More About Coach Michael

I have over 30 years of experience coaching teams and individuals in the North Texas/Plano area. I have coached at many levels including: Professional with the Dallas Sidekicks, the US Developmental Academy, and both boys and girls competitive youth of all ages. I coached formerly with Andromeda SC for many years and currently coach teams with Solar SC. I hold a USSF "B" License as well as a US Youth National License. A couple highlights of my coaching career include winning the U-17 USYS Boys National Championship and being awarded the 2014 USYS Region III Girls Competitive Coach of the Year.

I was fortunate enough to have a 21-year professional playing career, most notably with the Dallas Sidekicks, during which time we won four Championships. I was a 6-time All-Star selection, 2-time Championship Game MVP, and inducted to The St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame in 2013.

I believe each athlete requires an individual assessment of their basic technical skills as a starting point from which we can design a specific session plan to improve technical and tactical ability. Players should typically expect to work on shooting, crossing, passing, dribbling, and control combined with age-appropriate speed and agility.

Client Reviews

My brother (age 54) and I (age 57) took a soccer lesson from Coach Michael.

We started with conditioning drills and moved to kicking drills. Coach would explain the activity, demonstrate it and explain "why" (what skills we were developing and how they apply to soccer). In general, when learning new skills, the "why" is often overlooked. It is the "why", though, that is critical to being able to internalize the knowledge and apply it.

Coach Michael was a professional soccer player for over 20 years, so he obviously has the skills and knowledge to play at the highest level. In addition to the skills and knowledge, Coach is encouraging and supportive.

Whether you are completely new to the sport like I am, have some experience like my brother or are an experienced player and want to fine-tune your skills and/or expand your knowledge, I highly recommend Coach Michael.

After just one sessions with coach powers it’s very clear he’s a capable coach and adjusts his drills based on your weaknesses. Very encouraging during the process as well, would definitely recommend him and also planning on booking more sessions in the future

Coach Michael was great and very informative. He quickly put together a plan to help my daughter’s shooting confidence.

Friendly, prepared, and great with my 8 year old son. Plan to continue working with Coach Powers for the rest of the summer. Son is exited for the next session.

I can't say enough nice things about Coach Michael! His experience and background would be a perfect match for anyone looking to grow in their soccer skills and technique. His positive motivation works wonders for my daughter who needs the mix of feedback and to know what she is doing well. Probably one of the kindest and hard working coaches I have run across, with great communication skills.

Coach Michael, has a a lot of great experience. My 2014 son definitely enjoyed the practice. He had very good drills and was prepared. We will definitely schedule more sessions with him.

Michael did a great job! He was very prepared and obviously knew what he was doing. Our son really enjoyed his sessions!

Upon our arrival, Michael was already set up and ready to get the first lesson started. He would give positive feedback to my 6 year old son throughout the session to keep him focused on what he was doing right.
Michael would have different target set ups for shooting and passing the ball, challenging my son to a game of getting a high score. The session moved at a good pace that kept my son engaged and allowed him to have fun.

Coach Michael has done a fantastic job training my 9 year old daughter over the last couple of months. He is very kind, patient, and knowledgeable so she warmed up to him quickly. She was really struggling with a plateau in her skills but he helped her break through that and reach the next level. The Coach on her PSA Team noticed her progress and commented on the changes in her confidence and her abilities just a few weeks into training. I would recommend Coach Michael to anyone seeking to advance to the next level in their skills!

Great trainer. Lots of experience. Positive feedback.

Michael did an excellent job with my son. He was setup well in advance of the lesson starting so we didn't lose any time. Good positive communication with my son, which kept him motivated and kept his attitude positive. Would highly recommend.

My 16 yr old daughter was in need of some individual coaching to prep for the upcoming high school season. Coach Michael did a great job setting up drills, and working with her on her shooting and passing technique. We plan on doing several sessions with him over the next few weeks.

Fantastic training!! My son is a seasoned player and has been trained by top professionals around the world. Coach Michael is at that same level. Thank you coach!

