Youth Soccer Training
About Me
I’ve been playing youth club soccer for about 3.5 years, starting half way through my 4th grade year. I started at St. Louis Scott Gallagher in division 4 of SLYSA. I now play for the Academy level at Gunners Soccer Club St. Louis and compete in the E64 Regional League. I also assist with training the 6-8 year old boys in the Juniors program at Gunners.
Like most kids, when I started playing soccer, I also loved playing video games and snacking on “junk food”. I quickly realized that if I really wanted to improve in the sport, I needed to dedicate a lot of time to training, stay active to improve my fitness and eat a healthy, nutritious diet. Once I made those changes, my fitness and skill level both improved dramatically.
Now I want to share what I’ve learned so far with kids ready to make the move from recreational soccer to competitive club soccer or just looking to improve their skills to move up within their club soccer system. I want to share my love of the sport, my passion for always working on improving and learning more (there is ALWAYS more to learn) and the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle.
My Training
I primarily work with boys in 2nd-5th grade (U9-U12), who currently play soccer and want to move from the recreational level to the more competitive club level or improve their skills to move up within their club.
Not in my target age group? That's ok. Still reach out and we can see if I'm the right fit for you.
I work with the boys on basic skills, drills and conditioning as well as attitude, commitment and making healthy choices.
