Hello, I am Coach Gionatan Surrenti, the Kicks Soccer Academy Owner and Director. I was born and bred in Italy, and I played competitive soccer until the age of 16 in Rome and Italy. I have an an extensive background in both the performing arts, notably in "CONTACT IMPROVISATION", a contemporary movement form that I have taught and performed in Europe and the USA for over 10 years from 1997 to 2009 and in HR consulting, notably outplacement and career coaching. I have been actively coaching recreational and competitive soccer in Louisville since 2011, and currently coaching for the Lou City/Racing Junior Academy. I hold a US Youth Soccer D coaching license. My purpose with KSA is to inspire, train, and prepare children and families for recreational and competitive soccer and instill a life-lasting love for the game of soccer.
