OUR STORY
Soccer changed my life long before I ever became a coach. After moving from Miami to Santiago, Chile as a shy kid, the game helped me find confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging. What started with struggling to even understand “futbol” eventually became a lifelong passion that taught me discipline, resilience, leadership, and the value of hard work. From overcoming setbacks and becoming captain of my school team in Chile and in the US, to earning a high level of recognition in high school and club soccer, and later playing semi-professionally, the game shaped the person I am today. Top 1 Soccer Training was created to give back to the community and help inspire the next generation through the same sport that gave me so much.
At Top 1 Soccer Training, our mission is to develop confident, disciplined, and passionate players through high-level training and a positive competitive environment. We believe soccer is more than a game - it is an opportunity to build character, leadership, resilience, and lifelong values that extend far beyond the field. Every session is designed to help players grow not only as athletes, but as people.
our mission
WHAT SETS US APART
Every session is designed to replicate the intensity, speed, and decision-making players face in real matches. We focus on developing intelligent players who can adapt, compete, and perform confidently under pressure - not just complete drills.
GAME-REALISTIC TRAINING
At Top 1 Soccer Training, we believe the lessons learned through soccer are just as important as the skills developed on the field. Our environment promotes discipline, leadership, resilience, confidence, accountability, and respect in every player we work with.
DEVELOPMENT BEYOND SOCCER
Top 1 Soccer Training was built from genuine love for the game and the desire to positively impact the next generation. Every player is treated with attention, energy, and care because their development journey matters both on and off the field.
AUTHENTIC PASSION FOR PLAYER GROWTH
We create an atmosphere that challenges players to give maximum effort every session while supporting and pushing one another to improve. Growth comes from consistency, mentality, and commitment - and those standards are reflected throughout our training environment.
