What we do
Offering various programs for aspiring soccer players, JD Coaching is here to bring your player to the next level. Focusing on all aspects of the game, from shooting to defending to strength to mentality, we will work to raise you above the level of your competitors.
Each player and team will receive different training, unique to the needs of the individual. Every player will come into sessions feeling like their development is the priority, and leave the sessions feeling strong and secure in their abilities, with things to do at home to ensure they are constantly improving.
Who am i
My name is Jocelyn Downing, I am a senior in high school, and I have been playing soccer for 14 years. Soccer is my greatest passion in life, and I plan to play in college and at a professional level.
I started coaching in 2021 because I wanted to spread my knowledge and love for the game to the next generation of players. I believe that every player, no matter who they are or how good they are, deserve to experience a coach who truly cares about them, which is my ultimate goal in coaching. I strive to provide a fun, safe environment for young athletes to advance their skills and achieve their goals.
When I started playing competitive soccer, my coaches didn’t believe in me or my abilities. I felt like a failure, but I refused to let that define me. I worked day in and day out to prove myself, getting to the point where I would be outside, by myself, for up to 7 hours a day. The hard work started to pay off when I made the KHS Varsity Girls Soccer Team as a freshman, and even more so when I started every game.
As I go into my last year of youth soccer, I will be representing New Hampshire and the 13 other states in the Eastern Region in Orlando this winter as an ODP Regional Player. I was one of 18 players selected out of 800 players in my age group.
I refuse to let my past define me, and I intend to teach every player that I coach the same lesson.
