"I had so much fun with coach Juan 🙏

I’ve played soccer for a young age of 5 until high school, that’s when football became a love of mine from high school through College, basketball as a youth for 2-3 years, & I’ve been heavily involved in boxing for the last 5 going on 6 years. Since finding my desire to help others improve I would host workouts for football players in my free time at my local field working with all different experience levels. During the summer of 2017 I volunteered as a youth football coach for the Bridgeport Chargers for the age group 9-12 putting kids through drills, full workouts, teaching them how to improve at their skills positions which lead me into the field of peak performance training. Having trained a few kids & pre-teens in boxing giving them specific easy to grasp directions to build the confidence that it take to learn the skill of self defense.

I come from a soccer background. Watching my father coach and play and my brother play up until it was my turn to start my journey when teams were available. My father has won multiple state cup championships and is currently a scout and trainer for the New York Redbulls as well as coaching two teams at Trumbull United. I played for him for 5 years, from the age of 6-11, playing 3 years up and winning two state cups with that team. I then transitioned to beachside for two years. From there i played at south central academy. I was the 2nd person in the history of Trumbull high to make varsity as a freshman and went on to be the leading goal scorer in the fciac as a freshman. I left Trumbull high and went to south kent boarding school where i would go on to win two national championships and multiple regional nepsac championships under the legendary coach Owen Finberg. After that, i went on to play college soccer. I am currently still in college and playing at the upsl level as well as usl2. I had ankle surgery over the fall, so i will not be playing this school year. I have more than enough time to give my all to coaching and developing the next generation. Soccer is my passion and in my blood. Being a current player at a high level and playing amongst the top in the country has given me knowledge of the game that you cannot simply learn by watching videos or reading a textbook. I have a lot to offer having played striker, cdm, left back, wingback, my entire career.
