Bio: I have been ranked Number 1 Soccer Private Coach in USA. Former Pro soccer player from Brazil. I can take you to the next level. Learn how to be a skillful player. Giving you ball control and game vision. I was born and raised in Brazil, where soccer has always been a central part of my life. I played at both the college and professional levels in Brazil before moving to the United States in 2003, shortly after earning my degree in Economics from the Federal University of Viçosa. Since then, I’ve been living and coaching in the U.S. for over 20 years. I became a USSF-certified referee and coach in 2005 and have dedicated myself to training athletes of all ages and backgrounds ever since. My coaching experience ranges from working with high-level athletes to individuals looking to improve their fitness and well-being. I have a strong passion for private coaching because it allows for focused attention, customized feedback, and a deeper understanding of technique. Unlike group settings, private sessions ensure that each client receives full attention, leading to faster progress and a more meaningful experience. My goal is to empower clients to take control of their fitness journey by combining expert guidance with practical tools. I believe in blending light gym-based strength training with high-intensity indoor or outdoor workouts to create balanced, effective programs that boost performance, health, and confidence.

Bio: As a soccer player and I love teaching specialist skills for specific positions. I have experience playing as an inverted outside back, and regular outside back. This position took me all the way from rec soccer through college soccer. I'm newer at coaching but work in the school system so I'm experienced working with kids. I aim to teach players who are looking to go into club soccer and transition from a recreational level. I have experience with this transition. This was a huge stress for me and understand how hard it can be for younger players to mentally and physically adjust. All in all, the change in the level of competition should not limit the amount of enjoyment you have on the field.
