Extra Time Academy
About
I have played professionally for 4 seasons for the Long Island Express, and Philadelphia Fury. Prior to that I was a college All American at Wheaton College as a forward. Currently I am head coach for Concordia College a D2 program located in westchester county. Additionally I am a head coach and Sports Performance Coordinator for Downtown United Soccer Club (DUSC). Previously, have coached for elite club programs in NY and nationally ranked teams in NJ.
I am comfortable working with any age group as my coaching experience over the past few years encompasses youth soccer from U-8 up to the collegiate level.
I love the beautful game and believe everyone deserves the opportunity for high level training regardless of their goal (fitness, fun, or competitive) I take immense joy in seeing the happiness and confidence players get as they begin to see the results of their hard work!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Begin always by speaking with the player on their goals for going forward and experience in the spot so I can tailor each session to their needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been coaching at the collegiate level for 5 years and 10 years at the club level. I am the Sports Performance Coordinator at Downtown United Soccer Club. I believe the combination of performance training and technical training is incredibly important for player development regardless of level/experience.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge 60 per hour for 1-2 players. For groups of 3 or more it is 50 per player. If are interested in 90 minute sessions the price would increase by $15 for each player for the 90 minute session.
How did you get started teaching?
It was my passion growing up playing and surrounding myself by the game. I fortunately was blessed with the opportunity to play professionally and play arond the world. My father was a coach (basketball) and I grew up seeing and hearing his experiences and perspective of that side of the game and I am glad I followed in his footsteps!

All levels! Professionally to 3 year olds!
