Chris Crisan

Staff Coach

I like to focus my training around the long-established pillars of soccer development: technical, tactical, physical and psychological. I rejoice with every player that reaches excellence and mastery of skills, the overall understanding and passion for the game. Developing the excellent characteristics of team play that will last a lifetime is also a huge priority in my coaching.

I encourage everyone to set high standards for themselves and to understand that achieving those heights is possible, only through persistent and dedicated training, a full commitment to the game and a relentless passion for the game. These characteristics intertwined with integrity, courage, and purpose are keystones that will make every individual successful in all avenues of life.

I have a USSF B license since 2008 and an International Sports Manager License since 2010.

I help develop players and counsel them for reaching their highest potential. Also work with different Academies in US and Europe, organizing training camps and high-level tournaments.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering with a speciality in Industrial Robotics.
