More About Coach Timothy
I am currently a U8 boys coach for AYSO and a coach for a 4th grade / 5th grade elementary school coed team. I have been an AYSO soccer coach for U8 girls for two years and for U5/U6 boys and girls for two years. (I also have coached my son’s tball and Pinto-level baseball teams the past four years.) I currently serve on the board of directors for the local AYSO. I have also served as a trainer with the Springfield Area Soccer Association (SASA).
My recent team coaching experience has been with youth aged 4 to 11 years old, however, I’m comfortable working with a full range of ages (including adults!) who want to improve their conditioning, technical/tactical skills, soccer knowledge, confidence, etc. I have conducted private training for all ages! I help high schoolers get ready for their school and club seasons or prepare for the college game. I help college players train in the off-season and I even help adult recreational players maintain their conditioning and skills.
During my undergraduate studies, I took coaching coursework. I am up to date on all required AYSO coaching requirements and am in the process of pursuing my U.S. Soccer licensing. I also frequently read the latest in coaching methodology and complete continuing education. For example, I recently completed the U.S. Soccer Foundation's course "Mentoring in Sports: The Coach-Mentor Blueprint."
I played both soccer and baseball for 4 years at the high school level and 2 years of collegiate soccer at Lewis University, an NCAA Division II program. During my freshman year, we finished 16-4-1 with an 11-0 conference record. Post-college, I competed on co-ed recreational and intermediate teams via the Chicago Sport and Social Club and Players Sports Group. For a few years, I served as a player/coach/captain for a team known as Little Feet Chicago, associated with Little Feet Sports. I am knowledgeable about all field positions, having played outside back, outside midfielder, and striker in high school and primarily striker and outside midfield in college. At the recreational level, I’ve typically been a sweeper or outside midfielder.
I utilize a positive coaching framework and I custom design each session to meet the goals/objectives of the individual player. Every session focuses on both the physical and mental aspect of soccer. Sessions are built to be age-appropriate, to improve physical fitness as well as technical skill, and especially to build athlete confidence. (The mental side of soccer is something I am particularly passionate - it's a critical foundation for everything else!) A typical session will include a dynamic warm-up, then focus on a specific skill, opportunities for athlete/coach dialogue, and will conclude with a cool-down component and review period. Again, each session will depend on the goals of the athlete and what we can realistically accomplish in the session.

Client Reviews
John (CoachUp client)
We have just started working with Coach Tim for soccer, but so far everything has been going great. He is working with both my son (11) and daughter (8), who are very different in terms of skill level and personality, but Coach Tim has been able to meet each of them where they are to create productive and fun training sessions. My daughter finally scored her first goal of the season yesterday and had two assists, in no small part due to Coach Tim's efforts!
Suzy (CoachUp client)
We had a fantastic experience with Coach Timothy for my son’s private soccer lesson. Coach Timothy was patient, encouraging, and made the session fun. We really appreciated Coach Timothy’s personalized approach. Highly recommend him for young athletes looking to improve their skills while enjoying the game!

David (CoachUp client)
Coach Timothy was great. He was personable and knowledgeable and create a thoughtful training plan for my 13yo son. He took notes during our session and followed up with next steps within one day! His approach is relaxed and he takes time to get to know the student before pushing too hard in any one direction. Would recommend coach Timothy for individuals who are looking for a thorough and relaxed training regimen.
Suarez (CoachUp client)
Coach Timothy is a good coach. He helped to improve my technical and physical training.
Brandy (CoachUp client)
Coach Timothy is a great coach he encourages my brother to keep playing and improving his soccer skills. It makes my brother very excited to keep playing his favorite sport. His training skills techniques helped my brother improve his soccer skills when it came to games every Sunday he was in more contact with other players and had more touches with the ball. I would recommend Coach Timothy to anyone!
Jacqui (CoachUp client)
My six-year-old son began sessions with Coach Tim a month ago and it's been an incredible experience. Coach Tim shows constant kindness, patience and understanding. After just a few sessions, I have seen my son's confidence and skills grow. Coach Tim is creative and listens to a child's ideas, which he then incorporates into training techniques for maximum success. We feel very lucky to have found someone with such amazing soccer skills and a heart to match.

Heather (Testimonial)
Our 6-year old daughter learned so much from Coach Tim! She started the soccer season feeling shy and unsure, but by the end of the season she was a confident player who’d learned so much! She couldn’t wait to show me her new skills after each practice! Coach Tim did a great job of meeting the kids where they were, and developing them from there. Best of all, our daughter had so much fun!
Julie (Testimonial)
Coach Tim is great! He is very patient and helped our 7 yr old daughter gain confidence with her soccer skills. Most importantly, Coach Tim made sure our daughter had fun while playing!
