edition STATE CUP
Alessandro Sbrizzo
Executive Director
[email protected]
fter the successful launch of SoccerPlus
-with an edition dedicated to the Weston
Cup & Showcase 2016- in both paper
and online edition (www.soccerplus.
us), we continue with our goal: to spread
the values of soccer in U8 to U19 categories, but
keeping an eye on other major soccer protagonists
in the United States and especially in Florida. And
from the cover it is evident the emotion: our strong
theme is the State Cup 2016 organized by the FYSA.
In this edition we also bring interviews with two
of the most recognized coaches in the soccer
environment: Matias Asorey, from one of the
strongest and most beloved clubs, Kendall Soccer
Coalition, and the recently awarded “Coach of
the Year - East Zone 2015-2016” Johnny Ramos,
Director of Coaching at the club Albion SC
Plantation.We also started the tour, one by one,
by all soccer clubs in Florida and chose a small
club, but full of charm and passion: “Kendall
Hammocks Lightining”.
In the central pages, the reader will find a topic that
will inspire him: “The Italian Experience” as we
called the trip to the land of “calcio” that a Weston
team made to an international tournament. And
we finish with our technical area, health and a
profile of one of most admired player by girls who
play soccer: Alex Morgan.
Welcome to Soccerplus, the match starts!
»Una edición de carne y hueso. Luego del éxito en el
lanzamiento de Soccerplus -con una edición dedicada a la
Weston Cup & Showcase 2016- tanto en su edición en papel como en online (www.soccerplus.us), continuamos
con nuestro objetivo: difundir los valores del fútbol en las
categorías U8 hasta la U19, sin dejar de mirar hacia los
otros grandes protagonistas del fútbol en Estados Unidos
y la Florida en especial. Y desde la portada ya se advierte
la tensión: nuestro tema fuerte es la State Cup 2016 que
organiza la FYSA.
En esta edición traemos además entrevistas con dos técnicos muy reconocidos en el ambiente del fútbol: Matías
Asorey, de uno de los clubes más fuertes y queridos,
Kendall Soccer Coalition, y con el recientemente premiado
“Coach del Año - Zona Este 2015-2016”, Johnny Ramos,
Director de Entrenadores en el club Albion SC de Plantation. También iniciamos el recorrido, uno a uno, por todos
los clubes de la Florida, y elegimos un club pequeño,
pero lleno de encanto y pasión: el “Kendall Hammocks
Lightining”. En las centrales encontará el lector un tema
que lo inspirará: “La Experiencia Italiana” como llamamos
al viaje a la tierra del “calcio” que realizó un equipo de
Weston a un torneo internacional. Y finalizamos con
nuestra zona técnica, de salud y un perfil de una de las jugadoras más admiradas por las chicas que juegan fútbol:
Alex Morgan.

his past weekend, on the 23rd and 24th of April, the 16
teams for each category of the State Cup 2016 (organized by
FYSA) were chosen. This year the competition has been very
intense, with the coaching level rising to the point where
the coordinators, clubs, players, parents, and sponsors can
breathe with satisfaction. The teams that have reached these
final stages represent a part of the future of soccer in Florida, and beginning
next Saturday May the 7th, these emotions will be released.
U13 Boys
A tough battle
among brothers
The least expected has occurred: In this
competing group which holds teams
with presence such as OCYS 02 03B
Pro Academy of Orlando - #1 in Florida
rankings and coached by Craig Melton-,
the C1TBU TAMPA BAY UNITED CLASSIC
BOYS 02 placed in the #2 ranking, and the
CHARGERS SC CLW B02-03 SELECT which
occupy the #4 slot, two teams of Weston
FC were placed to clash head to head in a
battle among brothers. Only these things
happen in soccer! What a tough and even
group it turned out to be.
The greats have arrived… and the surprises
The largest clubs in Florida have now placed their squads in the different
“brackets” for the round of 16 and quarter finals. Soccerplus is recapping
how some of the most known and feared teams arrive as well as the surprises
that always seem to be present in soccer.
»LA HORA DE LA VERDAD
Ya están listos los 16 equipos en todas las categorías - Boys, Girls, Mens
Womens- desde U13 hasta U19. Se vienen unas finales apasionantes, donde
los equipos con mayor fortaleza física y mental pasarán a las finales. ¡Pero
ya todos merecen nuestro aplauso!
El pasado fin de semana, los días 23 y 24 de abril quedaron definidos los 16 equipos de cada categoría en la State
Cup 2016, que organiza la FYSA. Este año la competencia
ha sido muy intensa, el nivel técnico ha subido, y tanto
los organizadores, los jugadores, los clubes, los padres y
los patrocinadores pueden respirar con satisfacción: los
equipos que llegaron a ésta etapa final, representan parte
del futuro del fútbol en la Florida. A partir del próximo
sábado 7 de mayo, se desatan las emociones.
»Llegan los grandes...y las sorpresas.
Los clubes más grandes del sur de la Florida, ya colocaron a sus equipos en las diferentes “brackets” de cara a
los octavos y cuartos de final. Soccerplus hace un repaso

