TRAINING PHILOSOPHY v2

We are about to continue developing a select group of recreational youth soccer players, starting at a much younger age then the group I helped to train, develop and coach from 2010 to 2012.

Philosophically, it is going to be an extension of what was started by my Dad, training from the inside-out.

With players ranging from age 6 to 8, we will begin the same intense training process where all kids will learn all positions and play, dribble and shoot equally well with both feet.

The difference is that I will be working with the kids to help develop their decision making process right away. To work and compete together, helping each other progress as individuals who contribute to the competitive level of the team.

At the end the result will be a more complete player who will still make an excellent cast member on any first team in school.

My Youth to Young Adult Experiences

 

My GK and field play started at age 4. Moved to Scottsdale, Arizona in summer of 2007. In Arizona I benefited from having a lot of quality coaching through the Sereno Soccer Club. I also got involved in coaching myself starting at age 10, working with my Dad and other professional coaches like Greg Vanney (Toronto FC Head Coach), Tom Bratcher, Ally Maxwell (The Rangers EPL), Matt Bernard and Vinicius Dos Santos.

 

I played Midfielder, Defender and GK/Sweeper for the Sereno Soccer Club and at the same time also played on several Hispanic teams like Chivas, Santa Rita, Santa Rita Real, Italia and occasionally Gallos as their GK and Center Attacking Mid. This meant 2 practice sessions during the week and at least 5 to 6 games every weekend. The most important aspect was playing a lot in order to get the most touches on the ball by playing lots of competitive games, under pressure.

But, at the end it's about making life-long friends and connections through the love of a game that can teach you a lot about life.


 

 

 

 

 

 

SOCCER RESUME & WORK EXPERIENCE AS A YOUTH COACH

 

2017 - 2018 BU7, BU8 Head Coach
Game 1 - 8-8 Draw

Game 2 - 10-3 Win

Game 3 - 22-3 Win (Added 3 and 4 required passes prior to goals vs SC)

All games after this were won and we experienced the exact same response from opposing teams as my Dad did when I was 6 years old. From teams forfeiting 15 minutes into the game to Coaches getting angry that our team understood how to play the game better and continue scoring regardless of how difficult it was made.

2018 - The season ended with ALL games won, except for the first draw. Total goals scored 140+. Goals scored against 11. He then took his boys to play 7 aside against 2 older premier teams. They won against their 2nd team, then lost against the first team. All soccer coaching and playing seized Summer of 2018.

2018 Football Commited to Simon Fraser University Burnaby, BC, Canada
