About
I have coached since i was 12 years old in AYSO. The team I coached had players under 6 years old. I also coached my son since he was a toddler. At the age of 8 He tried out for the LA Galaxy youth team and made the squad. I have pics of my son with Samir Nasri and Ashley Cole who were visiting the LA Galaxy Youth teams. I've had trainees of all ages, backgrounds, male and female. Everyone learns differently, so I adapt my teaching techniques to those of my trainees so that they have a better learning experience which challenges them, but also makes it fun and exciting so that they are successful in obtaining their goals... And yes pun intended...👍 I have trained children, men and women, and all my trainees have enhanced and improved with my training techniques. I'm disciplined, sincere, committed, focused, motivated and very professional in my training because it is truly a passion for me to create and mold the best soccer players that I can, on and off the field. I create champion soccer players physically and mentally which in my opinion is equally as important. A soccer player must have a rock-solid, unbreakable, and focused mind. My training will cause my trainees to stand out from other players in their teams and leagues. I train my players to do the most complex soccer exercises to equip them with a variety of offensive and defensive weapons. That provides a variety of options so that my trainees may defeat their opponents.
I am a passionate soccer lover who played in youth teams since I was 5 years old. I just hung up my cleats at the age of 36, so I played soccer for a total of 31 years, formally in different teams, with numerous achievements individually and as a team. I was a varsity player in High School, playing all positions. I began coaching since my teens for AYSO because I love teaching skills and tactics to trainees of all ages who want to grow as players. I teach trainees a variety of skills from ball control, dribbling, passing, shooting, to critical thinking in real game situations. I make training sessions exciting and challenging for the development of the trainee. I enjoy making excellent soccer players out of all types of players ranging from different ages to various backgrounds. I believe that all of us have a soccer player inside of ourselves with many goals. I enjoy aiding and assisting what are considered to be weak or poor soccer players into awesome, formidable opponents that other people underestimated. I have also enjoyed helping refine players who were thought of as star players, to reach new heights of improvement and growth. There are no limits to your potential in soccer, I strongly believe that myself because I lived it myself. I really enjoy being a guide and mentor to someone who has the same passion and dreams about soccer as I do.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I first do an interview with the player and parents if they are under age. I'm looking for discipline and commitment to their goals and my time, which are equally important. I then do an evaluation of the trainees skills and talents. I give the trainee a clear objective plan, so that they know exactly what is expected of them as they are under my training. I work with them to improve their weaknesses and make their strengths razor sharp. I make champions out of my soccer players, so that they are distinguished on and off the field.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was coached by my my family members who were pro soccer players in Mexico. I have won championships as a player and have been awarded individually as well. As a Coach I have trained players who have led teams to championships and have earned individual awards such as Season Top Scorer , MVP, and more. I am a soccer champion capable of teaching others to learn soccer skills and tactics as well. I will make the finest version of my trainees.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Yes I only like to work with committed players and their parents. I don't waste anybody's time, so I don't want mine wasted either, because my time is very precious to me and my family. I am very committed in giving the trainee the best training to equip him or her with the best training possible, so that they may achieve their goals and dreams. And it includes two training days per week that are 60 minutes each session. They can be one to one or group sessions, it depends on the area of improvement the trainee needs, or the type of training conducted that week.
How did you get started teaching?
I was pushed into it by my soccer coach who thought I could encourage younger players. I always stood out as a soccer player because of my abilities in soccer, so the younger kids really looked up to me. That was my first eye-opening experience that taught me how important it is to be a champion, a positive mentor and role model off the field as well as on the field.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with toddlers, teens and adults of all ages. Everyone learns differently and at a different pace, so I adapt my teaching lessons to my trainees developmental capabilities because I want them to have fun while they improve. I have had trainees that grow almost immediately and some that it takes a year or longer to grow, but every trainee of mine grows to become an impressive and magnificent player, sooner or later.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
My son's training was my most beloved experience. He was 6 months old when I gave him his first soccer ball. He was still crawling. He would "kick" the ball with his hands as he crawled. Until this day I'm convinced that he only learned to walk so he can kick a soccer ball and play soccer.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Choose who is best for you. Every Coach is different and therefore players may feel more comfortable with different types of coaches. Not everyone agrees on the same tactics, methods and ideas, discipline, or training plan, but the players that have agreed with me, have become awesome, successful, and distinguished soccer players.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Customers should really consider how serious they are about obtaining their goals. To improve one-self, one must really make a commitment to one-self and the trainer. The trainee must sacrifice time, sweat, and even food. one must follow all instructions during training sessions and after they are completed. A healthy and restricted diet plan is fuel for an athlete and vital for reducing injuries, along with plenty of rest and healthy sleeping habits. All these factors are very important to obtain success in soccer. The trainee must adhere to the soccer plan your trainer has appointed to you if you are serious about succeeding in soccer. You must follow all instructions and objectives prearranged by your coach who is also a mentor.
