About

I offer personalized, 1-on-1 soccer training designed to help committed players improve their performance on and off the field. With over two years of private coaching experience under my personal brand and as the Director of Bay Area Champions, a nonprofit soccer organization in San Jose, I work with players of all ages and levels who are serious about their development. My background as a lifelong player—including U.S. youth club soccer, four years of Varsity High School Soccer with multiple awards (Coach’s Award and Team MVP), as well as experience in the collegiate and semi-professional level. I also hold a degree in Kinesiology from San José State University, which I use to design sessions that emphasize improving athleticism, fitness, and injury prevention. Each session includes a structured warm-up focused on athletic development, followed by individualized, position-specific, on-the-ball training tailored to each player’s goals. My mission is to help players become better players on the field and better people off the field.

Coach Daniel has been an exceptional mentor to my son, demonstrating a deep understanding of the game and an ability to effectively communicate his knowledge. In a short span of time, he has taught my son various techniques and skills that have greatly improved his performance on the field. One of the most impressive aspects of Coach Daniel’s coaching style is his focus on proper breathing techniques. By teaching my son how to breathe correctly during play, he has helped him maintain better control of his body and mind. This has not only increased his endurance but also allowed him to make quicker decisions on the field. Another important skill that Coach Daniel has emphasized is the importance of how to become a glutes dominant and fascia driven naturally. By incorporating exercises that target these muscle groups, he has helped my son become a more powerful and agile player. This has led to better overall performance and a reduced risk of injury. Furthermore, Coach Daniel has taught my son the importance of taking a good first touch. This fundamental skill has greatly improved his ball control and ability to maintain possession. With this newfound skill, my son has become more confident in his ability to keep the ball away from the opposing team. Lastly, Coach Daniel has instilled in my son the importance of mental toughness and resilience. By teaching him how to overcome challenges and remain focused during games, he has helped my son become a more well-rounded player. This mental strength has translated into better decision-making and a greater ability to adapt to changing game situations. In conclusion, Coach Daniel’s expertise, dedication, and passion for the sport have made a significant impact on my son’s soccer journey. His focus on technique, strength, and mental fortitude has led to a noticeable increase in my son’s confidence and performance on the field.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer a one-time session for first-time customers and afterwards a monthly commitment.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before we meet, I like to get on a 15-20 minute consultation call to learn more about your situation to see how I can best help. After the call, we'll find a day for the initial training session. The first training session can be a standalone session, to see if you'd like to commit to the monthly training program.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from San José State University, where I studied human movement, exercise science, and injury prevention. My academic background allows me to design training sessions that focus on proper athletic development and recovery. In addition to my formal education, I have multiple years of hands-on experience as a lifelong soccer player and private trainer, working closely with athletes to apply sports science principles to real, on-field performance.
