Real Results. Real Development
From beginners to playing in Premier, ECNL, varsity high school, college soccer, state cup winners…
the goal has always been the same:
Help players improve in real games, where it matters most.
Proven Player Development
(1) “Josue is one of the great ones. Our daughter Mac played at an early age under his tutelage. He was the player developer for our age group at our past club, and he was always mentoring players and coaches. He has a long term approach to soccer. He focuses on helping players ‘see’ the game and play 3 or 4 plays ahead. Sure, he’s a master technician and can help with skills development, but that’s just one of the many skills Josue imported into the mind of the players on Mac’s team. Team play, hustle, body positioning, movement, how to strike the ball, placement etc, all skills that helped Mac develop into a great ECNL player. At 13 years old, she has the ability to compete at the top levels, and has desires to play on bigger and better stages. We will always be grateful that Josue took Mac at an early age and developed her sense of assisting, scoring, and teamwork so she can flourish the way she does now!”
-Heath T, father of a 2013 girl that moved to an ECNL team.
(2) “We met Coach Josue when our son Crosby was playing on a recreation team. He invited our son to try out for his club team, and the growth in just one year has been beyond impressive. Not only did he elevate Crosby’s technical and physical skills, but he also taught him true sportsmanship, how to think strategically on the field, and how to practice and improve on his own at home. What stands out most is the motivation and confidence Coach Josue instills in his players. He genuinely loves soccer and truly cares about the boys he coaches, and that shows in the way they develop both as athletes and as young men. Thanks to his guidance and leadership, our son earned a spot on the club’s Premier team the following season. We are incredibly grateful for the impact he has had on Crosby’s growth and love for the game. Thanks Josue.”
-Kim T, mother of a 2015 boy that moved to a Premier level team.
(3) “Training with Josue was one of the best decisions I made for my soccer career. When I first started working with him 5 years ago, I was playing for a lower level club team and knew that if I wanted to compete at a higher level, I needed to improve my skills. I had the passion and the drive to get better, but I didn’t yet have the technical ability or confidence to play at the level I wanted. That’s when I decided to start training with Josue.
A few times each week we would meet for individual training sessions where he worked with me on technical skills, decision making, and understanding the game the right way. He didn’t just run drills he explained why things mattered and how to apply them in real game situations. On the days we didn’t meet in person, he gave me specific workouts and skill exercises to complete on my own. Those “homework” assignments pushed me to stay consistent and keep improving even when we weren’t training together. The combination of his coaching and the work I put in outside of sessions helped me develop faster than I expected.
Training with Josue also taught me the importance of being coachable, disciplined, and resilient. Progress didn’t happen overnight, but over time I began to see real improvement in my game. Because of that work, I was able to play varsity high school soccer, move up to one of the highest level club teams, and eventually win a State Cup championship. Those experiences were goals I once thought were out of reach. Soccer has been a huge part of my life, and Josue played an important role in helping me reach my potential as a player. If you’re serious about improving and willing to put in the work, I highly recommend training with him.”
-Owen H, 2007 soccer player.
Game understanding and development
(4) “Josue is a top-tier trainer who understands the mechanics of the game inside and out. He helped my son transition from a solid player to a standout one through focused, intelligent training that actually made sense and stuck with my son. Whether he was mentoring the team or providing specialized private instruction, Josue’s ability to communicate complex concepts in a way that clicks for young athletes is unmatched. If you’re looking for a coach who delivers visible improvements and builds genuine confidence, Josue is the one.”
-Matt D, father of a 2013 boy.
(5) “We feel so lucky to have Josue as our son’s coach. He’s truly a rockstar. His patience and genuine investment in our son’s growth really set him apart. Josue even took the time to visit our home to walk through ways he could improve, and he regularly shares helpful training videos. Since working with Josue, we’ve seen huge growth in our son’s game. His understanding of positioning and spacing has improved. He keeps his eyes up, makes smarter passes, and his first touch is noticeably more controlled. His technical skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting have all taken a big step forward, along with his confidence on the field. Josue teaches the game beautifully and truly knows it at a high level. I highly recommend him to any family looking for a knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated coach.”
-Bryce and Shelby T, parents of a 2015 boy.
(6) “Working with Josue has been a great experience for my son. Josue is a truly exceptional soccer coach: knowledgeable, dedicated, and deeply invested in each player’s development. What sets Josue apart is his ability to both encourage and instruct. He not only motivates my son to do his best, but also gives him clear, specific guidance on exactly what he needs to work on to improve.
Since training with Josue, my son has made noticeable strides in ball handling, passing, spacing, and understanding how to contribute effectively as part of a team. Josue doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach; he goes above and beyond to work with each child individually, helping them build confidence while sharpening their technical skills. If you’re looking for a coach who is passionate, committed, and genuinely focused on helping young athletes reach their full potential, then I wholeheartedly recommend Josue, especially for players who are ready to put in the time and effort to grow.”

(7) “Josue is such a skilled, talented and passionate coach! My son has been with Josue for the past 2 years, and I am blown away by his progress, as well as every member of his team’s progress. Josue is incredible at teaching the boys how to read the game, how to work together, and how to get out of tough situations.
Josue coaches the boys on technique and skill, that helps train them how to develop the muscle memory and the skills to maneuver the ball with precision and control. He has the boys take what they learn at practice, and shows them how to do it at home, which helps them develop the skills quickly and keeps them consistent.

