More About Coach Zach

I have been training players in technical skills for over four years. I have directed my own private sessions as well as assisted coaches conducting skill sessions as well as team practices.

My focus with players just beginning in the game is to give them a strong base to work with, and I take players with a strong base and love for the game and develop them into excellent players with their own style of play.

My coaching experience includes privately in my hometown in Kentucky as well as in New York City for an outstanding program called Super Soccer Stars. At SSS I worked with beginners (age 3-8) as well as Premier players who were ready to take their game to the next level. I also work with Orlando City Little Lions, an academy program for Orlando City.

My most rewarding experience was working extensively with the special needs program, and I am eager to coach children with autism, downs syndrome, and many other learning and emotional disabilities.

I am NSCAA Level 4 Certified. This certification increased my abilities to develop the technical (individual) skills of players as well as create numerous practice plans that fit the individual(s) I am working with.

Group trainings as well as individual trainings are extremely beneficial for development. I am eager to work with groups up to 8 players.

THE KING'S COLLEGE MEN’S SOCCER TEAM, NEW YORK, NY: August 2013—November 2014
Led the team in scoring: 18 goals in 25 games
Earned captain’s position two years running
CALDWELL MEN'S VARSITY, PRINCETON, KY: 2009-2013
Captain 3 years. Set records for most goals in a season (42) and most career goals (92).
INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENTS: 2011 KEELE CUP, ENGLAND; 2012 GOTHIA CUP, SWEDEN; 2012 DANA CUP, DENMARK.
Training from professional players and exposure to numerous styles of play at a high level.

I work with players of all ages and love doing small groups (4-6 players). As long as there is an eagerness to play, we will all enjoy each session.

A solid hour of practice is the best way to keep a player's attention as well as work through and repeat skills to a level of excellence. Perfect practice makes perfect, and time is needed to ensure quality performance.

Solid 10 minute warm up on the ball. The remainder of the hour is broken up depending on necessity of the player(s) and number of children, but looks something like this:
10-15 minutes of technical work (dribbling with speed, passing, first touch, striking, etc.).
15-20 minutes of games that focus on the the skills worked on that practice.
15-20 minutes of real game scenario (short sided scrimmage, 1v1, 3v3, etc.)
Less than 5 minutes of review and cool down stretch.

I always create a positive environment that pushes the player to improve while ensuring enjoyment of the game.

Client Reviews

Coach Zach is on point! He has great energy and is organized. My nephew loves his sessions with Zach and is learning and improving his skills as a player.

Coach Zach was great with my 10-year old daughter. She had fun, learned a lot, worked hard. He is very sweet and eager to share his soccer skills

Coach is great

Zach is a great coach and comes prepared to have structured training sessions.

Zach is a great coach! He's always on time, very encouraging and constantly gives feedback/advice after a drill. After only a few sessions, I've already learnt a lot and improved my techniques. Go Zach!!

Coach Zach did an excellent job training my 2 boys (age 11 & 13). We scheduled 6 classes to elevate their level of play and work on some weak parts of their games and Zach did a great job on both! The boys really enjoyed the drills and Zach worked them hard. He also taught them drills to do on their own to further improve their games. His communication was great and he was on time and prepared. Most of all, he kept the game fun which is essential for my family. I highly recommend him.

Coach Zach was a great coach !!! My son is very excited for his next session ! :) super professional and quick to respond to any questions I had !

My 6 yr old girl loves going to her lessons with Zach! Whenever we leave she ask when she can go back. He is great with as well keeping her interested and envoled for the hr lesson.

Coach Zach was AMAZING with my son. He definitely enhanced his soccer game, technical skills and taught my son a few cool tricks he wanted to learn. He took the time to teach each skill the right way and made it fun too. We were also impressed with his soccer skill obstacle course set ups! We will be back for more coaching to prepare for next season. Thank You COACH ZACH!

Coach Zach is a great coach. He is organized and has done an excellent job diagnosing Michelle's weak points and working with her to strengthen those skills. After only two sessions Michelle is showing marked improvement and has more confidence in her game. I look forward to continuing Micheel's lessons with Zach.

My son has had 5 bi-weekly sessions with Coach Zac so far and has already made a huge improvement. He's a great coach and I'd HIGHLY recommend him!!
