Introduction: My training is tailored to the individual to help them reach their goals. I like to create an environment where athletes can feel confident and comfortable to work outside there comfort zone with a smile on there face. I have worked with players aged between 6-18, some of these players play recreational soccer, some play for US development clubs. With my previous experience and personality i believe i can help every player develop and improve their overall game. Here are JUST some of the topics i cover: - First touch - Speed and Agility - Attacking moves/Turns - Ball mastery - Passing and receiving - Shooting and Finishing I enjoy educating players and seeing them improve over short and long periods of time. I pay great attention to detail to ensure my players are being challenged all the time and make sure they are enjoying themselves whilst doing so. Coaches smile when they a player improve but the true happiness comes when the player being coaches realizes his/her improvement.

We have known Jimmy since summer 2015 when we had the pleasure of being one of his host families through Vision Soccer. He coached our 10 year old son in elite player summer camps. Our son took an immediate liking to him. He is a very energetic person who makes the training sessions fun for kids by incorporating humor and games into the training which keeps the kids entertained and engaged while also challenging them. We asked Jimmy to be a personal trainer for our son, doing 1 hour sessions, roughly 2 times a month. Training ranged from basic ball control fundamentals to soccer knowledge to conditioning and agility exercises. When we noticed areas that needed improvement in his game, we would discuss it with Jimmy to focus on those particular areas in his training. Jimmy was always very receptive in listening to our concerns and helpful in formulating exercises and coaching to help him improve. Other times, Jimmy would prepare sessions based on his own judgment. Jimmy is very personable, fun, and results oriented. Our son was selected into the US Soccer Development Academy and Jimmy continued to work with him on a bimonthly basis which has helped him excel. We will miss him both as a coach and a friend and highly recommend him to others. The Luong family

Coach Jimmy helped both my children improve greatly in their soccer skills and their confidence of the game. They had different needs and he addressed what they individually needed. The Petersen family is thankful for Coach Jimmy⚽️

Jimmy was an awesome coach with my 12 year old daughter. He was empathic yet disciplined. He listened to her and helped her with her soccer strengths as well as her deficits. Jimmy made her feel comfortable, was encouraging and at the same time kept her focused on the soccer drills. He maximized the full hour of training. I highly recommend Jimmy as a private soccer coach. She walked away more confident and ready to tackle the next All-Star game.

Coach Jimmy is a great coach to my 13 year old son. He is positive and high energy. My son is learning so many new techniques he is excited about playing soccer again! He was also great with my 14 year old daughter who is hoping to get time in her schedule for some more lessons. Thank you coach Jimmy!

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I speak with the parents of the player and ask what they would their son/daughter to work on and what goals they want to set. Alongside that i like to do a very mixed first session so i can get an idea of the standard of player and give feedback to the parents on what i believe would be beneficial for them in terms of goal setting.
