Fostering Intelligent and Creative Players
Coach Arturo is on a mission to transform the culture of player development on the West Coast — starting with the youngest and most formative age groups. Through Elite IQ Football, he’s building more than just technically and tactically sharp players; he’s creating a movement rooted in intentional development, high standards, and empowering Zone One girls to believe in their potential. With a deep commitment to the community, Arturo is changing the way girls are coached and mentored — developing not just better footballers, but more confident leaders. Every session is designed to sharpen decision-making, elevate football IQ, and foster a culture where excellence is earned, and growth is expected.
With an attacking-minded focus, Arturo elevates football intelligence, strengthens technique, and empowers creativity to develop the brightest of players. During his youth, Arturo played club soccer for the Nomads Developmental Academy which eventually led him to play for the San Diego State Men's Club and Division I NCAA team. Arturo began his international experience with AC Milan (Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy) in 2007, FSV Erlangen-Bruck (Erlangen, Germany) in 2012, and lastly, Club Deportivo Montcada (Barcelona, Spain) in 2013.
Arturo holds a Bachelor's Degree in Public Administration from San Diego State University and a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Barry University.