temidos, así como las sorpresas que siempre presenta el
fútbol. modelo a seguir.
U13 Boys: dura batalla entre
hermanos
Sucedió lo menos pensado: en este
competido grupo que presenta a equipos de
peso como OCYS 02 03B Pro Academy
de Orlando - #1 en el Ranking de la Florida y
dirigido por Craig Melton-, el C1TBU TAMPA
BAY UNITED CLASSIC BOYS 02 ubicado en
el #2 del ranking, CHARGERS SC CLW B0203 SELECT que ocupa el #4, los dos equipos
de Weston FC quedaron frente a frente en un
duelo entre hermanos. ¡Cosas del fútbol y los
sorteos! Un grupo bravo y difícil, muy parejo.

A very level
group
Without a definite
favorite
Another “group of death”: In this group
the hardy FKK 97/98 FLORIDA KRAZE
BLACK, currently #1 in the Florida rankings,
the CORAL GABLES TOROS 97/98 which
appear in 3rd place, and the FLORIDA
RUSH 97 RUSH BOYS, which occupy the
5th slot. This group will undoubtedly be
under the eyes of the “talent hunters”.
One has to also keep an eye out for the
FLORIDA KRAZE BLACK, who have one
of the top goal scoring forwards, as was
demonstrated on the weekend of the
23rd and 24th of April. Also, the TOROS
OF CORAL GABLES, who advanced with a
perfect point tally of 9 points from their
three matches.
This group is very well fought: featuring the
ladies of CAPE CORAL SA 00/01 CYCLONE
GIRLS BLACK, with the #2 rank in Florida;
alongside them also shine the “sharks”
of the DAVIE UNITED SHARKS 00/01
BLUE, who hold slot #3; also among the 16
classified teams are the #5 ranked young
ladies of the SPACE COAST UNITED 00/01
GIRLS TRAVEL RED, who will not be letting
this opportunity pass them. In addition, we
cannot lose sight of the A2WES WESTON
FC U15 PRE-ACADEMY, the squads of
TEAM BOCA 00/01 GIRLS WHITE, and the
CHARGERS SC CLW G00-01 SELECT, all of
which achieved a perfect tally of 9 out of a
possible 9 points.
Among the 16 selected groups is the best
of the best. As a matter of fact, this round
is heavily disputed with the top 8 teams
being for the most part uncertain. One has
to be very cautious of the C1TBU TAMPA
BAY UNITED PREMIER GIRLS 98, #2 in
the Florida rankings who won their three
matches. Also the ladies from FKK 98/99
FLORIDA KRUSH BLACK, with 9 out of 9
points.
U18 Mens: los grandes van por
todo
Otro “grupo de la muerte”: aquí están los
durísimos FKK 97/98 FLORIDA KRAZE
BLACK, actualmente en el #1 del ranking de la
Florida, los CORAL GABLES TOROS 97/98
que aparecen en el tercer lugar y el FLORIDA
RUSH 97 RUSH BOYS, que ocupa el #5. Un
grupo que estará en las miradas de todos los
“cazatalentos”. Hay que estar muy pendientes
del equipo FLORIDA KRAZE BLACK, con
una de las delanteras más goleadoras, como
lo demostró el fin de semana del 23 y 24 de
abril. También los TOROS DE CORAL GABLES,
que pasaron con puntaje perfecto: 9 puntos
en sus tres partidos..
U15 Girls: un grupo muy parejo
Este grupo está muy peleado: aparecen
las chicas de CAPE CORAL SA 00/01
CYCLONE GIRLS BLACK, con el lugar #2 en
el ranking de Florida; a su lado brillan también
las jugadoras de los “tiburones” de DAVIE
UNITED SHARKS 00/01 BLUE, que son las
#3; y están entre los 16 equipos clasificados,
las rankeadas #5, las jóvenes de SPACE
COAST UNITED 00/01 GIRLS TRAVEL
RED, quienes tampoco están dispuestas
a dejar pasar esta oportunidad. No perder
de vista a las chicas del A2WES WESTON
FC U15 PRE-ACADEMY, que llegaron con
puntaje perfecto, y a los equipos de TEAM
BOCA 00/01 GIRLS WHITE, y CHARGERS
SC CLW G00-01 SELECT, ambos igual con 9
puntos sobre 9 posibles.
U17 Girls: sin favorito definido
Entre los 16 equipos seleccionados, está lo
mejor de lo mejor. Sin embargo está muy
disputada la ronda, y los mejores 8 equipos
son una incógnita. Sin embargo hay que estar
pendientes de C1TBU TAMPA BAY UNITED
PREMIER GIRLS 98, #2 en el ranking de la
Florida y que ganó sus tres juegos. También
las chicas de FKK 98/99 FLORIDA KRUSH
BLACK, con 9 puntos sobre o posibles

coaches, who under the
technical direction of Nelson
Vargas, leads boys and girls
in the categories U8, U9,
U10 and U12 at the Kendall
Hammocks Lightning Club, one of the
founders of soccer en Miami. Even from the
club emerged new clubs that increased the
activity of soccer in the city.
Passionate
The first thing to notice in Victor is his passion
for soccer and transmitting his knowledge to
the players. Victor developed, since he was
very young, a taste for playing soccer in his
hometown Mar del Plata, Argentina. At 19
he was injured and that’s when he started to
prepare himself to coach children. Currently,
he has 21 years of coaching experience and
four years with the Kendall Hammocks
Lightning Team.

