About
I have 17 years of experience as a soccer player. I joined a team called OCFC (Orange County Football Club) and they're a Semi-Professional team in the National Premier League (NPSL). At the age of 22, I joined the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) and played for a Semi-Professional team called Legacy FC. Eventually, I moved to Madrid and played against teams such as Getafe B/C, Alcorcon B/C and Leganes B/C and these teams have first division teams in La Liga.
I'm a Licensed Coach
At the age of fourteen, I joined a club team called LAFC at the Silver Elite Level (Los Angeles Football Club). When I was 16, I joined Galaxy at the Silver Elite Level. Then a year later, we moved up to the gold division (which is the highest-ranking). In high school, I joined varsity and in my senior year, we entered the CIF league (it's a league that competes with the best soccer teams within the state).

Our experience with Coach Benjamin was beyond our expectations. He not only helped our son improve his first touch at full speed but he taught simple movements to help beat the defender. Our son called him a kind, uplifting and hard working coach. As parents, we loved to see our son challenged but in a safe reassuring environment. We highly recommend him and are looking forward to more lessons!

Was so pleased with the work ethic that was put into my two sessions! It not only helped me with re-learning the basic skills for soccer, but ignited love for the game while getting a great physical work-out in.

Benjamin along with great soccer skill training routines, he's also a great motivator. My son is working much harder training with Benjamin. I can see my is enjoying his overall soccer experience since started training with Benjamin.

The sessions with Benjamin have been great! My 15 year old has shown great improvement in his technical skills, such as ball control and kicking technique. As a bonus, his cardio and his speed/quickness have also really improved! Benjamin is encouraging and patient, too!