Coach Michael Powers was terrific, prompt, organized and responsive, an excellent teacher with terrific skills building abilities for Soccer players.

Michael has been an outstanding soccer coach for my 7-year-old son. With a focus on shooting skills, Michael's well-organized sessions have significantly improved my son's ability to strike the ball accurately. His attention to detail and hands-on approach have been crucial in refining my son's shooting technique. Michael's coaching style is not only effective but also fosters a sense of discipline and precision on the field. I appreciate how he tailors the sessions to ensure each child gets personalized attention. His dedication to skill development shines through, and my son's confidence in shooting has noticeably grown under Michael's guidance. Overall, Michael is a top-notch coach who combines organization and expertise to enhance the soccer skills of young players.

Coach Michael worked with my ten year old son tonight. He spent an entire hour working with him in skills that he doesn’t normally get to practice at his club soccer trainings each week. My son is eager to continue working with Coach Michael. Highly recommend him.

I recently had my 11-year-old son train with Coach Michael Powers. The session was well-organized with a variety of goal posts, numerous soccer balls, and strategically placed poles for skill drills. What stood out was not just the professional setup, but the Coach's wonderful nature, and his genuine interest in my son’s skills development. By the end, my son said, "I learnt so many new skills today!" With his friendly approach and evident expertise, we're already looking forward to more sessions with Coach Michael.

Warm regards,

Liladhar B.

He is a great coach. Tons of experience and great at teaching and practicing skills.

The session was amazing! He was super nice and helped me understand the drills before doing so. I definitely recommend him as a coach.

We wanted to find a coach outside of his team setting that would bring additional value to his eager to learn mindset, and Coach Micheal delivers on this front. Coach went straight into working on skills keeping our 6 year-old son focused on the task at hand. Our son expressed how thankful he was to get to have a private session and work on shooting and passing! We look fwd to him getting some more sessions in with coach!

Coach Michael is who you need if you want to level-up your player's confidence, technical/tactical game, and long-term playing potential! He is very adept in his ability of assessing a player and is able to create a training program that is tailored to their individual needs. One thing that stands out is the vast array of drills that coach is able to pull from to build skills in different ways and the instruction that goes along with it. This has given my 9-year old daughter a better understanding of when or how to use certain skills in game situations. Also, as a former professional soccer player and hall of fame champion I found Coach Michael to be humble, personable, and easy to talk to, didn't appear to have an ego which made a positive lasting impression. Coach has definitely elevated my daughter's skillset in a few short sessions, so glad we added his training into her learning and growth plan!

Coach Michael is great! He breaks down complex techniques into simple and understandable steps and build my daughter’s fundamental skills. He makes the training engaging and fun. I definitely recommend Coach Michael!

Coach Michael came well prepared and worked with my 6 year old son and gave him lot of tips that I felt could make an immediate impact. Will be scheduling further training sessions with him.

I highly recommend Coach Mike! He is kind, patient, and focused on game applicable drills and shooting techniques. His encouragement to my 11 year old daughter is top-notch, and he’s a great communicator with parents which helps with scheduling. My daughter's soccer game has improved significantly thanks to his effective coaching. She looks forward to skills with Coach Mike!

Coach Michael was excellent with my 6 year old. He kept the athlete engaged and focused throughout the session. He coached high intensity through drills while also slowing the athlete down to coach and train proper technique. Put together drills that required the athlete to problem solve on the go. 5 outta 5! Great training equipment and great drill transitions to maximize most out of the time.

Great first Session with Michael! My six year old really enjoyed the workout - plenty of touches!!

Coach Powers was amazing-he immediately knew how to connect with my son to get him running through drills he hasn’t experienced before. I was very impressed and cannot wait to book our next session.

Coach Michael conducted a great session with lots of one on one training for 2 players. He set up multiple goals for each child to get lots of touches on the ball and opportunities to receive the ball and shoot on goal. They both enjoyed the workout and look forward to tomorrow's session! Great skills training with Coach Michael!
Day 2 training was even better than Day 1! Both players enjoyed the conditioning, dribbling, passing, touch and shooting drills. They can't wait for the next session!
Day 3 training was another great session. Both players had lots of touches and personal instructions from Coach Michael. They both showed improvement on their touches, passing and shooting with the feedback they received during the sessions. Lots of good skills for them to continue to work on. Thanks to Coach Michael for the great training!

