About your soccer coach

With four decades on the field, I've cultivated a deep understanding of soccer, from fundamental skills to advanced strategies. My passion is fostering growth in players of all levels, helping them achieve their full potential while enjoying the beautiful game. I am dedicated to sharing my expertise. I have been playing soccer since I was a child, having played all throughout school, in local soccer clubs and at the college level. I have continued to play in recreational soccer leagues as an adult. I also have over 10 years of experience as a soccer referee in the local community, and have coached youth soccer.

I’ve found Jeff’s soccer lesson quite helpful, especially in working on dribbling and passing skills, although some drills could have been a bit more varied. Still, I appreciated his calm, focused approach and the way he encourages players to stay engaged. If he fine-tuned the lesson plans a little, it might be even more beneficial for different skill levels. I’d suggest giving Jeff a try if you're looking for a focused and steady coach.
