My name is Juan. My lifelong passion for the game of soccer began at the age of 12 (later than most!) and stayed with me through college as a D-1 Student Athlete at CAL Berkeley. While playing soccer on a personal level has and will always be a focal of my life, I have realized that coaching others is where my true passion and calling lie. I have had the opportunity to lead a high school team to the North Coast Sectional State Championship while simultaneously coaching the HS National player of the year.
I enjoy working with players of all levels, positions and ages (4-50+) I use technical drills and exercises to address weaknesses and emphasize strengths as well as make the mental aspect and strategy resonate with my students. I have first hand experience preparing players for tryouts (and know what it takes!) as well as increasing current players playing time. I want them to take what we do in our sessions directly to their games and see their progression! Players development is my specialty.
Additionally, I am a certified personal fitness trainer, this background allows me the ability to further supplement soccer coaching with conditioning and strength training exercises geared specifically for soccer. When you work with me you can be assured that a truly comprehensive approach will be applied allowing for optimal success!
I coach one on one, teammates, small groups as well as private camps for kids and their friends (rates vary upon size)
As a side note if you live in SF please be willing to travel to Berkeley as I am not accepting any new clients located in SF currently. Thank you.
