Development that lasts
Reach your goals without losing the game you love
Young players change fast. Coordination, confidence, and decision making arrive on different clocks. Jerome starts with what the player already feels is working — then names the details that unlock the next level.
It is as important to sharpen a strength as it is to close a weakness. Sessions stay demanding and joyful, because that is how the work actually sticks.

Meet Coach Jerome
A forward’s education, taught one player at a time
Coaching started the day Jerome signed his first professional contract at 18 with VfB Stuttgart. He was fascinated by how precisely the staff could read an opponent — and he began training Stuttgart’s youth players, ages 6 to 16, on the side.
He came through the Hertha BSC academy in Berlin, the same pathway that produced John Brooks, Kevin Boateng, Antonio Rüdiger, and Nico Schulz. Four years at Stuttgart brought a Bundesliga debut. At Fortuna Düsseldorf he helped win the 2. Bundesliga title and promotion. In Texas he led El Paso Locomotive with 12 goals and a Western Conference Final run, then signed with David Beckham’s Inter Miami CF for the club’s first MLS season — and later trained on loan with Fort Lauderdale CF.
Along the way he earned two senior caps for the United States Men’s National Team, plus years in the U-18, U-20, and U-23 programs. He still trains the way he wished someone had trained him: individually, with joy, and with a clear picture of the player’s own goals before the first cone goes down.

Inside the work
Train with purpose, in the Florida light
Sessions live on grass in Fort Lauderdale — cones, ladders, finishing to the corners, and the kind of one-touch work players still talk about on the ride home.
What families and athletes notice
Progress they can feel
Parents in Fort Lauderdale — and families in town for a week — talk about confidence, cleaner first touches, and players who ask to come back.
“Phenomenal. We were in town on vacation and my kid wanted to get some touches in. Coach J modified his coaching to accommodate our short stay. Kind, patient, the right level of firm, and extremely knowledgeable. My kid returned to his travel team with more confidence.”
“He quickly identified a few key areas holding my 9-year-old daughter back after a short observation. She made the adjustments right away. Friendly, patient, and knowledgeable — his experience really shows.”
“Fantastic technical expertise and a very patient teacher. He immediately made a strong connection with my 15-year-old son and gave him great confidence. Sessions are positive in every way.”
“So happy to have found Jerome while on Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale. Patient, kind, professional, and he made the sessions fun. I only wish we lived closer.”
“Very relatable with my 7-year-old son — fun, instructional, and competitive. Two sessions stuck with him. He looks forward to training. Highly recommend.”
“My girls learned a ton, were totally engaged, and had a blast. High-level coaching with a great vibe.”
“His session plan was tailored to my 13-year-old’s skill level. Constant encouragement, a balance of support and challenge, and a fun, dynamic environment. My son is eagerly looking forward to the next session.”
“My child is very shy and told me at the break he wouldn’t come back. At the end of the session he was happy and said he likes Jerome very much. I’m very pleased with the patience and professionalism.”