Coach Michael is incredibly knowledgeable about the game of soccer and truly loves coaching!!!!!! He used to be my club soccer coach and now I’ve still decided to work with him while playing college soccer and I know I made the right decision, he’s awesome !

Recommend without hesitation…. well prepared, positive energy, lots of touches, useful skills. Both my kids 7 and 9 enjoy going. 5 stars

11yo son is gaining skill and confidence

My son had a great first session! Coach Michael did a great job of identifying areas of weakness for my son to work on immediately and they got straight to work. My son is already asking when his next session will be.

Coach Michael knew what Nirvan needs after first session. We will book more sessions with Coach Michael. After first session coach was able to identify the weak and strong points. Looking forward for more sessions with Coach Mike and confident coach will sure help Nirvan over come his weak points and improve his game.

Coach Michael, is absolutely amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable with the sport of soccer. My family thanks him.

Besides getting to train with a personal idol, MISL champion, and Dallas Sidekicks LEGEND, my session with Coach Michael Powers was productive and illuminating. As a 52-year-old trying to make a comeback to soccer after a three-year hiatus, I was nervous about how much a 1-hour session would accomplish and how much I would be able to complete. Coach Powers was prepared with multiple pop-up goals, cones, poles, and a custom session focusing on tightening up trapping, passing, and shooting skills, while also providing just the right amount of conditioning. I am recommending Coach Powers to my 16-year old daughter who plays varsity and ECNL, as well as all my over 50 team members. Can't wait until my next session!

Our 9 year old son had a great first lesson from Coach Michael. We just booked another session.

We were really impressed with Coach Michael's approach to coaching, drills and set-up. I could see a marked improvement in my son's skills as they worked through the coaching session. We're looking forward to more coaching sessions with Coach Michael!

Excellent coach that focuses on skills, agility training, and shooting drills. Our 2013G loves working with Coach Powers.

The first lesson for my 7 yr old daughter went great. Coach Michael was there early and had an impressive amount of gear set up for the training session. He greeted us politely and immediately starting building a rapport. My daughter was focused and working hard the entire hour on ball handling, shooting and field awareness drills. A couple of water breaks in she shouted over to me, "This is GREAT." Setting up our second session now.

(no details provided)

Great experience. My son learned more in the first hour than his practices and games combined. Coach is patient and so knowledgable. My 9yo loved it and we look forward to continuing. Definently helping him catch up to his peers fast.

Coach Michael is an amazing instructor who is extremely knowledgable, patient and most of all fun! We have seen improvements in ball skills, kick velocity, confidence and most importantly our daughter's love for the game. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Coach Michael to anyone seeking private instruction.

He provides real time feedback to the player and you see immediate positive change in their behavior. He teaches the necessary skills needed in a game managing the ball coming at you in motion and how to adjust to strike mid-air.

I can, without hesitation, recommend Coach Michael. My 11 year old daughter came late to soccer. She missed out on learning the technical side of the game, but yet has a real love for the game. Coach Michael has been working with her to develop basic kicking and passing skills. He is incredibly patient and easy-going with her. When she gets frustrated with herself, he is encouraging. I know it will take some time to get her up to the level at which she would like to play, but I can already see changes in her that would not have been possible without his help. We are so grateful we found coach Michael. He really is great at what he does.

Great coach. Helps you with want you need the most and if you failed the first time he get a better option to get you to succeed in what he wants you to practice on. Hopefully when I make it he be my private coach.

Othan truly enjoyed his first session. We look forward to many more sessions with coach Powers!

Coach Michael took the time for the initial evaluation to see where my grandson needed to start. He kept the session fun but with a lot of reps and work. I feel it was a GREAT first session with many more to come.

