Coach 

My name is Josue Saravia

I fell in love with soccer at 10 years old and quickly learned what it meant to chase a dream. By 14, I was playing for top academy teams in the region, including D.C. United Academy, where I first experienced the professional side of the game.

My journey then took me to Ferrum College in Virginia, competing at the NCAA Division III level. But I knew I wanted more. So, I packed my bags and went to Brazil, where I played at professional developmental academies in São Paulo for two unforgettable years. That experience not only shaped me as a player, but also as a person—it showed me how soccer connects cultures and builds lifelong lessons.

Today, I coach two youth teams and dedicate my time to building Top Soccer Lab, a place where players don’t just train—they grow. My approach blends the four key pillars of the game:

  • Technical skill to master the ball

  • Tactical understanding to think the game

  • Physical training to build the body for competition

  • Psychological strength to handle pressure and play with confidence

 

Why do I coach? Because I believe soccer teaches lessons for life—teamwork, discipline, resilience—and because I want to inspire the next generation of players to dream big and raise the level of the game in our community.
