Who is the best coach you ever had and why?
When I was younger, I used to train with an Italian coach named Filippo Giovagnoli. He was a very technical coach who had years of experience, and spent a lot of time focusing on mastering the basics of the game. He would put a huge emphasis on defensive shape, as a lot of Italian coaches do. I actually had the opportunity to travel with him to Italy to train on two separate occasions.
What should athletes and parents know about you?
I have spent thousands of hours playing this game. I am a skilled player who can help you develop your game. I can use my experience, both positive and negative, to give you the best advice on how you can get far in this sport.
Coaching Background
Summary of Coaching Background
1 on 1 training tailored to your goals and skill level
How can you help someone improve their game?
By mastering the basics and doing drills that mimic game like situations. Repetition is key when mastering the fundamentals
What does a typical training session look like?
Always start with a good warm up. After, I like to start with juggling to get used to having the ball at your feet. Next, technical drills to really get you used to keeping the ball at your feet. I then like to transition into a drill that involves both dribbling and passing. I like to focus on technique first, then speed up the drill as the player gets more comfortable. After that, we would go into one on one attacking/defending and finishing.
I would also like to emphasize that the drills are tailored to the player and parents desires, position, strengths, and weaknesses. If the player is a defender we can do more defensive drills, and if they are a forward we can do more attacking drills.
