Play Soccer at Abel Holtz Stadium

I’m Coach James, a dedicated soccer player, coach, and certified personal trainer with over 13 years of experience competing at the highest levels. My journey began in competitive clubs and academies, where I developed my passion and skills for the game. I excelled in high school varsity soccer and was honored to represent Florida on the ODP State Team and Region 3 Team on a national scale. My hard work paid off when I was recruited to play NCAA Division 1 soccer, further sharpening my competitive edge. Soon after, with the hunger for more, I made the decision to move to Europe first arriving and playing in France, Denmark and then finally; Spain. I continued to live and play professionally in Spain for 3 years until moving back to Florida to continue my career both as a high level player and coach. With over 100+ satisfied clients, whether you’re a beginner or aspiring college or pro athlete, I’m committed to helping you reach your goals and unlock your full potential on and off the field!

In our classes apart from learning new things, you would never fail to make us laugh and feel proud of ourselves. It was really fun having you as a coach this year and learning from you!

Soccer coach. My specialisation is Pro Defender Training. Built for Real Matches. I’m a former professional footballer (15 years) and a defense-focused coach with 5 years coaching U10–U16. I don’t run random drills. I build defenders who control space, win duels, and make the right decision before the opponent even turns. What makes my coaching different Defense specialization: 1v1, positioning, timing, pressing triggers, cover/shadow, line management Decision speed: scanning, body shape, first touch under pressure, 1–2 touch solutions Match realism: every exercise has a game problem and a clear reason Structure: goal → plan → measurable checkpoints, not “just train harder” What we work on (choose your priority) Winning 1v1 without fouls: angle, distance, tackle timing, shoulder control Positioning that saves legs: where to stand, when to step, when to delay Playing out from the back: first touch, passing lanes, pressure exits Pressing & recovery: triggers, sprint patterns, tracking runners Confidence under pressure: calm decisions, not panic clears How a session runs Quick assessment and objective Targeted drills with immediate corrections Game-speed reps + situational play Short action plan for the week Languages English / Ukrainian / Russian If you want training that makes you harder to beat next match—not just tired—book a session.Let's elevate your game!