“What pleases me the most is when one of the
players of the club or a team wins a tournament”,
Victor says, pointing to the recent triumph of
the U13 team in the Regional Championship.
Kendall Hammocks Lightning has 150
players among boys and girls in the recreational
program. And in the competitive, 250 players.
Victor says that “in the city of Kendall there
are three strong teams and that’s why the
competition is intense”. And he goes on saying
that, “although soccer is more popular these
days, a better infrastructure is required in
Kendall compared to what exists in Broward
“, concluded, as he walks away to continue
training at the Wild Lime Park, to a cloud of little
soccer promises in Florida.

KENDALL SOCCER COALITION
Matias
ASOREY
A slow-speaking man who does not avoid
answers, Matias is the Technical Director of
Kendall SC. A successful coach, with all the
information in his head
ow did you begin your
work with Kendall SC?
I started with the “U.S. Soccer
Development Academy” program. It’s one of the most competitive
categories.
How is the Academy League?
The league is very difficult, a national
competition is played and is very difficult to get into a round-robin tournament. Each team gets to play about 30
games on a regular season.
How is the U18 team doing?
Last year, our U-18 team was among the
top 6 in the United States. They played
against three MLS teams, indicating the
level we have reached.
What can players expect
academically, the ones who are
already playing at this level?
Many guys of this club are attending the
best universities such as UCL or North
Caroline. Most of the guys are getting
scholarships because the scouts come
here since our team has already a name
and a recognized trajectory.
¿What about sport level?
We have sent among 15 to 19 players to
U.S. national teams. Right now we have a
boy who is fighting to be in the World Cup,
a guy who was here with us 2 months ago.
What are your plans now with
the Club?
We would like to have a future U-23, that
we don’t have right now. Most of our
Academy players go to university teams
and other MLS teams.
What is your personal experience in soccer?
I played with the International University of Florida, FIU team. Being elected
“Coach of the Year- East” for two consecutive years (2013-2014 and 2014-2015)
gave me the opportunity to work with
U-15 and U-16 U.S. national teams. I also
worked as the Technical Director of the
FIU team and others in this area. Now,
I’m with Kendall SC.
“We want the boys to
have the opportunity
to become
professionals.
Or they reach the best
university possible”
Matías joined Kendall SC in 2010 as a Program Director and head
coach of the U18 US Soccer Development Academy team. In the
2012-2013 he lead the U18 USSDA team to a third place finish in the
Southeast Division and a playoff berth and in 2013-2014 he led the
U16 USSDA to a top 15 finish in the country. He held the position of
Assistant Coach of the FIU Men’s Soccer Team from 2007 to 2012
and is also Head Coach of the Gulliver Prep Boys Varsity team.
Matías Asorey Matías was a four-year letter winner at FIU from 1999 through 2002,
US Soccer and ranks tied for ninth on the school’s all-time scoring list. He was
A License twice named the Atlantic Soccer Conference’s Player of the Year.
»MATÍAS ASOREY
De hablar pausado y sin evadir respuestas,
Matías es el Director Técnico de Kendall SC,
un club insignia del sur de la Florida. Un
entrenador exitoso, con todos los datos en
la cabeza.
»¿Cómo iniciaste tu trabajo con el Kendall SC?.
Inicié con el programa de “U.S. Soccer Development Academy”. Es una de las categorías más competitivas.
»¿Cómo es la liga Academia?. La liga es muy difícil, se
juega un torneo nacional y es muy difícil entrar en la liguilla. Cada equipo llega a jugar aproximadamente 30 partidos
en una temporada regular.
»¿Cómo marcha el equipo U18?. El año pasado el equi-
po U-18 de nuestro club estuvo entre los 6 mejores de todo
Estados Unidos. Jugaron contra tres equipos de la MLS, lo
cual indica el nivel que hemos alcanzado.
»¿Qué les espera a nivel académico a los jugadores
que ya están jugando en este nivel?. Muchos chicos de
este club han salido para las mejores universidades, como
UCL o North Caroline. La mayoría de los chicos están saliendo becados, porque los scouts vienen aquí porque nuestro
equipo ya tiene un nombre y una trayectoria reconocidas.
»¿Y a nivel deportivo?. Hemos mandando entre 15 a 19
jugadores a las selecciones nacionales de USA. En este momento tenemos un muchacho que está peleando por estar
en el Mundial, es un chico que hace dos meses estaba acá
con nosotros.
»¿Cómo es una semana de entrenamiento
en Kendall SC?. Los chicos entrenan cuatro veces,
para un total de entre ocho a diez horas a la semana,
y solo pueden estar en la liga de la Academia. Los fines
de semana hay competición. Es bastante sacrificio para
los muchachos, pues todos estudian y deben balancear el
mundo del fútbol con el de los estudios.
del equipo U-16, Luis Calix, es un profesional con mucho
talento: logró pasar del fútbol de segunda a primera división en Honduras. Ahora está con nosotros. Somos muy
exigentes para elegir a los entrenadores. También están
con nosotros- entre muchos entrenadores- John Ramos,
un reconocido entrenador a nivel nacional y Renatto Soriano, Director del Programa Boys.
»¿Qué planes tiene ahora con el Club?. Nos gustaría
tener a futuro un U-23, que ahora no lo tenemos. Esto
hace que la mayoría de nuestros jugadores en Academia vaya a equipos de universidades y otros a equipos
de MLS.
»¿Cuál es tu experiencia personal en el fútbol?. Yo
jugué con el equipo de la Universidad Internacional de
Florida, FIU. Al ser elegido “Coach del Año- Este “ durante
dos años consecutivos (2013-2014 y 2014-2015) tuve la
oportunidad de trabajar con la Selección de Estados Unidos U-15 y U-16. También trabajé como Director Técnico
del equipo de FIU y otros de esta zona. Ahora estoy con
Kendall SC.

