More About Coach Toni

Originally from Barcelona, Spain, I hold a PRO UEFA qualification, a testament to my dedication to excellence in football coaching. My coaching journey has taken me across three different countries, each contributing to a rich tapestry of experiences.

In Spain, I had the incredible opportunity to coach and work in the scouting department of the Gerard Piqué Youth Academy, closely tied to a professional team in Andorra. This experience exposed me to the inner workings of a top-tier youth development program.

My time in England saw me take on the role of Technical Director at Clapham Rangers. Guiding young talents and shaping their football futures was both a privilege and a rewarding challenge.

My journey then led me to the United States, where I contributed to FC Barcelona's game analysis department and methodology, bringing the renowned FC Barcelona style of play to American football enthusiasts.

Coaching Philosophy

I'm deeply committed to nurturing talent at all levels, with a particular focus on youth development. Creating a positive and supportive environment for players to thrive is at the core of my coaching philosophy.

PRO UEFA Qualification

As a coach, I've achieved the PRO UEFA qualification, a prestigious certification that signifies my commitment to maintaining the highest standards in football coaching. It's a reflection of my dedication to continuous learning and improvement in the field.

My Athletic and Coaching Journey

I've had the privilege of being deeply involved in the world of football for many years. As a player, I dedicated a decade to semi-professional football in Spain, where I honed my skills and developed a deep love for the game.

Coaching Achievements

My coaching journey has been equally rewarding. During my tenure with the Gerard Piqué Academy, we achieved some remarkable milestones. We won two prestigious tournaments, competing against some of the best teams in Spain. These victories were a testament to the hard work and dedication of both the players and the coaching staff.

Player Development

One of the most fulfilling aspects of my coaching career has been helping young talents thrive. I'm proud to have brought three players to "La Masia," the renowned youth academy of FC Barcelona. Additionally, I've had the privilege of guiding one player to join RCD Espanyol's first-division team.

These experiences have not only shaped my coaching philosophy but also reinforced my belief in the potential of dedicated and talented players.

Tailored Training Experience

My coaching philosophy revolves around tailoring each session to the specific needs of the player or group I'm working with. No two players are exactly alike, and I believe in adapting my coaching methods accordingly.

Assessment and Goal Setting

We begin by assessing the individual player or group's current skill level, strengths, weaknesses, and overall goals. This initial evaluation helps us create a customized training plan that aligns with what each player aims to achieve.

Position-Specific Focus

If a player is a goalkeeper, we'll dive deep into position-specific drills and techniques to enhance their goalkeeping skills. For outfield players, we'll focus on techniques relevant to their positions, such as dribbling, passing, shooting, or defensive tactics.

Skill Development

During the session, we'll work on honing fundamental skills and addressing specific areas that require improvement. Whether it's ball control, agility, decision-making, or any other aspect of the game, the training is designed to enhance those skills.

Varied Drills

I incorporate a variety of drills and exercises, which may include ball work, agility training, tactical scenarios, and game simulations. This diversity keeps the sessions engaging and challenging, promoting a well-rounded development.

Progressive Challenges

As players improve, I gradually increase the difficulty of the exercises to ensure continuous growth. This progressive approach helps players build confidence and adapt to more complex in-game situations.

Continuous Feedback

Throughout the session, I provide constructive feedback and guidance. Open communication is crucial, and I encourage players to ask questions and seek clarification to maximize their learning experience.

Goal-Oriented

Each session has clear objectives and goals, and we track progress over time. By setting measurable targets, players can see their improvement and stay motivated.

Positive and Supportive Environment

Creating a positive and supportive training atmosphere is essential. I believe in fostering a mindset of resilience and determination while keeping the sessions enjoyable.

Adaptability

Lastly, I always remain flexible. If a player's needs or goals change over time, or if specific areas require more attention, I'm ready to adapt the training plan accordingly.

In essence, a session with me is all about individualized attention and growth. It's about helping each player or group reach their full potential by tailoring the training experience to their unique requirements, ensuring they develop the skills and knowledge needed to excel on the soccer field.
