I am a coach that is interested in every aspect of the game. I recently worked as both the Assistant Coach and Video Analyst for Atlanta United FC’s Professional Development Pathway (USL through U15). I am completing my UEFA A/Elite Youth A License and Master Coach Diploma.
Starting in 2015 I worked as the First-Team Performance Analyst for Columbus Crew SC under current USMNT Head Coach Gregg Berhalter where I was responsible for Tactical Analysis of Columbus Crew SC as well as Opponent Scouting. I joined this MLS First-Team technical staff at the age of 20.
Before joining Columbus, I worked as a volunteer assistant coach and video analyst for the University of North Georgia’s men’s soccer team in addition to many years of coaching at the youth and high school levels. I have worked with every level of player from recreational to the national team, both male and female.
Starting in 2017 I have worked with USMNT players on an individual basis in order to improve the players’ tactical development. Through training drills, analysis, and videos I improve the players’ positioning, body position, scanning (before, during, and after the action), decision-making, and execution. Everything comes from what a player sees and thinks, therefore everything is done to improve the individual perception and decision-making.
From 2017 to 2020 I worked in roles such as the associate head coach at Flowery Branch High School, the head coach and head of the video department at United Futbol Academy, and as a coach on the Georgia Olympic Development Program staff.
In January 2020 I joined the Atlanta United FC Academy as an assistant coach and video analyst – from there I worked with the 1st team and then moved into a role overseeing the USL and Academy. Some of my responsibilities include assisting in creating, preparing, and delivering training sessions. I also provide tactics and strategy for game-plans against upcoming opponents, analyze our matches, model, and trainings both qualitatively and quantitatively. Finally, I helped create, feedback, and improve the academy’s game model and principles of play.
