Hi,
My name is James Quijano; I am 27 and the current coach for Diablo FC boys U-15
D-1. I have been coaching for eight years and hold my CYSA E/D license as well as my
NSCAA National Diploma.
My father was born in Valencia, Spain. He played soccer for Valencia Club de
Futbol, a highly competitive soccer club playing in La Liga, the top professional league
in Spain. My father was afforded the best coaching possible which he has passed on to
me.
I have played competitive soccer in California for numerous clubs, most notably,
Ballistic United in Pleasanton California and Diablo Valley Soccer Club (now Diablo
Futbol Club) in Concord California. I spent five years with the club, playing as a striker
and periodically as a winger. I have had excellent professional coaching, working on
fitness and skills and utilizing that to become a successful player. Due to my fathers
influence, I attempted to play professional, going on trial with Seattle Sounders F.C. and
Portland Timbers as well as playing in the MLS reserve division in 2008-2009. I
currently play in various leagues in Northern California
My coaching philosophy comes from a variety of places. I have taken numerous
courses in coaching and I have learned a lot from my own coaches, as well as mentors. I
feel that hard work, and a team spirit count, as well as playing simple. What that entails
for me is passing on the ground, to space and feet. For the players to have a good first
touch, and to be physically fit and feel confident with and without the ball. I feel that this
will work, with the team moving together towards goal with confidence, versus having
the “superstar” be the go to player. I am a vocal coach, and I believe in practicing what I
preach. I follow the US Club Soccer and the US Soccer Federations current formation of
the 4-3-3. My goal is to take players out of their comfort zone, so that they will be trying
new things that normally they would not do
