Sports Performance Training

Ridgecrest soccer players

With the 5-A-Side Legacy Tournament coming up soon we’d like to give these away. Men’s size 8 1/2. We’ve tried several ways of reaching out to find someone that could put them to use, but no luck. Please share and help us! ( accidentally ordered two pairs and lost the chance of return.)

This is a little, "about me post." I know some student athletes and parents may have some hesitation with reaching out to a stranger to train their kids and do 1 on 1 sessions. So I wanted to give you all an insight into who I am.

My name is Andrey Winchell. I started playing soccer at 6 years old. In 8th grade I joined Premier Las Vegas soccer club for the 1993 travel team. From then until I graduated I played with this team traveling to different states and tournaments. I went to High School in Las Vegas and played varsity all 4 years.

During my middle school and high school career I trained with coach Mike Waters trainer, founder, and owner of phase 1 sports. He helped me elevate my game with respect to speed, agility, quickness, and power.

Upon graduation of high school, I committed to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University for my degree but decided I still needed soccer in my life so I tried out for the team as a walk on and made the team. In college I played primarily outside back. I had the privilege to be coached by some amazing, very knowledgeable coaches and players. We made conference playoffs all 4 years, and we won back to back conference titles. This ranked us among the top 25 in the nation.

After graduating with an Aeronautical Engineering Degree as a student athlete, I pursued my passion in aeronautics and jets where I now work as a Flight Test Engineer for the Navy.

This brought me to a small town in California called Ridgecrest where I have established roots with a family and 2 little girls. Through the years I've coached as assistant coach for COSO community College girls soccer team. I also assisted the COSO woman's volleyball team as a strength and conditioning coach. Lastly, I've assisted the boys varsity team at burros HS.

While coaching I've realized Ridgecrest is behind and under developed as a sports community. Traveling to play other teams/tournaments has created a burden for many parents and organizations. This is why I started Sports Performance Training. To not only help student athletes better thier performance on the field, but also help them become strong, hard working individuals.
