Olo Sembera
COACH
I moved to the United States from Peru at the age of eight, where I had the privilege of being developed at a highly respected academy in Lima. After relocating with my family, I played for several teams, including Annandale United FC, before continuing my soccer career at Randolph-Macon College. There, I earned degrees in Accounting and Spanish, while competing on the Men’s Varsity team from 2017 to 2021.
After college, my passion for soccer took me overseas, where I spent a season playing in Spain’s 5th division with Racing Murcia FC. It was during this time that I not only developed as a player but also gained invaluable coaching experience by shadowing practices at top-level professional youth academies. This experience deepened my understanding of the game and ignited my desire to share this knowledge with others.
As the Capstone Soccer Assistant Site Director, my mission is to provide the mentorship and guidance I lacked growing up in this country. I am deeply committed to shaping the next generation of soccer players, not only by refining their technical skills but also by fostering the mindset necessary to thrive both on and off the field. By focusing on each player's individual growth and development, I believe we can transform the soccer culture in the DMV area and create a strong foundation for long-term success.
