About Coach Cristian:

Hi, I'm Cristian Gonzalez, a dedicated soccer coach born and raised in San Diego County. With over 20 years of playing experience and 10 years of coaching, soccer has been at the heart of my life.

I started my journey in youth soccer at age 10, playing for San Marcos High School for four years before competing at the collegiate level for Northern Arizona University. While I loved playing, my true passion has always been helping the next generation succeed on the field.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching at the high school level, working with players at San Marcos High School, Escondido High School, and currently as the JV coach at Sage Creek High School in Carlsbad, CA. I have been coaching club teams from U7-U19 in based out in North county for 3+ years. My mission is to help young athletes develop their skills, grow their confidence, and reach their full potential—both in soccer and in life.

I hold a U.S. Soccer D Coaching License, along with an AA in Kinesiology, and I’m on track to earn my BA in Kinesiology in Spring 2026.

Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to helping you grow as a player!
