Youth Soccer Coach · Player Development & Mentorship
My passion for soccer began in first grade, playing in local recreational leagues where I developed a love for the game, learned the importance of teamwork, and built a strong foundation in soccer fundamentals.
As my skills and dedication grew, I progressed into more competitive soccer programs, advancing to the level of club soccer with organizations such as FC Dayton. Through years of training, practices, and competitive matches, I have developed a deeper understanding of the game, including technical skills, positioning, strategy, communication, and sportsmanship.
Now, at 16 years old, I am excited to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with the next generation of young players. My coaching approach focuses on helping children build confidence, develop strong fundamentals, understand teamwork, and, most importantly, have fun playing soccer.
My goal is to be a positive role model and mentor, helping young athletes develop their skills and the same lifelong appreciation for soccer that began for me in first grade.— Coach Jackson
Why a 16-year-old coach?
Young players will run through a wall for an older kid who can do the moves they've only seen on TV. Jackson is close enough in age to make every lesson fun — and far enough along to show them exactly how it's done.
He started where they are, kicking a ball around the yard with friends. Six years of year-round team soccer later, he has the footwork, the engine and the game sense to teach the basics properly and push players who are ready for more.
More touches. More confidence. More fun.


Skill of the day
Basic and intermediate skills, one at a time, until they stick — and the rules of the game from a player who has done the referee training.
Settling the ball with the inside, outside and sole — so it stops where you want it, not three steps away.
BasicClose control at speed, then the moves that beat a defender: step-overs, cuts, the pull-back and the Cruyff turn.
Basic → IntermediateWeight, accuracy and both feet. Open your body before the ball arrives so the next pass is already lined up.
BasicPlant foot, laces, follow through. Placement first, power second — and finishing with the weaker foot.
Basic → IntermediateSmall-space touches from two seasons of FC Dayton futsal: quick feet, sole rolls and fast decisions.
IntermediateThrow-ins, offside, fouls and restarts, explained by a player who has done the referee training — no more confusion on game day.
