Not only do I want my team to become better players, but I also want to assist them in becoming well-rounded individuals.

I have been playing soccer since I was 8 years old. My passion led me to play and compete in the Central Jersey Finals for Hopewell Valley Central High School and furthermore become a 4 Year starter at Moravian College (Moravian University). After college, I acquired my certification from the USSF - United States Soccer Federation to be a licensed coach, and NASM - National Academy for Sports Medicine to be a certified CPT/PES/CES. I currently use my qualified background to help athletes become performance ready. Under my training, athletes become faster, stronger, and fitter. Additionally, I am able to help prevent injuries and accelerate any recovery process through my love of strength and conditioning. In my philosophy, I like to take a different approach then most in the realm of youth athletics. I’m attempting to change the game by taking a holistic approach to the student-athlete, focusing on the student as much as the athlete. The sole mission is to foster participants in both the athletic and academic platform with the idea of the highest levels of personal success to be achieved. This is not just a temporary fix; it is a lifestyle change and a way of life. I’m committed to community service, social change, and a better tomorrow! My holistic training approach develops athletes not only technically, but also physically, and tactically. I have helped propel athletes of all ages and skill levels - from 5-year-old recreational players to 22-year-old pros. I am committed to my craft and want to spread the joy and love that has given me so much life!

"I’ve known Rafael since I was little, we are both from Venezuela and same age. I witnessed him starting his whole process as a tennis player even before he jumped into international tournaments, I am very lucky to be his first lesson ever. Somehow it was funny since he was coaching me with 15 years old, back then, I knew that being on the court with him will give me a good energy and vibe, he taught me what to do before matches and after matches, taught me different routines during the matches and some technical stuff. I truly recommend Rafael, no because he’s a good friend of mine, because of his dedication and love for the game.
