About
I started playing at five and played professionally back home before coming to the U.S. to study and keep playing. I spent three seasons at Post University, where I was named an All-American, then reached the NCAA Elite Eight with Maryville University. Now I coach players in St. Louis, from first-time players to competitive club players.

Parent and player feedback
Parent questions
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes. I coach players from recreational level through ECNL and MLS NEXT. Beginners start with the basics at a pace that keeps them confident.
What ages do you coach?
I coach players from age 7 through college, from first-time players to ECNL, MLS NEXT and college athletes.
Where does training take place?
All sessions take place in the St. Louis area.
What happens in the first session?
We work through the core skills so I can see where the player is, talk about their goals, and set the focus for the sessions ahead.
What should players bring?
Soccer shoes and water. I bring the rest of the equipment.
How do private and group sessions differ?
Private sessions are one-on-one and built entirely around the player. Small-group sessions add teammates for passing, combination play and game-like decisions, with individual correction along the way.
How do rescheduling, cancellations and weather work?
Need to reschedule? Let me know at least 24 hours ahead and we'll find a new time. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may count as used. If weather makes training unsafe, I'll contact you to reschedule at no cost.
How quickly will I hear back?
Tell me about yourself or your player and I'll usually reply within 24 hours.
