Every athlete has different strengths, weaknesses, and goals, which is why I believe training should never be one-size-fits-all. I take the time to understand what each athlete wants to improve and develop personalized drills to help them get there.

For soccer players, I focus on technical development, first touch, ball control, passing, shooting, defensive positioning, and overall game awareness. Having played multiple positions throughout my career, I can help athletes understand different aspects of the game.

I also offer speed, agility, and athletic performance training, using sprint drills, agility ladders, explosive movements, and strength exercises. Whether you're just starting out, preparing for high school tryouts, or looking to compete at a higher level, I'll help you build the skills and confidence to take that next step.

Every session is designed around the athlete's individual needs and goals. I'll start by learning what you want to work on and identifying the areas where I believe we can make the most improvement.

For soccer sessions, we'll begin with a technical warm-up before moving into focused drills that challenge your ball control, passing, footwork, positioning, and decision-making. As we progress, I'll increase the difficulty and intensity to make sure you're constantly improving.

For strength and speed sessions, we'll focus on proper technique, explosive movements, sprint mechanics, agility, and exercises that translate directly to athletic performance.

I'm a hands-on coach, so I'll demonstrate skills, break down difficult movements, and work through drills alongside you when needed. I expect my athletes to work hard and push themselves, but I also want every session to be positive, enjoyable, and productive. My goal is for you to leave every session having learned something new and feeling more confident in your abilities.

I've been playing soccer since age 4 and began competing in travel soccer at age 8 with A3. At 12, I joined Baltimore Celtic, eventually competing at the ECNL Regional League level and serving as a team captain during my younger years. At 17, I moved to Maryland United's National League team, where I also served as captain.

I played soccer at Crofton High School in Maryland, competing at the 4A level. After playing JV my freshman year, I became the starting varsity center back for the remainder of high school, winning two regional championships. Throughout my career, I've gained experience playing center back, outside back, and winger.

I also competed in varsity track and field for two years, running the 400m and 800m, with personal records of 53.41 seconds and 2:00.61.

I've been involved in structured strength training since age 13 and have accumulated hundreds of hours of individual soccer coaching experience, primarily helping younger athletes prepare for high school soccer and improve their overall performance.

I've been lucky to have several great coaches throughout my athletic career, and each has taught me something different. The coaches who made the biggest impact on me were the ones who pushed me to work harder, held me accountable, and genuinely cared about my development both on and off the field.

What I appreciated most was that they didn't just tell me what to do. They explained why certain techniques, movements, and decisions mattered, helping me understand the game rather than simply going through the motions.

Those experiences have shaped the way I approach coaching today. I want to be someone my athletes can learn from, trust, and look up to, just as I did with my own coaches growing up.

I offer flexible training seven days a week by request at multiple locations throughout New Castle County, Delaware! While my listed availability may only show certain days, I'm happy to work with families to find additional times and locations that fit their schedules.

I'm comfortable working with athletes of all ages and skill levels, from beginners learning the fundamentals to experienced players preparing for more competitive environments.

One thing parents should know is that I take every training session seriously. I understand that you're investing your time and money into your athlete's development, and I want to make sure every session is worth it. I focus on providing individualized attention, constructive feedback, and drills that help athletes improve in areas they can't always work on independently.

Most importantly, I care about helping athletes develop confidence, discipline, and a strong work ethic. My goal isn't just to make you a better athlete, but to help you become a better person along the way.