Weston FC U16 at
the Beppe Viola Cup in Italy
ith high expectations
and desires to fulfill their dreams and
compete strongly, a
group of players of Weston FC U16
was in Italy, participating in the
famous tournament “Città di Arco
- Beppe Viola 2016”, a tournament
with more than 30 years of history,
in the small town of Arco, near Verona. The Weston club was the only
foreign guest of honor. Among the
participating clubs with their U16
teams were the greatest in Italy: AS
Roma, Lazio, Fiorentina, Juventus,
AC Milan and others. A real experience and a litmus test for Weston.
The first stop in Italy: The Milan
Malpensa airport and then continue the way towards the city of Verona ... the city of Romeo and Juliet
and soccer for a few days.
For best performance, the team left
Miami four days before the tournament, in order to adapt to schedule
changes, 11 hours difference between
Europe and Miami, and the Italian
winter indicating a temperature between 32 and 41 degrees Fahrenheit.
REAL-LIFE TEST
During this trip, the Weston FC U16
players experienced the reality of everyday life of a professional soccer
player. Upon arrival to the city of Verona, they stayed at the concentration
center of Chievo Verona, a professional team of the Italian series A. The
bedtime routine, sharing, and feeding
were made the professional way.
DAY-TO-DAY
The young people experienced a life
dedicated to the field, training and
rest. And besides soccer, boys had to
devote time for their school work, for
the days they’d be out. Daily training
was made in two steps: In the morning, adaptation, consisting of physical
and athletic. And more technical and
specific in the afternoon. The coach
Alessandro Sbrizzo says that was very
interesting to see physical and mental
adaptation of the players in the days
before the tournament.
BEYOND THE TOURNAMENT
The group where Weston FC played
turned out to be the most difficult,
in fact The Champion Tournament -
Atalanta was in group A. Weston
FC played three games, from
which got one loss, one tie and one
win in one last dramatic match.
Tournament rules only allow the
first in the group to advance.
After the third game, Weston FC
returned to Verona, there visited
the city and enjoyed a game of the
series A, Chievo Verona against
Milan. It was an experience to see
great players in one of the most
important leagues in the world.
Before the game, Weston FC could
watch the Chievo Verona training,
talk to the players and get advice
from them. On his last day in Italy,
Weston FC faced against Brescia,
team of the B series, in a friendly
game that ended in a 3-3 tie.
It was a very nice game where
players felt free and much more
confident and enjoyed playing
soccer. Throughout the process
there was no injured player due to
good preparation.
Weston FC represented Florida and
U.S. soccer greatly, in a demanding
and top-level competitive tournament.
GOOD
NEWS
Some directors of Italian clubs
showed interest in three or four
players of Weston FC. The idea
is to give these young boys
the opportunity to travel in the
coming months to Italy to carry
out a test to see if they meet
the necessary characteristics
to play in an Italian club. And
if they’re approved, they’d be
ready to start their career as
professional soccer players in
Italy.
The trip to Italy was a success
and could be performed thanks
to the experience of the Italian
professional agent Gaitano
Fedelle who through friendship
with former Italian professional soccer player and Director
of Coaching of Weston FC,
Alessandro Brizzio, could work
together to bring the Florida
club to the other side of the
world to exchange high level
soccer experiences.

