Coaching Matters.


LeftFoot Coaching(LFC) is a player development academy for soccer players to develop fascinating footwork, phenomenal ball skills and deadly ball striking abilities.

Through the Academy format players can have a soccer home that is based on a small group, long-term private coaching engagement with one coach who can progress them from where they are to where they want to be. The Academy is your own soccer community that's multi-gender, multi-level and mutli-aged. LeftFoot Coaching Academy is based within a 10,000 sq ft. facility specially designed for training soccer players to be great.

LFC is not a camp, clinic or club. It's a soccer home where dedicated kids come to train to get better, be better and know better without having to leave their community based team, but that in the process of being and becoming stars.

Coaching Matters.

We've all been places where coaching either has an impact for the best or for the worst with our children. What I try to create at LeftFoot Coaching Academy is a passionate environment where players can be challanged to go beyond the basics to try and then master new tasks and skills. I try to create great players, not great teams.

At LFC players are not satisfied with just doing the easy thing, we strive for excellence in everything: we compete, we study technique and we work hard. Players at LFC study and train for and average of 2-4 years in a dedicated environment designed around them, not team or club success, but player success. And the best thing is: you can stay at your community club and then still get 2-3 days a week of quality professional training without leaving your friends.


The psychological, physical, and technical tools that I provide my players and families have helped every kid take the next step in their development no matter where and what level they play. 

Having a coach that teaches a high level of technical quality, tactical awareness, mental skills and a passion for the game as well as cheers them on off the field is what players love when they come to LFC.

3. He taught me how to visualize my game beforehand.
4. He coaches me on how to handle pressure.
5. He never goes easy on me.
6. He made me only use my left foot for an entire week during a camp that was too easy for me.
7. He improved my technical skills (speed juggling, footskills, shooting.)
8. He met me on a soccer field 4 years ago and has kept in touch with me ever since.
9. He comes to my games to watch, then calls me afterward.
