NYRB U12 [2017-18]

Training Session with Jesse Marsch

A few months before he headed to RB Leipzig as the assistant coach… Honored to be coached by him. Great person, great coach!!

While getting great advise, which I have been keeping since then, on how to forecheck as a striker from the NYRB 1st Team Coach Jesse Marsch

NYRB Academy U12 – NYRB Training Facility

Bora Turker #88 Goal (vs. Real Madrid)

La Liga Promises – NYRB MLS DA U12 vs. Real Madrid Academy U12 [Jun 9th, 2018]

The goal I scored that eliminated Real Madrid from the Tournament. We dominated the last third of the game but could not capitalize on those chances.
NYRB U12: 1 – Real Madrid U12: 1

Putting Real Madrid’s Defense on Test

La Liga Promises [Jun 9th, 2018] – Frank Sinatra Park, NYC, NY

Just one of many fouls… Physical and technical defense line but they got disoriented after the goal I scored minutes after this moment. We dominated the rest of the game by far.

Bora Turker #88 Goal (vs. JEF United U12)

La Liga Promises – NYRB MLS DA U12 vs. JEF United U12 (JAP) [Jun 8th, 2018]

Scored the opener as a result of forechecking. JEF United is a very good team with many talented players.
NYRB U12: 1 – JEF United: 1

Speed & Agility Test with U14 NYRB DA Team

After the NJ State ODP 06 vs. NYRB DA U12 game, I was offered to play on the U12 DA Team. A few days later, I was given a full facility tour. The coaching staff asked me to train with the U14’s on the same day and took a speed and agility test with them as well. [Jun 2017]

Got really good results that were comparable to U14’s. Some confidence boost for sure.
Enjoyed the every bit of the challenge. I sure like competing with older and physical players.
My first training session at Red Bulls and it happened to be with the U14’s. Great fit for my competitive nature 🙂
