Private Lessons & Coaches in Lake Mohegan, 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).

With over two decades of coaching soccer, I blend proven strategies with a fresh, dynamic approach to development. I'm passionate about helping players of all levels unlock their potential on and off the field, fostering both skill and sportsmanship. My experience helps build a solid foundation to grow.