First Match
Incidences: Weston FC played to win
on the field but the match was not so
easy in the first few minutes, and while
the team was adapted and settled,
their moves were improving and had a
chance to win.
“The end of this game left a bitter
taste because the result
0-0 didn’t reflect what happened
on the court. Weston FC deserved to
win but some mistakes stopped that
we could achieve it.”
Alessandro Sbrizzo
Coach Weston FC
Con grandes expectativas y deseos de cumplir
sus sueños y competir
Weston FC U16 en la Copa fuertemente, estuvo en
Italia un grupo de jugaBeppe Viola en Italia
dores de Weston FC U16,
participando en el famoso torneo “Cittá di Arco - Beppe
Viola 2016”, un torneo con más de 30 años de historia, en
la pequeña Ciudad del Arco, cerca de Verona. El Weston
fue el único club extranjero invitado de honor. Entre los
clubes participantes con sus equipos U16 estaban los
más grandes de Italia: AS Roma, Lazio, Fiorentina, Juventus, AC Milan entre otros. Una verdadera experiencia
y prueba de fuego para Weston. La primera parada en
Italia: el aeropuerto Milano Malpensa, para luego seguir
su camino rumbo a la ciudad de Verona...la ciudad de
Romeo y Julieta y del fútbol por unos días.
Para lograr un mejor desempeño, el equipo salió de Miami con cuatro días de anticipación al torneo, para así
adaptarse a los cambios de horario, 11 horas de diferencia entre Europa y Miami, y al invierno italiano que
marcaba una temperatura entre 0 y 5 grados Celsius.
»Prueba real. Durante este viaje, los jugadores del
Weston FC U16 experimentaron la realidad del día a día
de un futbolista profesional. A su llegada a la ciudad de
Verona, estuvieron concentrados en el Centro del Equipo
Chievo Verona, equipo profesional de la serie A italiana.
La rutina de dormir, compartir, y alimentarse se hizo a la
manera de los profesionales.
»El día a día. Los jóvenes vivieron una vida dedicada
a la cancha, entrenamiento y descanso. Y además del
fútbol, los chicos debían dedicar tiempo a sus tareas de
escuela, por los días que estarían fuera. El entrenamiento diario se realizaba en dos etapas: de adaptación, que
consistía en lo físico y atlético por la mañana. Y más
técnico y específico por la tarde. El técnico Alesandro
Sbrizzo cuenta que fue muy interesante ver la adaptación
física y mental de los jugadores en los días previos al
torneo.
»Más allá del torneo. El grupo donde jugó el Weston
FC resultó el más duro, de hecho el Campeón del Torneo
- Atalanta- estaba en el grupo A. Weston FC jugó tres
partidos, de los cuales perdió uno, empató uno y ganó
el último en un dramático juego. Las reglas del torneo
solo permitían que el primero del grupo avanzara. Luego
del tercer partido, Weston FC volvió a Verona, allí visitaron la ciudad y disfrutaron del partido de la serie A,
Chievo Verona contra el Milán. Fue una experiencia ver
a grandes jugadores en una de las ligas más importantes del mundo. Antes de ese partido, Weston FC pudo
ver el entrenamiento del Chievo Verona, hablar con los
jugadores y recibir consejos de ellos. En su último día en
Italia, Weston FC se enfrentó contra el Bresian, equipo
de la serie B, en un juego amistoso que terminó en un
empate 3-3.
Fue un juego muy agradable en el que los jugadores se
sintieron muy libres, mucho más confiados y disfrutando
de jugar al futbol. En todo el proceso no hubo ningún
jugador lesionado debido a la buena preparación. Weston
FC representó con altura al fútbol de la Florida y de USA,
en un Torneo exigente y de alta competición.
»EXPERIENCIA
A LA ITALIANA
«this is a great opportunity for players. We are
fortunate as a club to have these opportunities
to compete in prestigious international
tournaments like this one. We have earned it as a
program over the years with the dedication and
success of the players; efforts and sacrifices of
the parents; commitment of staff to improve as a
program daily; and the support of

Second Match
Incidences: Atalanta is a professional
team series A. Weston FC had warmed
up, and was moving very well on the
court despite the superiority of the
rival. Atalanta’s goal was scored in the
second half, missing only 10 minutes
to finish, which speaks of good tactics
and physical layout of the Club of
Florida.
Sbrizzo Comment:
“We had chances to tie but it
didn’t happen. During this match,
it was clear that the boys’ soccer
was growing, at the same time of
their athletic and psychological
condition.”

