JC Bertolini

Hi. I'm Coach JC.

I've been around the game of soccer for many years. I started playing the game at a young age, and while I no longer play competitively, I found I could have a positive impact while coaching. Through the years, I've been able to share my passion, knowledge, and respect of the game with hundreds of players and their families.

Coaching Experience

Through my professional experiences, I have gained a clear understanding and a strong appreciation for the teamwork required to ensure success within the soccer industry. This understanding, as well as my history of being a coach, team admin, club administrator, technical director, parent, and a former player, uniquely allows my to understand the game from a variety of perspectives.

Credentials

I support the value of life-long learning and have a proven record of attending various training opportunities. Through my work efforts and personal study, I have gained invaluable knowledge that has helped me obtain various soccer-specific credentials, including those from FIFA, LaLiga, NFHS, United Soccer Coaches, US Soccer, and other reputable organizations.
