For the last decade, I’ve lived in youth soccer — coaching, developing, and helping players understand the game on a deeper level.

I’ve worked across MLS Next systems, elite academies, private training environments, and high-performance programs, giving me a unique perspective on what actually moves a player forward. 

One thing I’ve learned? 

Most players don’t need more drills — they need clarity. 

  • Clarity on their decision-making

  • Clarity on their tendencies

  • Clarity on what’s holding them back… and what will unlock the next level

ONE2WATCH was created to solve that.

My Approach

Most parents — whether they’ve never played the sport or played at a high level — end up dealing with the same problem:

Youth soccer doesn’t give you clear AND honest feedback.

Teams train.
Games happen.
But very little actual development occurs without clarity.

That’s where my approach comes in.

I break the game down the way true high-performance environments do — the details most clubs don’t have the time, staff, or expertise to teach:

  • Scanning Habits (how often a player checks their surroundings)

  • Positioning + Spacing in Buildup, Transition, and Defending

  • Tempo Control and Decision-Making Under Pressure

  • Pressing Triggers, Defensive Cues, and Moments to Step or Hold

  • Body Orientation and Receiving Angles

  • Patterns in the Final Third

  • Strengths, Weaknesses, Tendencies, and Blind Spots

Whether your player is:

  • In 9v9 learning the foundation

  • Transitioning to 11v11 and needs structure

  • Or already pushing for ECNL, ECNL-RL, MLS Next, GA or College ID

I give you the one thing the youth system rarely provides:
a clear roadmap of what your player actually needs.

Players already play — and that’s great.
Many also do private training, which is important.

But without the cognitive understanding behind their actions, they’re missing the part that ties everything together.

A lot of players watch highlights on YouTube. They study the best goals, the top moments, the flashy clips… but that’s not how real football works.
The game isn’t a highlight reel — it’s 70+ minutes of small decisions, little movements, and endless actions that shape the outcome.

That’s what I help players see.
Those invisible details that separate good players from players who truly understand the game.

My goal is simple:
Give players clarity.
Give parents confidence.
And help every player — from 9v9 to full 11v11 — build the foundation and football IQ required to take the next step, whatever that step may be.
