Wladimir Gassant

Soccer Coach and former NCAA Division I student-athlete with playing and coaching experience in the U.S. and Spain. I work with youth players through private training, academy coaching, and camps, focusing on technical development, confidence, and understanding of the game. Alongside soccer, I've worked in marketing and customer service, which helped me build strong communication skills and learn how to work with different people in professional environments.

I bring a mix of high-level playing experience, coaching knowledge, and real-world people skills. I'm currently continuing my development as a coach and working toward an advanced coaching license.