Third Match
Incidences: On the last game came
out all the preparation and work;
beyond the 4-3 win there were major
positive changes in the team. Players
had more freedom to play, best moves
and their mentality on the court was at
a higher level. During the trip to Italy
the team grew and it showed in the last
game. The 4 points of Weston FC were
not enough to stay in the tournament
because only the first team of each
group qualifies

returned with congratulations from

Behind the
scenes
Interview with Dr. Daniel Serravite
here are soccer aspects that are hardly
known, especially
life off the pitch.
Weston FC’s trip to Italy helps
to understand other moments: long journey, locker
room, concentration, hotels
...according to Dr. Daniel Serravite, who traveled with the
team.
Were the players influenced by changes in
feeding?
Because our players are educated to incorporate nutrition
as part of a training routine
and competition, it was easy
to keep a feeding routine according to the demands of the
tournament. From the hotel
chef willing to adapt meals so
that there is not a great cultural impact on the players
to the hotel manager collaborating with unconventional
schedules for meals, all of that
made a successful experience.
It is important to highlight
that Italian eating habits, like
having three-course meals
were incorporated and were
always available to guarantee
the incorporation of each of
the necessary nutrients for
competition.
How did you watch the
players compared to the
Italian players?
Our players proved to have a
great ability to play at a high
intensity, this made them to
be extremely competitive
in every action of the game,
even though structurally,
Italian teams were larger and
more developed on a muscular level.
I think one of the big differenc-
es is the adaptation we create
with our integrated trainings,
where specificity is key in every workout to improve game
actions and isolated physical
components.
What aspect of your
team would you like to
highlight?
One of the keys in modern
soccer is the recovery ability
between events that require
maximum physical efforts.
Our team had great recovery ability between events
since we planned every minute from the end of a game
until the beginning of next
one. To accomplish this, we
maintain a recovery routine
that includes various methods as contrast baths, SMR,
stretching, electro stimulation, compression and active
movements among others.
Another point to highlight is
that having engaged players
in an extremely controlled
environment like the one we
created, has led to avoid any
injury accumulation throughout the course of the tournament. Finally, it should be
mentioned that this is possible only because it’s something we practice on a daily
basis throughout our season.
Everything we implement is
firstly trained and then applied in competition.

ción del juego a pesar de que estructuralmente, los equipos
italianos eran más grandes y desarrollados a nivel muscular.
Creo que una de las grandes diferencias es la adaptación que
creamos con nuestros entrenamientos integrados, donde la
especificidad es clave en cada entrenamiento para mejorar
acciones del juego y no componentes físicos aislados.
»¿Qué aspecto de su equipo desea resaltar?
UUna de las claves en el fútbol moderno es la capacidad
de recuperación entre eventos que requieren máximos esfuerzos físicos. Nuestro equipo tuvo una gran capacidad de
recuperación entre eventos ya que planificamos cada minutos desde el fin de un juego hasta el comienzo del próximo.
Para lograr esto, mantenemos una rutina de recuperación
que incluye diversos métodos como baños de contraste,
SMR, estiramientos, electro estimulación, compresión y
movimientos activos entre otros. Otro punto a destacar es
que al tener jugadores comprometidos en un ambiente extremadamente controlado como el que creamos, ha llevado a
que no se acumule ninguna lesión durante todo el transcurso
del torneo. Finalmente, se debe mencionar que todo esto
es posible solamente porque es algo que practicamos de
manera cotidiana a lo largo de nuestra temporada. Todo lo
que implementamos se entrena primero y luego se aplica en
competencia. na primero y luego se aplica en competencia.

showing his capacity as a defense, now
conveys his knowledge in clubs as Albion SC Plantation and Kendall SC from
south Florida.
It is not easy being elected “Coach of

large geographic areas, East, West and
Central. So, John is one of the top three
in the 2015-2016 season, putting Florida
back in the spotlight.
How long have you been coaching for?
For the past 12 years I am coaching
youth teams in Florida. I Have 10 years
in Plantation and two years in Kendall.
Where did you play previously
in the United States?
I played at Miami FC, also in Miami Fussion, the Cyclons of Jacksonville, the
Boston Bulldogs and Raleigh Capital Express, among others.
Did you play in Europe?
Yes, I played three years with a German
team, Spandau, in Berlin, at the German Regional League. It would be like
third division.
Which players do you especially remember during your time at
the MLS and professional soccer?
Among the ones I remember the most
are the Brazilian Romario, the talented
Pibe Valderrama of Colombia and Zinho, also from Brazil.
How do you see the players
here in Kendall SC?
There’s a lot of talent here. We have
guys from different countries from Latin America that live soccer in a natural,
intuitive way. It’s something they already have within themselves.

Coaching Philosophy
«“To inspire youth
to become passionate
about soccer and to
guide them in reaching
their goals on the soccer
field. Most important,
use soccer as a way
to instill teamwork,
leadership, friendship,
sportsmanship, and
workmanship”.»
What does it take to succeed in
soccer at this age?
Passion. Without passion for the game a
player won’t improve, he will not want
to be on the court. Talent is important
but without passion is difficult to reach
your goal, I insist, even if you have a lot
of talent.
How do you work in Kendall SC
and Albion SC Plantation?
At Kendall SC I train the U-18 team, a
very talented team. In Albion SC Plantation we have 30 teams. A total of 2,400
players. 400 in competition and two
thousand in the recreational league.
We have a partnership with Kendall SC
so that the U-18 boys train in Kendall.
There is good synergy between the two
clubs.
At the end of the interview, before leaving to fulfill his commitment in Plantation, Johnny smiles when we make
two mandatory questions, what is your
favorite player today, and what soccer
club you admire the most. Without hesitation, says: Messi and Barcelona.

