Player & academy coach
I am a former professional player and academy coach. I came up at Universidad Católica in Chile, played professionally in England (Bradford City) and Belgium (Royal Racing FC Montegnée), and represented Chile at youth international level. As a coach I have worked at RCD Espanyol in Spain and with the Philadelphia Union academy in the United States, across different age groups from youth to elite.
My focus is player development — improving technical skills, game understanding and decision-making through training, video analysis and individual feedback. My goal is to help players understand the game better and reach their full potential in a professional environment.