Coach Michael was an excellent choice for my son. He worked him HARD for the entire session and after he said he had so much fun he wants to come back! I would highly recommend to anyone in the area to check him out.

Coach Mike is amazing! Our son, Ryker, looks forward to every Monday when he has skills with Coach Mike. We have seen a huge improvement with Ryker on the field and during game time, and thankful for all of Coach Mikes time, guidance, and patience with Ryker!

Coach Powers is an excellent coach. He is patient with the girls who are easily distracted at their age. His coaching techniques help them stay focused and develop their skills. They really love their weekly training session. Highly recommended!

Coach Michael did a great job with my 9 year old son for an initial skills session. He is punctual, very personable and clearly very knowledgeable. He had various drills set-up, and my son greatly enjoyed the session!

Coach Michael was amazing! My daughter enjoyed the training even though they worked hard the entire time. The feedback and coaching was individualized and just want a player needs to improve.

My 9 yr old son just had his first session with Coach Michael. Without question, Coach Michael is the absolute best coach my son has ever had in any sport. I can not stress that enough. He quickly assessed my sons skill level & immediately started drills catered to his skill level. Quickly adjusted his motions when needed all while being positive & making it fun. Some of his techniques I plan on using when I coach my son's flag football team. Coach Michael is an awesome coach! He had me wanting to jump in so he could coach me too! First thing my son said afterward was "can we come back, I had a blast!"

This was our first session with Coach Powers and our 8 year old daughter. It was so encouraging to see the improvement in her skills during the session and the big smile on her face. He was so good with her and helping her to assess when she didn’t do the skill properly. We are looking forward to continuing sessions with him.

He is the real deal, with a fantastic coaching demeanor

Coach Michael was very friendly and patient with my daughter.

Mike was excellent with my son. He was patient, helped improve skills, and kept the training fast paced and upbeat. My son can't wait for his next session with Coach Mike. I highly recommend him.

Coach Power’s sessions have not only helped to improve my son’s shooting skills, but they also keep his love of the game alive. His high energy, intense sessions are both fun and technical. We are so thankful to have found him!

Coach Michael was a very great coach.His training and techniques are like none I've had before Definitely top-notch. Well prepared to coach, explain in detail what an athlete need and very welcoming and ready to answer all questions,After only ane single session my son was different,gained alot of confident and able to apply the skills.I would recommend Coach Michael to anyone.He's the best!

We appreciate Coach Powers for his positive attitude and tailored approach to each player. He provides in-session feedback that has helped each girl improve in the moment as well as across the weeks. He mixes up drills and keeps the players engaged and interested. Both offensive and defensive skill has improved in just a few sessions. We look forward to continued training with Coach Mike Powers!

Coach Powers is amazing! His instructions allow the girls to correct their skills and become a more confident player. He has a calming way of helping them when they get discouraged! I highly recommend him for lessons!

We really enjoyed him as a person and as a coach. He was very VERY knowledgeable in teaching the correct skills in soccer for our daughter, somthing we have been needing for our her because she knew just to kick the ball in the goal but there is more to soccer then that. My daughter only knew the very low basics but not the skills and he took the time to explain that to her.
My daughter was very comfortable with him and was ready to learn, as he explained the drills to her and us.
Michale was very interested in our concerns for our daughter and tackled them during practice, he listened to the wants my daughter wanted. He was extremely patient and kind!
We hope he is our daughters full time coach in the future because we were highly impressed with him as a person and as a coach. Highly recommend him, we are confident you wont regret it!

Coach Powers did a great job training our two boys. He tailored their session to focus on what to do after you win the ball, as well as positioning (Movement with the backline), and how to prevent getting played through on. Both boys had a great time while learning to be more efficient as an outside back! Coach Powers showed them things they can use in their play!

Coach Powers, Did a great job with Gabriel. He came in with a very broad understanding of playing in an attack position. Coach Powers helped him to really understand the benefits of body positioning and limiting needed touches before contact with the ball. Gabriel was able to learn quickly through Coach. Gabriel used this to help power his shots as well as dial in his accuracy. This training session helped him to gain the confidence needed to really show signs of young promise. Gabriel went from slow rolling the ball into the back of the net. To a point where he was curling the ball side netting from a tight angle. As well as placing his shots top corner. All from Coach Powers trainings!

