““Coach Benjamin has been absolutely amazing for my 13 year old son who plays club soccer! My son was feeling anxious, insecure and stressed about certain aspects of his performance and skill level. After his very first session with Coach Ben, his confidence shot up and he was extremely excited to put to work the mental and physical strategies he learned. He’s completed several sessions and every time we are seeing more and more of his improvement on the field as well as his mental game. Coach Ben is patient, positive, honest, very talented, professional and a great coach and leader. He has become a mentor to my son and we are grateful to have found him through CoachUp!””Luke, student · shared by BenjaminAbout BenjaminWith 20+ years of combined experience as a soccer player and coach, I bring a unique perspective to player development—one built through years of competing, learning, coaching, and experiencing the game at different levels.
**My Playing Journey**
My competitive journey began at the youth level. At age 14, I joined Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) at the Silver Elite level. At 16, I joined LA Galaxy at the Silver Elite level. One year later, my team moved up to the Gold Division, the highest level of competition within the league. I continued playing at the high school varsity level, and during my senior year, my team competed in the CIF league, competing against some of the strongest high school soccer programs in California. At age 22, I continued my playing career at the semi-professional level with Legacy FC in the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL). I later competed with Orange County FC (OCFC) in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL). My playing experience also took me internationally to Madrid, Spain, where I competed against reserve and development sides associated with Getafe, Alcorcón, and Leganés. Their first teams compete within Spain's professional football system, including La Liga, Spain's highest professional division. These experiences exposed me to different soccer cultures, coaching styles, tactical approaches, training environments, and levels of competition.
**My Coaching Approach**
I believe player development is about much more than teaching technical skills. A good coach should help players understand how to play, why they are making certain decisions, and how they can continue improving when the coach is no longer beside them. My coaching focuses on developing players in several areas:
**Technical ability** — first touch, passing, receiving, dribbling, finishing, ball control, and 1v1 play.
**Tactical understanding** — positioning, movement, decision-making, attacking and defensive principles, and reading the game.
**Physical development** — movement, coordination, agility, conditioning, and preparation for the demands of competition.
**Mental development** — confidence, discipline, resilience, concentration, accountability, and responding positively to mistakes.
**Character and leadership** — communication, teamwork, respect, work ethic, and taking responsibility.
**Developing the Complete Player**
Every player is different. Some players need technical refinement. Others need confidence, tactical awareness, discipline, or a better understanding of their role within a team. My responsibility as a coach is to identify where each player is today, understand where they want to go, and help create a path toward that goal. Because I have personally experienced the progression from youth soccer to elite youth competition, varsity and CIF soccer, semi-professional competition, and international soccer, I understand that development is a process. I know what it feels like to be the player receiving coaching, competing for opportunities, dealing with mistakes and setbacks, and trying to reach the next level. I bring those experiences onto the training field to help players become more confident, intelligent, technically capable, and complete soccer players.
**Experience That Connects With Players and Families**
For players, my goal is to create an environment where they are challenged, supported, and excited to improve. For parents, my goal is to provide a coaching environment where their child is not only developing as a soccer player, but also learning important qualities such as discipline, responsibility, confidence, teamwork, and perseverance. For clubs and organizations, I bring a combination of competitive playing experience, international exposure, coaching education, and a genuine commitment to player development. For scouts and other soccer professionals, my playing background has given me firsthand experience with the demands and expectations of competitive soccer across multiple levels.

**My Commitment as a Coach**
My goal is simple: help every player become better than they were yesterday. Development does not happen overnight. It comes from consistent training, honest feedback, discipline, repetition, confidence, and a willingness to learn. I want players to leave each training session having learned something new, challenged themselves, and taken another step toward their goals. Whether a player is just beginning their journey, competing at a high youth level, preparing for high school or college soccer, or pursuing opportunities at the semi-professional and professional levels, I believe every player deserves a coach who is invested in their development. My experience as a player taught me the game. My experience as a coach allows me to teach it. My goal is to help the next generation take their game further.Go to profileBenjamin A.From $90 per lesson

“When Josue Fernandez first started training, he understood the game and had good awareness, but technically he was still developing. He wasn’t fully confident on the ball and would hesitate in tight situations. Through consistent private sessions, his comfort level and ball control improved dramatically. His first touch became cleaner, his decision-making got quicker, and he started playing with real confidence. You could see the difference not just in his skills, but in how he carried himself on the field. Now, Josue is playing at a competitive club level and looks completely comfortable under pressure. The growth has been huge — technically, mentally, and tactically.”Josue F., student · shared by Josue
