Private Lessons & Coaches in Citrus Park, FL

For nearly five decades, I've lived and breathed the beautiful game, guiding players of all ages to reach their full potential on and off the field. My coaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive environment where technical skills flourish alongside tactical understanding and a genuine love for soccer. I have worked with Youth National Teams and been a college coach for many years as well as a director of multiple youth soccer clubs and a youth state soccer organization. As a sport psychologist as well, I understand motivation and look to assist all players in that area too. Currently I hold every coaching license offered in the USA and also hold coaching licenses from England, Holland and FIFA.

"Everyday we played fun games that helped me improve technically and as a competitor. I refound my passion for the game.

I grew up playing soccer and still train daily, so I bring a player’s mindset into every session. I’m also a certified strength and conditioning coach, which allows me to teach proper movement, balance, speed, and power—not just footwork. Whether the player needs help with first touch, dribbling, shooting, or overall fitness, I build sessions around their exact goals. I keep coaching positive and honest, and I want every athlete I work with to leave feeling stronger, more confident, and excited to come back.

I was professionally trained in soccer for 5 years and bring high-level skills, discipline, and game intelligence to every session. I focus on strong fundamentals, smart decision-making, conditioning, and building confidence. My goal is to help players improve quickly while developing a winning mindset and love for the game. ⚽

Basketball was my first love. I started playing organized basketball when I was 10years old and played all 4 years in college. Basketball has always been more than a game to me, I was blessed with amazing coaches and teammates that taught me more about life and bonds that will last a lifetime. Don’t get me wrong the game taught me a lot too, and those skills are used to get through life’s ups and downs. I don’t know where I’d be without it and I would love to share my passion for the game along with life skills to encourage youth the way I was. It made a difference!

"These lessons are amazing! Even as a beginner/intermediate player, I felt challenged in all the right ways. The teaching is patient, clear, and hands-on, so you’re actually playing and improving every lesson. I’ve tried other teachers before, but these lessons are different—they focus on real songs, real skills, and making progress fun. I can see my technique, timing, and confidence improving week by week. Honestly, if you want lessons that actually stick and make you excited to pick up your instrument, this is the place to be.

My 5 years of professional experience as a pitcher with the San Francisco Giants Organization provided me with a great deal of learning opportunities and exposure to high-level training. As someone that was never the most talented player, I had to rely on my work ethic and a desire to learn as much as I could through mechanics research, strength & mobility training and the science behind pitching analytics. I hope to share my experience and the knowledge I’ve gained over that time in order to help younger players reach their goals.

"My 11-year-old son, Gavin, has been working with John for pitching lessons over the past few months, and the progress has been incredible. John’s dedication to Gavin’s development is unmatched. He takes the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of pitching, ensuring Gavin not only practices but truly understands the mechanics. John’s commitment goes beyond the weekly sessions—he sends video clips and personalized notes with tips to help Gavin refine his skills. His personable and caring approach makes it clear how much he truly values Gavin’s growth, both as a player and as a person. I highly recommend John Timmins.”
