Best 63 coaches for lessons near Portland, OR

I’m originally from Colombia and have played soccer since I was six years old, first coached by my father, a former professional player. I competed in local tournaments, the Bogotá league, and eventually played in the second division for a professional team from my city. I’ve also played in the U.S. and France, gaining experience across futsal, turf, and full-field formats. As an NFHS-certified coach, I currently lead futsal training in Beaverton for players ages 5 to 18. My coaching style focuses on proper technique, game intelligence, discipline, and adapting to various styles of play. Each session includes technical drills, tactical exercises, and small-sided games designed to challenge players and build complete, thoughtful athletes.

I’ve been in the water for over 22 years, and swimming has shaped every part of who I am. As a former NCAA Division I swimmer in the Big Ten Conference at The University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I specialized in butterfly and distance freestyle and was a national qualifier in both events. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for hard work, discipline, and the power of great coaching. Now, as a coach, I’m passionate about helping swimmers develop strong technique, build confidence, and find joy in the process. Whether you're working toward your first race or chasing national cuts, I bring the same energy, knowledge, and support to every athlete I work with. My goal is to create a positive and challenging environment where swimmers can grow and reach their full potential—both in and out of the pool.
