More About Coach Timothy
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 teams the past three years.) I currently serve on the board of directors for the local AYSO. I have also served as a volunteer trainer with the Springfield Area Soccer Association (SASA).
My recent team coaching experience has been with youth aged 4 to 8 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.
During my undergraduate studies, I took coaching coursework. I am up to date on all required AYSO coaching requirements.
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 position, having played outside back, outside midfield, 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
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!