»¿En qué equipos jugaste anteriormente?.
Jugué en el Miami FC, también en el Miami Fussion, los

»¿Jugaste en Europa?.
Sí, estuve jugando tres años con un equipo alemán, el

»¿Cuáles jugadores recuerdas especialmente de
tu paso por la MLS y el fútbol profesional?
Entre los que más recuerdo, están el brasileño Romario, el talentoso Pibe Valderrama de Colombia y a Zinho,
también de Brasil.
»¿Cómo ves a los jugadores aquí en Kendall SC?
Aquí hay bastante talento. Tenemos muchachos de diferentes países de América Latina que viven el fútbol de
una forma natural, intuitiva. Ya el fútbol lo traen adentro.
»¿¿Qué se necesita para triunfar en el fútbol a
ésta edad?. Pasión. Sin la pasión por el juego un jugador no va a querer mejorar, no va a querer estar en la
cancha. El talento es importante pero sin pasión es difícil
llegar a la meta, aunque, insisto, se tenga mucho talento.
»¿Cómo trabajas en Kendall SC y Albion SC Plantation?.
En Kendall SC entreno el equipo de U-18, un equipo
muy talentoso. En Albion SC de Plantation tenemos 30
equipos. Un total de 2,400 jugadores. 400 en competición y dos mil en la parte recreativa. Tenemos una
alianza con Kendall SC de forma tal que los chicos
U-18 entrenan en Kendall. Hay muy buena sinergia
entre ambos clubes.
En el cierre de la entrevista, antes de salir a cumplir
su compromiso en Plantation, Johnny sonrié cuando
le hacemos dos preguntas obligadas, cuál es su jugador favorito en la actualidad, y cuál es el club de
fútbol que más admira. Sin dudarlo, afirma: Messi y
Barcelona.
HEALTH
4.30. 2016 | Year 1 | #2 | Miami, FL
edicine and science move
forward and every day
there are more studies
for parents, coaches and
players so they can have a more complete view of a fundamental issue:
hydration for a soccer player before, during and after one or several
matches.
IMPORTANT
According to Michael Morris, MD,
Medical Director of the Department
of Sports Medicine of Seattle Sounders FC, hydration is essential for recovery between games and maintaining optimum performance.
Weight loss during a game is due to
fluid loss, and that’s why it is important to weigh yourself before and at
halftime of a game. “The loss of body
weight, in warm weather, not only
decreases performance but it can
also endanger the life of the player,”
says Dr. Morris. Here’s a clear example: during a game in warm weather,
such as Florida’s, a player can lose
between 3-4 pounds of body fluids!
WATER OR SPORTS DRINK?
Before a game, water is best. During
or after a game, to help replace electrolytes, a sports drink should be
used.
HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU DRINK?
It is important to know your weight,
because it’s easier to know how much
water you need. For every pound
of weight loss, drink 22 ounces of a
sport drink or water. This is especially important when you play more
than one game in a day. Another idea
to evaluate hydration is to check your
urine: dark urine means dehydration. Light color urine indicates good
hydration. A suggestion made by Dr.
Morris on the amount of liquid is that
within a few hours before playing, it’s
good to drink between 16 to 20 ounces of water. “During a game, drink 20
ounces of a sports drink at halftime.”
concludes Dr. Morris.
TASTY OPTION
For the specialist in Sports Medicine,
Dr. Morris, chocolate milk is a very
good recovery drink. Even in its packaged version. Other options include
nutrition bars or a combination of
sports drinks and bagels with peanut
butter. Be sure to check the nutrition
labels to see how many grams of carbohydrates and protein are available.
It is important that as an athlete you
have control over your body weight,
food and always have in mind that
liquids, water, isotonic drinks and
chocolate milk drinks are critical to
your performance on the court and
off it.

la hidratación es fundamental para la recuperación entre los
partidos y para mantener el rendimiento óptimo. El desgaste

CHOCOLATE MILK
A glass of chocolate
milk contains 30 grams
of carbohydrates and
eight grams of protein;
so two glasses of chocolate milk would cover
the appropriate amount
of replenishment that a
player needs.
y es por eso que es importante pesarse antes y en el medio
tiempo de un partido. “La pérdida de peso corporal, en clima caliente, no solo disminuye el rendimiento también puede
poner en riesgo la vida del jugador”, asevera el doctor Morris.
Aquí tienes un ejemplo claro: durante un juego en un clima
cálido, como el de la Florida, un jugador puede perder ¡entre 3
y 4 libras de líquidos corporales!.
»¿Agua o bebida deportiva?. Antes de un partido, el agua
es lo mejor. Durante o después de un partido, para ayudarte a
reemplazar los electrolitos beber una bebida deportiva.
»¿Qué cantidad debes beber?. Es importante conocer tu
peso, porque así es más fácil conocer la cantidad de agua que

necesitas. Por cada libra de pérdida de peso, se debe beber 22
onzas de una bebida deportiva o agua. Es importante tomarlo
en cuenta sobre todo cuando se juega más de un partido diario. Otra idea para evaluar la hidratación es ver la orina:
orina amarilla significa deshidratación.
Orina de color claro es buena hidratación. Una sugerencia que
hace el doctor Morris sobre la cantidad de líquido es que horas
antes de jugar, es bueno beber entre 16 y 20 onzas de agua.
“Durante un juego, es bueno beber 20 onzas de una bebida
deportiva en el medio tiempo”, concluye el doctor Morris.

