Hi! My name’s Edmundo, and I’m a former professional soccer player with experience playing in both the U.S. and Europe. Having competed at the collegiate and professional levels, I understand exactly what it takes to reach — and succeed — at every stage of the game. My goal as a trainer is to help players develop the skills, mindset, and confidence to make a real impact on the field. Every session is designed to challenge players in the right way, helping them grow not just technically, but mentally and physically as well. Some days will push them out of their comfort zone — and that’s where real progress happens. I’m passionate about helping each player reach their full potential and bringing out the best version of them both as athletes and as people. With my background and experience, I know how to guide your child to the next level while keeping the process enjoyable and motivating.
