COACH BIO

Born in Mexico and raised in Los Angeles, Chris grew up surrounded in a soccer loving culture. As a kid he played pickup games with his peers and neighborhood friends and naturally developed a passion for the sport. Later as a teenager, he joined more competitive recreational teams that participated in local and regional tournaments. While playing competitively he would constantly think of ways to improve his skills, leadership and studied new methods on winning matches. His interest soon shifted more towards game strategy and tactics.

After high school, Chris studied business, leadership and management. With all the versatile challenges of urban cities; good, poor, crime, wealth and cultural diversity, he grew interested in entrepreneurship. He realized opportunities are everywhere for anybody willing to put in the work. As a result of his entrepreneurial spirit and trial and error, Chris was able to build a few successful business ventures.

Chris wants to pass on his experience and values to his team by building a family oriented environment where young players can develop to their maximum ability. His goal: to instill the values of leadership, discipline, positive thinking, dedication, respect, critical thinking, and a high work ethic to the players. His goal is to develop technically sound players that have a good understanding of the game tactically.
