I've been playing hockey for over 40+ years. I speak Russian. My highest level of playing is junior hockey. I've been working for the Los Angeles Kings NHL team since 2018 as part of the Los Angeles Kings Hockey Development. I also help out Daryl Evans with his adult clinics during the summer. As part of Hockey Development, I work with the Little Kings, Learn to Skate and Learn to Play programs, and the Kings Camps. I've been teaching since I was 17 years old. I coached the California Heat Youth Hockey Club from 2013 to 2018, all age groups and levels. The lessons are taken place during public sessions. Any age is welcome from toddlers to adults.

I bring over fifteen years of experience coaching football at the youth, high school, and junior college levels. I have also provided private instruction for athletes of all ages and skill levels. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with players who have gone on to compete at the NCAA Division I, II, and III levels, including two athletes who advanced to play professionally. I am currently a coach at Notre Dame High School. I specialize in developing running backs, linebackers, offensive and defensive linemen, and long snappers. I strongly believe in the importance of the mental side of the game, which begins with detailed film breakdown. From there, I tailor technical instruction and on-field drills to match each athlete’s playing style, team system, personal goals, and long-term development plan so we can build real progress and confidence on the field.

"That lesson with Francesca had great energy and positivity, which was pretty encouraging. I especially liked her relaxed approach and how she kept the vibe natural, though I still want to stand up on a green wave next time. Still, I feel like I’m making progress, and it’s encouraging to have someone so steady guiding the way. If you're into lessons that foster a calm but motivating environment, you might want to give Francesca a shot.