Highly recommend Coach Mike Powers, if you want your athlete to truly begin to blossom into the player you want them to be!

Coach Michael was super organized with the flow of the training and kept my 8 ur old son focused and engaged throughout the training session. He had pointers and fun activities to challenge and motivate him to improve his receiving, passing and shooting skills! I highly recommend coach Michael and look forward to other training sessions for my son!

Coach Powers was great with giving out daughter the extra shooting practice she was needing. He makes it fun, gives precise instruction and is encouraging! We will definitely be back for more lessons!

Mike is a very good coach, he’s great with my 9 year old twins.

Coach Michael was very personable, technically very strong, and made our 11-year old’s session fun. Our son continues training with Coach Michael to improve in his techniques.

Coach Powers was very encouraging and positive! My 13 year old was excited for his sessions and got a lot from them. We are from out of state and hate that we are missing out on ongoing training sessions with Coach Powers.

Wonderful first time session.

I talked with Michael about some of the concerns I had with my sons soccer skills before our first session, when we met he was prepared and ready to go. My son is usually pretty shy but he jumped right in. Michael was patient and you could tell very experienced, I loved watching all the different drills he went through with my son. I booked our follow up session when we got home!

Layla loved the practice and can’t wait to come back. Thank you so much

This was our first experience with a private coach. Coach Powers was awesome. He was very positive and reassuring to my boys. We have a lot of work to do still but after this first session my only regret was not finding Coach Powers sooner.

Coach Michael was awesome. He provided specific guidance on skills and was encouraging. The session was well run and helpful.

Coach Michael is an excellent youth coach. I read a lot about him and his work in the field is awesome. Right level of intensity, discipline and skill for youth. Highly recommend and certainly we enjoyed this training experience.

Coach Michael was very accommodating with scheduling after weather was not on our side. He customizes his approach to the player. We look forward to booking some additional sessions with Coach Michael.

My daughter loved the skills session with Coach Michael! She learned so much after 1 session and had a lot of fun, too!

(no details provided)

We’ve completed our first training with Coach Michael for our son. We found him very supportive and was well prepared for our session. His sessions includes a wide variety training. Would definitely recommend Coach Michael.

Coach Michael is a great coach to work with. He was very organized with his coaching and drills. He communicated very clearly on what my son needs to focus on to get better. He was very pleasant and friendly and gave us constructive feedback on areas to improve. We look forward to more sessions with Coach Mike.

My son is thoroughly enjoying the soccer development training sessions with coach Mike. He makes it fun, interactive, and fast paced. His unique drills will continue to develop my son’s fitness, technical skills, core strength, power, and quickness—just to name some of the benefits! He interacts appropriately with his players and gives them confidence to continue to build their skills. Thanks!

Great coach, and very easy to work with.

Amazing coach! My son has improve his accuracy and power while playing soccer. Highly recommended!

(no details provided)

Coach Michael exceeded our hopes. He immediately made my son feel at ease and was able to comfortably communicate training points. After one session my son was/is seeing improvements with the skills they addressed. We are looking forward to continuing to work with coach Michael.

Coach Michael is a fantastic coach. He has a professional set up, connected well with my daughter and made the training fun. In one session, Coach Michael helped my daughter with her shooting power and accuracy, and had her lifting the ball for the first time since she started playing soccer three years ago. We are looking forward to seeing further improvement over future sessions.

After trying out various coaches, clubs and teams for skills training, we were able to get some time with Mike Powers and immediately noticed the difference with his training compared to others. The first impression was great! The setup of the training and the drills are things they need to understand as it would be a great translation to the actual game. We’ve been to two sessions and hope we can continue this as long as possible. We are very happy to find a quality trainer for my academy girls. Thanks Mike!