I love Josue. I have shared concerns I have had with him, regarding my son, and he has heard me and helped me understand the game more, and has given me ideas on how to help my son progress and work through nerves and stress. Josue took my son under his wing and has literally built him from the ground up. I have seen him do that with every single one of the players. It’s truly amazing to watch him build these kids into these awesome soccer players!”
-Camilla, mother of a 2015 boy.
(8) “Josue is an incredible coach: attentive, observant, passionate, and caring. He is also friendly, but not overly so, which allows him to be an effective teacher/head coach to the players. We always feel that Josue’s best interest is in the players and that he is ready to build up your player if your player is willing to put the work in.
Our son did not have the best focus or soccer skills when we first came to Josue, but he has grown so much through working with him and following his curriculum. Whenever Josue saw any concerns or specific needs, he communicated them to our player and to us immediately and directly, which played a big part in our son’s growth. Our son now knows names of different soccer techniques and how to incorporate them into soccer; he also understands what it means to add value to the team.

-Yeri P, mother of a 2017 boy.
(9) “Josue is a great teacher who really understands the game of soccer. He breaks skills down to the fundamentals in a way that makes them easy for kids to understand. He’s invested in his players and genuinely cares about their development.”
-Nick R, father of a 2018 boy.
Confidence and human impact
(10) “We are incredibly grateful for the impact Josue has had on our two sons, both as players and as individuals. From day one, it was clear that this wasn’t just about soccer: it was about growth, confidence, and believing in their potential. Josue took the time to truly understand each of our boys, recognizing their strengths while patiently helping them improve their weaknesses. Their skills on the field have grown so much, but even more importantly, their confidence and love for the game have skyrocketed. They now play with purpose, determination, and a belief in themselves that simply wasn’t there before. We’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is for young athletes to have someone who truly believes in them. Josue has made a lasting difference in our sons’ lives, and we couldn’t be more thankful!”
-Rachel M, mother of a 2015 boy and a 2018 boy
(11) “Josue is always respectful of both players and parents/guardians. Mid-season I brought a refugee boy to him asking if he could give this boy a chance to play soccer. Josue responded by welcoming him and giving positive feedback. In the two short months that this boy has been on the team I’m sure his soccer skills have improved, but I notice a growth in his confidence and in his ability to be a team member. His attention skills have improved. He feels welcomed and cared for by his team and coach. Josue strives to build confidence and belonging through respect and through challenging the boys to work hard together. He teaches the boys to notice their teammates’ strengths and weaknesses and help each other improve. Josue isn’t just teaching soccer, he is building confidence and teaching crucial life skills.”
-Sue P, assists the family of a 2016 refugee boy.
(12) “Coach Josue was such a blessing in my daughter’s first year of soccer. From day one, he created an environment that was positive, encouraging, and focused on building confidence. He didn’t just teach the fundamentals of the game. He taught teamwork, discipline, and belief in yourself. What stood out most was his patience, and the way he made every player feel important, no matter their skill level. We’re so grateful for the time, energy, and heart Coach Josue poured into our daughter. Any athlete would be lucky to train with him.”
-Sarah F, mother of a 2013 girl.
(13) “We have been so grateful for the way Josue has poured his heart into our son this season. He truly goes above and beyond not just teaching skills and strategy, but taking the time to understand each player and help them grow with confidence. It’s clear he genuinely cares about their progress both on and off the field. I’ve never seen a coach quite like him, and the positive impact he’s had on these boys will last far beyond soccer.”
-Mariah P, mother of a 2018 boy.
Coaching Style and Character
(14) “Josue has the perfect balance of love and empathy for his players, and the necessary coaching when things are tough. He understands the game at a very high level and helped my son not only be a better player but understand the field and his specific position better. Highly recommend Josue.”
-Tony A, father of a 2016 boy.
(15) “My son has had the fortune of being coached by Josue. Josue is knowledgeable about soccer and also knowledgeable about teaching each individual player uniquely. He has helped him learn the game, learn to push himself as an athlete, and helped him have fun while working hard. He goes above and beyond to help and inspire his players. I myself played 3 club sports growing up, and have also coached club soccer as an adult. I have never seen a coach, now or in my youth, that is as dedicated to improving athletes as Josue is. He invests in his players and will find ways to help them become the best that they can be.”
-Melissa S, mother of a 2018 boy, former club soccer coach.
(16) “My son has loved Josue as a coach. He has learned so many crucial fundamentals with his guidance and always has a lot of fun . I personally love how much he pushes my son to learn and challenge himself, but is balanced with a lot of great encouragement. He sets high expectations for his performance, but prioritizes skill and development over winning with bad fundamentals. I’d highly recommend Josue!”
-Cameron T, father of a 2018 boy.
(17) “Josue was my son’s team trainer. When we went into the soccer season our boys were really struggling, not winning a lot of games. By the end of the year they were winning most of their games. Josue has great soccer knowledge. More than that he really cares about the kids. He spends time with them, making sure they succeed. You can tell he really cares about them.”
-Brandi W, mother of a 2012 boy.
(18) “Coach brings great knowledge and structure to every practice, and the kids really respond to it. We have seen so much improvement in our son’s skills. He is truly dedicated and genuinely cares about helping each child grow and reach their potential.”
-Kathryn C, mother of a 2017 boy.
