USSF A LICENSE FOOTBALL COACH WITH EXPERIENCE IN ELITE YOUTH AND SENIOR ENVIRONMENTS

Youth soccer practice on a grassy field with players wearing yellow jerseys and official coaching the team.

I develop teams through clear principles, informed feedback, and context-driven coaching.

My work is reference-based, adaptive and solution-oriented, guided by the demands of the game, the environment, and the individual player.

I coach to unlock human potential through football, help players grow as people and professionals, and build teams that play with courage and intelligence.

LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY

  • I connect naturally with people and build strong relationships through clear communication and awareness of individual and collective needs.

  • I approach problems from multiple angles and enjoy exploring new ideas and more effective ways of working within different environments.

  • I hold high standards for my own work and stay motivated to make a meaningful impact, while valuing collective success and recognizing the contributions of others.

  • I analyze situations thoroughly and adapt my thinking, using reason and logic to get to the heart of the problem and make informed decisions.

GAME IDEA & INTENTIONS

I envision my teams dominating the match through purposeful possession, using fluid player movements and the speed of our actions to control space, tempo and the ball in order to unbalance and exploit the opponent.

We stretch the opponent vertically and horizontally through our positioning, unbalance them with player movements and quick ball circulation, and exploit available spaces to finish with numbers.

IN POSSESSION

We stay compact and connected to control space, protect central areas, and direct play into zones we can regain.

OUT OF POSSESSION

TRANSITIONS

On loss: we press to reduce space; if not possible, recover compact.
On regain: play forward if space allows; if not, secure and connect.

SET PIECES

Attacking: defined deliveries, finishing zones, rest-defense locked.
Defending: zonal base, man on prime threats, outlets ready to counter.
