Meet Your Coach
CoachElisa De La Torre
Elisa grew up in a competitive soccer environment in Mexico, where the game shaped her discipline, confidence, and technical foundation from a young age.
After continuing her soccer journey in the United States, she built her coaching path around helping players understand the game, improve their skills, and feel more confident every time they step on the field.
Through NineLab, Elisa combines her international playing background, current match experience, and youth coaching perspective to create sessions that are technical, positive, and game-focused.
Coaching Philosophy
My Coaching Philosophy
Every player develops differently. NineLab sessions build technique first, then speed and pressure, because confidence comes from repetition, patience, and clear feedback.
Players should be challenged, supported, and still enjoy the game. Long-term development matters more than quick results.
Future
The Vision Behind NineLab
The vision is to create an environment where every player, regardless of age or ability, can improve, feel supported, and develop a lifelong passion for soccer.
