"Another great lesson. Worked on my weakness, hitting balls in the air rather than letting the ball bounce.

Professional player ⚽️ and soccer coach, I help young athletes unlock their full potential on and off the field. Currently coaching at LA Galaxy Youth and the Iker Casillas Academy. I specialize in technical skills, shooting, dribbling, 1vs1, goalkeepers and more. I bring a lot of energy into every training and customize each session for each of the players.

Played Ayso in my youth and high school after that. Coached my son’s teams for 4 seasons.

I have been playing tennis for over twenty years. This is includes competing in junior tournaments, playing in high school and junior college. I’ve teaching for almost fifteen years. I teach all ages and levels. Many of my players have gone on to play varsity at the high school level. My teaching style is to start with the fundamentals and add more as the student improves, constantly pushing them to improve.

"My son is been taking tennis lessons for almost a year with Coach Travis. He is very patient with him and also flexible with our schedule. I would recommend him for all ages.

I’ve been playing soccer my whole life at some of the highest youth levels, including MLS NEXT, ECNL, and varsity soccer at Mater Dei High School. I’ve also been coaching for about a year now and really enjoy helping players improve the areas they need most, while also developing skills specific to their position. My goal is to help players grow their confidence, technique, and understanding of the game. Feel free to shoot me a text to see if I’d be the right fit for you.

"Bree Tran was an amazing young athlete to coach and always brought great energy and effort to every session. As the younger sister of Haley Tran, she loved following in her older sister’s footsteps and was always excited to learn and improve. Throughout training, Bree made huge progress with the basics of soccer, including footwork, ball control, passing, and confidence on the field. She was always positive, hardworking, and fun to coach, and it was great seeing her skills grow more every session.
