I’ve had a great experience training with Rafael. He’s an excellent coach,very professional, patient, and truly passionate about soccer. Every session is well-structured and challenging, and you can tell he genuinely cares about helping his players improve.
He explains things clearly, focuses on fundamentals, and pushes you to get better while still keeping the training enjoyable. I’ve already seen progress in my technique, conditioning, and confidence on the field.
Highly recommend Rafael to anyone looking to take their game to the next level!

What a find! Coach Rafael is wonderful and our 12 year old daughter loves working with him to improve her soccer skills. He is patient, encouraging and positive-all essential qualities for working with kids! We are also particularly impressed with how Rafael creates fun and innovative drills to keep her interested. He is very communicative and easy to work with on scheduling. We 1,000% recommend, and hope to continue working with Coach Rafael!

We have had several training sessions with Coach Rafa for my 9 year old son. Coach Rafa created trainings that focused on developing skills that needed work and pushing toward the next levels in areas where my son was ready to advance.
We always enjoy our trainings with Rafa!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I can offer custom packages for more than 1 session, online training and discounts for group sessions.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
On the first session I like to assess the athlete's current abilities, strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. I also like to to discuss their goals, skill level, and expectations. From there, I create a customized coaching plan to get the athlete exactly where he wants to be.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
