About Elite Soccer Academy

About

At Elite Soccer Academy, my goal is to elevate youth soccer players by developing their technical skills, tactical knowledge, and on-field confidence. With over 32 years of coaching experience across State Premier, NPL Super League, and High School Varsity, I have built a proven track record of success at the state, regional, and national levels. I am proud to be a trusted mentor in developing elite talent for State Premier, ECNL, and ODP competition.

Just won the U-16 Girls US Club National Championship

With over three decades of hands-on coaching and training experience, I bring an exceptional level of expertise to private soccer training. I hold 38 specialized coaching licenses, diplomas, and certificates through the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), United Soccer Coaches, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), and the USSF Referee Program.

By combining advanced, ongoing education with a proven track record of success at the state, regional, and national levels, I have successfully coached and mentored over 500 players—offering a depth of insight that sets my training apart. Working closely with both players and parents, I design tailored training solutions tailored to each athlete’s specific needs, giving them the exact tools required to reach the next level of play

In Addition

To reach the next level, team training alone isn't enough—that’s where 1-on-1 personal training gives your player a competitive edge. I offer tailored individual coaching designed specifically for athletes who want to stand out from the competition.

Players who complete a 4- or 8-session package receive a personalized Individual Development Plan (IDP), alongside expert resources on sports nutrition, hydration, and key FIFA rule updates. I provide a complete, 360-degree approach to cover every aspect of their game."

You’re considering registering but you still have questions?

You and your soccer player likely have questions, which is completely normal! I’m available Monday through Friday for a live phone call at 986-268-6247, or we can connect via FaceTime or Zoom.

Once you decide whether you’d like to register for 1, 2, 4, or 8 sessions, please call or email me to schedule an initial 20-minute Zoom call for you and your player.

This call serves as a meet-and-greet, but more importantly, it allows me to build a detailed profile for your player. We will discuss their age, years of experience, current position, division, league level, and both player and parent goals.

Every 1-on-1 session is uniquely designed around this profile, tailoring the training to their specific position and game-like scenarios to maximize development and engagement.
