Private Soccer Training & Coaches in Redding, CT

I come from a soccer background. Watching my father coach and play and my brother play up until it was my turn to start my journey when teams were available. My father has won multiple state cup championships and is currently a scout and trainer for the New York Redbulls as well as coaching two teams at Trumbull United. I played for him for 5 years, from the age of 6-11, playing 3 years up and winning two state cups with that team. I then transitioned to beachside for two years. From there i played at south central academy. I was the 2nd person in the history of Trumbull high to make varsity as a freshman and went on to be the leading goal scorer in the fciac as a freshman. I left Trumbull high and went to south kent boarding school where i would go on to win two national championships and multiple regional nepsac championships under the legendary coach Owen Finberg. After that, i went on to play college soccer. I am currently still in college and playing at the upsl level as well as usl2. I had ankle surgery over the fall, so i will not be playing this school year. I have more than enough time to give my all to coaching and developing the next generation. Soccer is my passion and in my blood. Being a current player at a high level and playing amongst the top in the country has given me knowledge of the game that you cannot simply learn by watching videos or reading a textbook. I have a lot to offer having played striker, cdm, left back, wingback, my entire career.

I am Matthew, a 23-year-old college student who is getting their BA in psychology and has played soccer since I was 4 years old on various teams at different levels. I have played on rec teams, travel teams, and high school teams. I decided to stop playing and become a coach over the past two years, and have coached multiple teams, both indoor and futsal. I recently acquired my US Soccer Grassroots Coaching License and am en route to getting my D Coaching License. I am a passionate person about soccer, and as a coach, you will get someone who pays attention to the small things, focuses on the basics, as well as mentally makes sure the player is always ready for a game. I can coach any position on the field besides GK, since I have played all of them, and can make sure that after every practice, you will get 1% better in two languages (English and Spanish).
