About
Elite Soccer Development is all about preparing the future of this sport in the correct ways. We set the enviroment to get better and to continue to push the boundaries of what we think it is to train at the youth level. We mix foundational technical work with advance game strategies to learn when the best time is to do certain actions on the pitch. We teach players to be confident and stand out, to be smarter then everyone else on the field. We love teaching the kids in this country what it takes to be successful playing on the professional level. We take so much pride in our work and we know we can help you or your child development into the amazing athlete that they can. We have been training kids for years and have had various player earn scholarships at the college level. I played proffesional in portugal for two years. We have experience training at all levels of this game. I look forward to meeting and working with you.
What I really enjoy about the work I do is the passion that players come to train with. Players who are serious about improving their abilities will show up and give 100% every single time. They are eager to learn and love this game as much as I do. We work with serious players who want to play high level college soccer or some even want to take it to the pro level. Those are the players we surround ourselves and our new trainees with. We grow every single day.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The typical process would be a conversation with the student and parents to find out there goals. Then we do an evaluation session to see where the student stands. From there I review my notes and develop a plan to get the child to where they and their parents want to get to. We specialize in realistic game situations to take the technical work we do and learn when to do it. We train on the field and then usually homework is given to ensure that we can continue to grow not just with coach but on our own time as well. Learning the game is a major objective here.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have Coaching licenses F, I have 7v7 license and the 11v11 license as well. I have taken all my safety certifications to ensure that I make sure the childs safety is always a priority.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My sessions are $50 a session and a typical session runs for about 1 hour to 1 hour and a half.
How did you get started teaching?
I got started teaching because I loved to play this game. So when I could not play anymore I decided to pass my knowledge on to those who truly want to improve and take their game to the next level.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all types of clients. From beginners to kids who have touched a ball before to very advance children.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
One of my students made a DA program team. Put in 4 years of work with me 2-3 times a week but the work paid off. His future is bright and just goes to show that with time and the correct mind set we can get to where we want to go.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for someone who has the same passion and intensity as you. If the coach is serious about your development then your goals will be one of the first things he asks you or your parents. If he is chasing money then it doesnt matter what your goals are. Here the first question is why do you want to train? We care about your goals. Your development is a direct observation of my abilities.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
How serious they are about training? Is a professional athlete really what they want? Are you ready to make sacrifices to get to the very top?
