About your soccer coach
With 14 years of soccer experience, my approach blends strategic detailed skill-building, including, but not limited to, mind to muscle connection, body balance, mind focus, reflex and reaction training, decision making, ball control, first touch, receiving, and shooting accuracy. Within time, we can progress into role and basic game tactics to translate your ball mechanics into real play. This will all take place with a fostering, supportive, and fun learning environment, making your learning experience with me as a confident choice to take you to the next levels.

Youth players
Working with kidsWhen working with kids, I adapt my lessons to be fun, positive, and easy to understand while building strong foundational skills. Sessions are slower-paced and highly structured, focusing on basic ball control, coordination, balance, and confidence using age-appropriate games and simple drills. I emphasize repetition, encouragement, and clear demonstrations to help young players develop comfort with the ball while keeping their energy and interest high. My goal is to create a supportive environment where kids feel confident, engaged, and excited to learn soccer.
Working with teenagersWhen working with teenagers, I adapt my lessons to be more focused, challenging, and skill-driven while still maintaining a supportive environment. I emphasize mechanical development such as ball control, first touch, shooting, passing, sprinting with the ball, change of direction, balance, and reaction time. As players progress, I introduce decision-making and basic tactical awareness through realistic drills and game-like scenarios. I encourage accountability, confidence, and consistency to help teens improve their technical ability, game sense, and overall performance.
What you need to bringBall, water, and either indoor soccer shoes, soccer cleats, or normal sport sneakers.
What I can bringCones, ball, a whiteboard and marker, indoor soccer shoes (to avoid any injuries with cleats).