Mike has done a great job helping my daughter improve her skills. He designs sessions with practical drills that translate to quick and significant improvements on the field. My daughter really enjoys going to his sessions because he also keeps them fun. I'd highly recommend Mike for soccer skills development.

Coach Michael is very talented and patient with younger athletes. We saw noticeable improvement after 4 weeks!

My daughter always look forward to her weekly training with Coach Michael! Coach Michael made it fun yet challenging for her. I'm happy to see her improvement and develop her love for soccer!

Coach Michael was great. He was very knowledgeable and made the training fun yet challenging for our daughter. He was patient and kind. We will definitely be booking with him again.

Coach Powers is incredible. His knowledge of the game paired with his unique ability to connect and communicate to players of all ages is unmatched. His communication style is highly positive, and the kids listen and respect him. His skills sessions are filled with tips and tricks during the drills, giving instructions on not just how, but why. He focuses on not just doing the drill, but also correcting and explaining to the players how to do it better. The practice sessions are highly organized, he is always prepared and has a plan - no time is wasted. Coach Power's is a legend in the soccer world and is respected in the highest regards. We are lucky to be coached by him.

Coach Michael does a great job connecting with the younger players through fun and engaging activities. He takes the time to explain to the kids the benefits of the drills. Which was apparent after the first two sessions, when my son not only wanted to recreate the drills at home but relayed to me Coach Michael's comments related to situational awareness, body positioning, and quick decision making. Demonstrating that the communication style is working with the kids.

Coach Mike is a legend in this area! His knowledge of the game and his ability to connect and mentor young players is remarkable. He has an extraordinary ability to motivate his players while working hard and having fun at the same time. His sessions are player focused with ample repetition and variety that helps them improve their skills and keeps them engaged. He covers many different aspects including coordination, balance, proper body stance, receiving, trapping, passing, shooting, and crossing techniques. Sessions include fun games that allows the players to master their skills while learning and having fun. Highly recommend!

Coach Mike is great and patient. My daughter came away extremely encouraged about him helping to improve her game and can't wait to continue. We've never had private training before and he's making it very easy on all of us. Will continue for sure- highly recommend!!

We’ve just started with Coach Mike and my daughter loves going to his skills practice. He’s got a great way with young players (my daughter is eleven and plays select), promotes a positive environment while expecting hard work out of his students. He’s also very attentive to any questions or concerns a parent may have on their kid’s progress and abilities. I am also impressed that Coach Mike has an extensive background in the game of soccer and feel that his experience is of great benefit in the improvement of skills as well as understanding the game. I would def. recommend Coach Mike.

My 10yo son has been training with Coach Michael P and absolutely loves him! The sessions are always challenging and work on a variety of skills - all with an element of fun mixed in. The notes he provides after each have given us something to work on in between sessions. Looking forward to our next one already.

Coach Mike is the best! The drills are typically a bit different from usual team practices which my kids really enjoy. He pays attention to work both feet in every thing, and really breaks things down when need be, such as how to strike the ball to achieve a specific type of kick and how to face your hips and body when moving without the ball. He’s also an amazing example of how to be fiercely competitive as well as a respectful player and person throughout life.

Great Coach! Works hard with the kids to improve all types of ability. Without a doubt perfect for all levels of skill.

Coach Michael was great Coach. His training & techniques are awesome. He is definitely top notch. I would definitely recommend him.

Coach Michael is an excellent coach and person. From day one, we could see his experience in the skills he taught our daughter. Our daughter looked forward to his skills. Not only did we see improvement, but also increased passion for the game. You get the best with coach Michael!

My daughter has had a couple of sessions with Coach Powers, and she loves it. She always leaves happy feeling like she had fun, but at the same time she learned something. I would definitely recommend Coach Powers.

We did a session with Coach Michael and were very impressed! I loved how he worked on specific skills he hadn’t worked on before. Our 11 year old son loved him and loved the session. He was quick paced and packed a lot into one session. Well worth it! We will continue to do weekly sessions with him.

My 03 son has worked with Michael one time so far, and swears he is the best. I asked my son what Michael's best coaching strategies was, and he still says "everything". We will be scheduling more practices with him soon.

