Private Lessons & Coaches in Dix Hills, NY

I am Matthew, a 23-year-old college student who is getting their BA in psychology and has played soccer since I was 4 years old on various teams at different levels. I have played on rec teams, travel teams, and high school teams. I decided to stop playing and become a coach over the past two years, and have coached multiple teams, both indoor and futsal. I recently acquired my US Soccer Grassroots Coaching License and am en route to getting my D Coaching License. I am a passionate person about soccer, and as a coach, you will get someone who pays attention to the small things, focuses on the basics, as well as mentally makes sure the player is always ready for a game. I can coach any position on the field besides GK, since I have played all of them, and can make sure that after every practice, you will get 1% better in two languages (English and Spanish).

I have been playing soccer since I was 8 years old. My passion led me to play and compete in the Central Jersey Finals for Hopewell Valley Central High School and furthermore become a 4 Year starter at Moravian College (Moravian University). After college, I acquired my certification from the USSF - United States Soccer Federation to be a licensed coach, and NASM - National Academy for Sports Medicine to be a certified CPT/PES/CES. I currently use my qualified background to help athletes become performance ready. Under my training, athletes become faster, stronger, and fitter. Additionally, I am able to help prevent injuries and accelerate any recovery process through my love of strength and conditioning. In my philosophy, I like to take a different approach then most in the realm of youth athletics. I’m attempting to change the game by taking a holistic approach to the student-athlete, focusing on the student as much as the athlete. The sole mission is to foster participants in both the athletic and academic platform with the idea of the highest levels of personal success to be achieved. This is not just a temporary fix; it is a lifestyle change and a way of life. I’m committed to community service, social change, and a better tomorrow! My holistic training approach develops athletes not only technically, but also physically, and tactically. I have helped propel athletes of all ages and skill levels - from 5-year-old recreational players to 22-year-old pros. I am committed to my craft and want to spread the joy and love that has given me so much life!
