Why Train With Me?
I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and like a good Argentinean, soccer is my passion.
I have experience coaching in high-level clubs like Penn Fusion, Lower Merion, Philadelphia Ukrainians, and Haverford Soccer Club.
I started playing soccer more than 30 years ago and still play in a woman league every Sunday.
I'm also a soccer referee at college level.
Soccer is more than a game, it is a platform for personal growth and the development of confidence and self-esteem. Players will learn not only the Fundamentals of soccer but also how to set goals, push their limits, and push beyond their comfort zone.

Who is the best coach you ever had and why?
Growing up in Argentina, soccer was a male sport. I was the only female playing in my school but I didn't care. My first coach was Rafael Hernandez and he did teach me how to keep fighting for my dreams. Soccer was my passion and he always told me that "nobody could stop me from playing soccer even if I was the only girl on my team".
What should athletes and parents know about you?
I started playing soccer in Argentina when I was 6 years old. At that time, soccer was only for boys. Growing up, I was the only female in my club but I didn't care. The passion that always had for this game dint stop me.
If you always try your best and give everything that you have for this sport, nothing is impossible. Mistakes are also big part of a learning process. One of the best teachers we can have is our own mistakes. This is why, you never are going to see me upset or screaming to players when they make one.
I believe that to become an amazing soccer player, you need to use your brain first.

How can you help someone improve their game?
I focus on developing soccer intelligence and developing smarter players. In modern soccer, we need our brains more than anything. I will help the players to learn the technical skills but also to make the right decisions to when, where, and why.
What does a typical training session look like?
I divide my session in 3 parts.
first part is to teach the new skill.
Second part: play small side game with modifications related to the skill. Check for understanding.
Third part: Play 1 v 1 to review the skill and check for understandings
