"Soccer is a game of quality repetition, the smarter you train, the better you'll be"
ABOUT ME
Sergio Palomino
Born in Monterrey, Mexico, and moving to the United States at nine months old brought me to the wonderful city of Issaquah, Washington. Having a soccer ball at my foot at the age of four developed into a lifelong passion and appreciation for the game of soccer. From the desert heat of Monterrey, Mexico to the downpours of Navarra, Spain and everything in between. I have had the blessing of playing and coaching the beautiful game of soccer throughout North America and Europe. I am passionate about teaching the proper fundamentals and skills to the younger generation so that they can fulfill their potential as players.
