Elite Keeper Academy
About
I have obtained the highest goalkeeper licenses of both licensing organizations available in the United States, USSF National Goalkeeping License and United Soccer Coaches Advanced National Goalkeeping Diploma. This enables me to teach other coaches on how to develop goalkeepers by being on the United Soccer Coaches Education Staff. It also allows me create the most appropriate goalkeeper development curriculum for Elite Keeper Academy. Not only do I value the goalkeeper specific education, but to develop successful goalkeepers you also need to be able to teach the game and replicate game situations in training. Which is why my education also includes completing full team license/diplomas.

Being a current coach involved in the Division 1 men's college game along with my past roles at previous schools both men's and women's and at various levels in the college game. I bring to the youth athlete what works at the higher levels and we teach to that standard. We don't allow the athletes train habits that they can get away with at the youth level but won't and don't at the higher levels.
