 3 - 20. Have coached both recreational and competitive levels, and have even spent time coaching other coaches on how to train athletes. I began coaching very young children as a way to give back to my community. Then spent many years coaching at a soccer camp, high schools, competitive youth clubs and everything in between. My most recent certification is the United States Soccer Federation National "C" coaching certificate (third highest in the United States).

Played high level competitive youth and high school soccer in N CA. Did not play collegiate soccer, but had a few options that didn't quite work out. Played in the SFSFL (amateur league in SF) and concentrated on coaching rather than playing collegiately. Played most of my later youth career playing up age groups and made my school's Varsity team as a sophomore. Was team captain in high school and my final year of youth soccer, and was voted all league my senior year.

Training sessions will be personalized to individual needs and can range from basic to advanced techniques and tactics depending on experience and needs. Each training session begins with a 10 minute warm up tailored to specific skill for that training. Warm ups will be followed by two to three exercises which concentrate on the technique for the session. Each exercise will be designed for the trainee to learn the most important aspects of a technique or tactic and how each applies to game situations.
