I grew up in Peru, South America. I played soccer in the streets with the neighborhood kids. I never had anyone coach me. I was a decent player, yet not the best. I played soccer in college (Kansas) and I noticed guys with skinny legs kicking the ball hard. I then realized that it was not about power, but technique.  From thereon, I started with the basics, focusing on technique. I improved my game in college and loved to dribble and be a play maker. When I moved to Raleigh NC, I played in TASL and started to volunteer as a coach for NCFC. Since then, I found my passion to coach , focusing on technique.
