DaLuz Soccer
About
I am the sport to develop athletes to thrive in the sport of soccer. It comes down to compressing training into highly productive sessions that accelerate development rather than the tedious, repetitive work so common in the sport. I stand out because I've played and at D1 NCAA level. I also did for my son what I offer clients. My son supplemented team practices with hours of training with me. My sone earned a soccer scholarship to Georgetown University. There may not be another NCAA D1 mens soccer champion in the San Diego County soccer community. None that I know and I've been in the game 30+ years.
The best of this work is seeing the spark between player, the game and his or her team that can grow from collaboration. Seeing a client apply improvements into competition is the "win". So it's also creating the confident spark within the player which is the goal. Confidence comes from ability, I enjoy accelerating the abilities to compete with confidence. Getting the client to higher level of performance makes the game more rewarding and enjoyable for the player- the soccer nirvana.
