To introduce myself, I am a native of Brazil with over twenty years of experience as a professional and semi-professsional soccer player.
For the past few years, I have been helping children in the US develop their skills by teaching them the fundamental and technical aspects of the game of soccer.
In 1993, I had the opportunity to be a part of two important events in the Hartford, CT area.
The first one was "Soccer Blast: USA Legends of Soccer" tour, where I had the opportunity and previlege
to work with reputable players such as Desmond Armstrong and Michelle Akers Stahl
both from the US national team at the time. Hundreds of children ages 8-16, came to improve
their knowledge and skill. The second was the US CUP '93 where I had the privilege to work
with the American and Brazilian national teams.
I am continuing my work here in Hillsborough County by teaching and helping children develop their skills. The areas in which I concentrate the most are the accuracy of passing the ground ball, finishing with the three part of the foot (inside, laces, and three toe kick), control of high ball (chest, knee and foot), and a series of exercises that improve the players ability and builds confidence to play at a higher level.
I feel very strongly that we should take advantage of a child's innate ability to learn while at the same time teaching them the beauty of the game of soccer.
Yours in soccer,
Coach Romildo Sanches
Former Brazilian Pro and US Semi-Pro
