AZ's BEST GOALKEEPER TRAINING

About Myself & Top Hand Performance Goalkeeper Development 

Hey folks! I'm Coach Zach & I'm an independent, 'club neutral' goalkeeper trainer, personal trainer, strength & conditioning specialist, as well as a specialist in youth fitness. I am based out of Goodyear, AZ, however I cater to keepers from all end of the Valley. My education is in fitness, sports administration & business - holding 3 degrees; an Associates, a Bachelors in Sports & Fitness & a Masters Degree in Sports Administration. I'm also certified as a Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist & Certified Youth Fitness Specialist.

​​

I myself grew up in Southern California playing soccer from a young age, I always played hockey & later got involved in weight lifting, calisthenics & plyometrics. As a footballer, I played  from rec to club, high school to college & then beyond! Through high school I trained professionally with Zac Abdel, who then was the trainer for the Los Angeles Galaxy, most recently with Toronto FC - both out of the MLS.

​

Once I graduated High School, I played out of Moorpark College ranking 5th in the state of California in goals against, I was named to the WSC 1st All-Conference team, the WSC 2nd All-Region team, I received All-League Honorable Mention & was nominated for All-American. From there I was selected to received a full scholarship to play out of South Georgia, where I led the entire NAIA in saves, saves per game & received All-League Honorable Mention twice.

​​

After college I moved into playing in the USL, the NPSL & briefly played, & worked in the back office, for a team out of the UPSL. Throughout this experience I was humbled to compete with teams such as the LA Galaxy, (now defunct) Chivas USA, Mexico's U-20 National Team, & Puebla FC out of the Mexico's 1st Division.

While in the USL, I held on to #1 in the nation for several years in saves, saves per game, minutes played, as well as received All-League Honorable Mention in the USL multiple times, as well as in the NPSL, where I was also named to the NPSL All-Star selection. During this time I trained with Ruben Messina, who played professionally in Argentina, was the head of Youth Goalkeeper Development for the LA Galaxy & most recently coaching for Fresno Fuego of the USL.

During this time I also maintained a full time clientele as a certified personal trainer, a corrective exercise specialist, a strength & conditioning coach for my USL team & a certified nutritionist for both my clientele & the team. I worked out of every major gym in my 17 year career, owned my own personal training businesses, & trained/managed gyms out of three different states since 2006. I specialize in sport specific training & development, youth fitness, corrective exercise, functional training, plyometrics, as well as bariatrics & body sculpting. I have worked with M.S, Diabetes (both type I & II), both pre & post surgical bariatric patients, spinal dystrophy, neuropathy, arthritis, weight loss & gain, body fat reduction, & so much more.
