About Desmond
I am a former academy and college player with coaching licenses from USSF , The FA ,and FAW, United soccer coaches. I have a holistic approach to coaching . Football / Soccer is a game of applied intelligence. Without the understanding of how to manage space, most athletes never realize their full potential I want to change that. I offer 1 to 1 and small groups coaching for boys and girls ages 6 through 14 .( Proof of background check an up-to-date insurance)
I am a teacher and coach I've played the sport for five decades, and will probably play it for as long as I can as long as I'm healthy and able. I do what I do because I love the sport and to be able to pass that love of football/soccer to a new generation brings me great joy . Every athlete cannot be a professional player, but every athlete can use the sports to learn life skills. My job is simple, it's about teaching development both as an athlete and a person.
I started to teach as a favor for a friend whom I played with in men's league football, he had a program in Brooklyn and was short on coaches, it didn't take me long to realize,for me , to be effective as a Coach I needed to educate myself in the art of coaching . This is an ongoing process.
I have over 40 years of playing experience playing within the Academy system, college and semi pro, and men's League. I am licensed by Ussf ,The English FA, FAW, United soccer coaches. I have over a decade of coaching experience, presently for FCHARLEM/ Chelsea FC. Kidsuper Samba AC , West Point Summer camp. Formerly coached Yorktown Youth Soccer and Transylvania FC.

About the lesson
- All levels

Languages in which the lesson is available :
English
First I get to know you as a player and you get to know me as a coach because the first session is more of introduction to who I am as a coach , And for you to tell me what are your goals, ie, to play recreationally or club, for your school , or college or professional . I will then evaluate you in your team environment .Then design a long-term Player development plan for you. Each Session we will work towards achieving your goals.
Over the years I've worked with students 3 to 5 years old to high school players to elite club players and players who are now playing professional.and in college programs
My advice would be : if he or she does not put your personal development as a player FIRST and FOREMOST, then you may want to think otherwise. And lastly if he or she does not enjoy the process coaching you may want to look somewhere else.
Last year we coached a team of inner city players who went on to represent FC Harlem at the Dallas cup. It was the first inner city squad in the history of the Dallas Cup! you can see the documentary of our journey on YouTube FC Harlem BECOMING MORE (UNINTERRUPTED )
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Why, what and where
why am I seeking additional coaching outside my team environment
what are my goals and purpose for additional coaching
And where do I see myself in six months, a year, five years, after receiving additional coaching
And lastly is this individual the right person to guide me through this journey .