En el fútbol moderno los números no significan exactamente una posición, pero se considera que el número
“9” corresponde al jugador goleador por excelencia,
centrodelantero, que mantiene su posición siempre de
cara al arco rival y que constantemente busca el gol.
SoccerPlus habló con Juan José Oré, en Lima. Oré
es el técnico de la selección peruana sub 17, y aquí
explica los fundamentos que todo chico o chica debe
seguir para convertirse en un “9” ideal.
»Precisión y determinación.“Un “9” debe ser un
goleador, de mucha precisión, mucho movimiento,
con manejo de perfiles y que choque con los defensas
rivales. Se debe inculcar estos fundamentos desde
pequeños”, explica Oré. Si bien es cierto que el fútbol competitivo exige tener un buen biotipo, para el
entrenador peruano no es lo más importante. “Que
un atacante sea grande o alto es importante, pero no
es determinante. Un jugador habilidoso, técnico, que
sabe cómo jugar en esa posición y hace goles dará

que hablar. Un “9” debe conocer su espacio y no jugar
de espaldas al arco”, apuntó.
»Ambas piernas. Por otro lado, Oré enfatizó en la necesidad de patear con ambas piernas. “Manejar ambos perfiles es fundamental. Ser un jugador completo
va a interesar a muchos equipos. No se está haciendo
ese trabajo en menores. Pegarle con ambas piernas
es lo que requiere un centrodelantero actualmente”,
apuntó.
»Dinámica y disciplina. Para “Jota jota” también es
importante jugar sin balón. “La movilidad es necesaria. El atacante marca el pase. Eso se trabaja”. “En el
fútbol de menores es muy importante enseñar estas
cosas porque es la edad ideal para aprender. A partir
de los 11 años ya el chico debe conocer esto para que
pueda llegar a la sub 15 con un cierto tipo de conocimiento”, dijo.
Por último, recomendó mantener la disciplina y trabajar con constancia para convertirse en grandes futbolistas. “Recomiendo trabajar mucho, quedarse practicando centros, definición, mejorando lo técnico porque
es importante. Hay que disfrutar el juego, llevarte a uno
a dos, gambetear. También deben ver mucho fútbol,
partidos de la Champions, analizar lo que hace el goleador. Los chicos ahora tienen un referente y pueden
trabajar en torno a eso”, finalizó.

MESSI
Barcelona
ames like Suarez, Cristiano,
Messi, Ibrahimovic, Falcao,
Benzema, Torres or
Lewadoski, have something in common: they
are center-forwards and
prolific scorers. In modern soccer, numbers do
not exactly mean one
position, but the number “9” is considered to
correspond to the top
scorer, center-forward,
who keeps his position
always facing the rival goal and constantly
looking to score a goal.
SoccerPlus talked to
Juan Jose Ore, in Lima.
Ore is the coach of the
U-17 Peruvian team, and
he explains the basics
that every boy or girl
must follow to become
an ideal “9”.
Precision and
determination
“A “9” must be a scorer, very accurate, a lot

These basics
should be instilled from
a small age, “said Ore.
While it’s true that competitive soccer requires
having a good biotype,
for the Peruvian coach
GONZALO
is not the most importHIGUAÍN
ant. “A large or tall atNapoli
tacker is significant, but
not decisive. A skilled
player, technical, who
knows how to play in
that position and score
goals, will give everybody something to talk
about. A “9” should
know his space and not
play with his back to-

wards the goal,” he indicated.
Both feet
On the other hand, Ore
emphasized the need to
kick with both feet. “Being two-footed is basic.
A complete player will
interest many teams.
Nobody is doing that job
with children. To kick
with both feet is what’s
currently required from
a center-forward”, he
said.
Dynamic and
discipline
For “Jota Jota” is also
important to play without the ball. “Mobility
is necessary. The attacker looks for passes.
That’s something you
work on”. “It is very important to teach these
things in youth soccer
leagues because it’s the
ideal age to learn. From
the age of 11 years, a kid
must know this, so that
he can get to U-15 with
a certain kind of knowledge, “he said.
Finally, he recommended maintaining discipline and work consistently to become great
players. “I recommend
working hard; keep
practicing
crosses,
shooting,
improving
technical training because it’s important.
You have to enjoy the
game, fool one or two
and dribble. You should
also watch a lot of soccer, Champions League
matches, analyze what
the scorer does. Kids
now have a baseline and
can work around that,
“he concluded.
