Infinite Soccer Training
About
I enjoy working with motivated and passionate athletes who are eager to improve their game. My training will help athletes gain the confidence they'll need on the field. I have a great deal of experience as a player and as a coach. I formerly played for the Richmond Kickers and Union Omaha who compete at the USL level. As a coach, I have been working with young soccer players for 5 years. I have coached in a team setting and also individual or small group training in many cities like Houston, Omaha, and Chicago. I focus on building strong fundamental skills that are crucial in the modern game. "The basics" one could call them. They are the most important aspects in a young developing athlete. With a strong base of fundamental skills they will be ready to learn more advance details of the game such as tactical awareness on the field. I also work with the students on what they specifically need for their position. For example, a forward will work on shooting and finishing to goal and a midfielder will work on passing and turning. The trainings will be fun and challenging to bring the most out of them.
I love seeing young athletes put in the consistent hard work and seeing results. That's my favorite part of coaching. Last season, I won my first national championship with Union Omaha and I'll never forget that feeling as an athlete. The team worked hard together and we had a great season. I want to build memories like that with students that I coach. Putting in the hard work so they can make the team they try out for or become a starter on the team they play for. Even develop athletes to go to a university and play for their college. I enjoy being part of the process of young developing athletes.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been playing competitive soccer for 18 years now. I formerly played for Richmond Kickers and Union Omaha as a professionally athlete. I know the game very well and I enjoy sharing my knowledge with motivated athletes. I started coaching 6 years ago because I wanted to gain coaching experience and also engage with the community.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I do have a standard pricing. I charge $55.00 per individual session and $40 for a group session. The sessions are 1 hour long.
I also do written workouts or online video sessions such as analyzing game film. Those prices vary depending on what the athlete is looking for.
How did you get started teaching?
I got into teaching by volunteering at local soccer clubs. At first, I was an assistant coach that would help set up drills and give coaching points to the athletes. I wanted to gain coaching experience and share my knowledge of the game. I also love getting into the community where ever I am living. Richmond seems like an awesome city so far!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with many types of students before. Males and females of ages 6 - 18. Some are starting off and some have been playing soccer for a few years. Every athlete is different and I tailor my training session specifically to what they need to work on.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
A recent event I am fond of is the Champions League. It is a European tournament in which all the best teams and soccer players compete in. It is an amazing tournament to see some serious talent. I learn a lot from watching the games and I love sitting back and seeing the best in the world play the beautiful game of soccer. I particularly enjoy watching Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kante.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would advice them to look into who they are and what experience they have with soccer. You want a teacher/coach who knows the game very well. A coach who has experience with playing the game is also very important because they know what it's like being a player. Some coaches who coach have never played the game, therefore they won't know all the fine details to the game. I would say definitely getting to know the coach and asking them questions to see if they could be a good fit for the student.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Some questions students should think about before talking to teachers are;
What are some aspects of my game I need to improve on?
What positions do I like playing? Forward, midfielder, defender, or goalie?
Am I passionate about soccer?
