I am a Southern California born and raised admirer, student, player, and coach of the beautiful game. Originally from Apple Valley, I began playing with a soccer ball as soon as I took my first steps. I respect the ever-changing dynamic of this sport and choose to constantly adapt as it relates to the coaching aspect of it. With my philosophy and background in kinesiology/sports medicine, I plan on implementing these ideas into guiding players through their own relationship, knowledge, and passion for the sport. My training sessions will focus on developing players in the 4 key components of the game (Technical, Tactical, Physical and Psychological). My desire to learn and lead will serve as a beacon of light to follow in my journey of coaching youth players. I am eager to give back to the kids what was given to me as a young player myself! In my best Patrice Evra impersonation, “I LOVE THIS GAME!”
