Leones
Player Development Academy
Our Story and Why
In his early years, collegiate and professional athlete, Leone Cruz, fell in love with the game. Almost all of his time was spent with the ball, kicking it against walls and stairs, creating skill moves, running with it, or shooting it at targets that included single bricks on a wall or steps on a staircase. Most of the time he spent honing his craft on his own but he also spent a lot of time at the fields with his dad. They would go to local fields where they would practice the game together. Through trial and error, curiosity, and fascination, the game took him on life's adventure.
​
He now aims to share his passion for the game with anyone who cares to talk about it, watch it, train it, and share ideas about it.
Our player development programs are a part of Leone's mission to provide local athletes with the same type of training and adventure that he's been able to experience from his love of the game. We intend to create more awareness of the relationship on how the individual contributes to the success of the team and vice versa. The curriculum uses a holistic approach and is custom to each individual's needs by combining custom training sessions, mental coaching, nutritional coaching, recovery coaching, and more.
​
Enjoy the adventure.