Coach Michael has been working with my daughter (U16 Development Academy player) over the summer break and this has helped her progress across a host of fundamentals. Through shared training sessions and 1:1s the variety of drills and pace created the right mix to challenge my daughter. I strongly recommend Coach Michael!

Coach Michael is a great coach. My daughter really enjoys her sessions with Michael and we are looking forward to applying the techniques she is learning during these sessions.

Coach Michael was recommended to us by our daughter's current coach. We were told that he’s great with kids and is known for his great soccer techniques. We’re truly so grateful that our daughter has this great opportunity to work with Coach Michael. She’s learning a lot and enjoys the sessions so much. I would recommend Coach Michael to anyone.

Awesome coach! He is very empowering and creative in his practices to make it fun for my daughter! I look forward to working with him and watch her develop.

We've only had a couple sessions, but my daughter has already shown improvement in her foot skills and set piece kicks. Coach Powers does a great job of maximizing the return for your time investment with varied drills that target specific areas you'd like to work on. I'd definitely recommend Coach Powers to anyone looking to improve their game.

Coach Powers had our small group of girls working on a variety of drills. He is a great teacher. He was very organized and prepared. Best of all, the kids had fun while they did it. We love his knowledge and approach.

I definitely recommend Coach Michael! Scheduling was easy and Coach Michael was very prepared and organized for the session. He was great with my son as they worked on many skills with creative drills that made the session productive and fun. He also provided feedback during and after the lesson. My son is looking forward to the next session!

Coach Powers has been nothing but fantastic! Emma has enjoyed every minute of his training. He is fabulous with getting 8 yr olds to focus and train hard but still making it super fun!!!

Thank you for all you’ve done!!!

Great trainer, provides feedback to player and parent. My daughter always looks forward to going back to Coach Michael!

(no details provided)

Coach Mike is awesome! I love watching the skills practices. He is very creative, keeps the girls interested, and continually moving. Plus after 4 training sessions i have seen my daughter confidence increase and it is awesome to see her using the skills during the game. My daughter loves him as well, she says “he doesn’t yell” which makes me chuckle... thank you Coach Mike!

Always patient and works with my daughter on specific skills. She loves going to her sessions

Michael has done a great job with our 8 year old. Always on time and super prepared for the session. Michael provides us with feedback on every session and things we can do at home to help her with her game. All smiles from our daughter after sessions- looking forward to many more. Highly recommend!!

My daughter had her first session with Coach Michael and loved every minute of it! He obviously knows soccer inside and out, but what I loved most was how he was able to get my daughter (who is relatively young) to focus and take the training seriously while still having an absolute blast. She can't wait to go back next week. Thank you Coach!

Coach Powers has been a great coach for my daughter for years. His knowledge and passion to teach is hard to match.

My daughter LJ trained with Coach Mike this past weekend and had nothing but great things to say about the session. They worked on a combination of passing, left footed skills, ( which she needs) and shooting. I could tell she had fun, but more than that she was comfortable and challenged at the same time. We have known coach Mike for a good while now, and I think he is not only a great coach, but an awesome person. His soccer resume speaks for itself, your working with one of the best. He not only is teaching her skills, but also instilling the confidence to take it to the field. My daughter is an 00, but I believe his personality and coaching style lends itself to many ages. I highly recommend Coach Mike, but more than that, so does my daughter.... and that’s what really counts!

Lexi learned a lot from the shooting session with coach Powers this weekend. Going to try to learn a little more with him

I really liked Coach Michael. His own skills at soccer are enough to make me want to listen carefully and follow what he says. He was very patient on our first session and explained all of the drills very well. I highly recommend Coach Michael to any player who wants to improve their ball handling skills and hope some of my teammates sign up with him too.

You care so much about the success of my girls that you came to watch them play! I can’t express how impressed I am with your dedication. Thank you!

Can't say enough great things about Coach Michael. He undoubtedly is an awesome coach who knows his stuff, but more importantly, he knows how to work with kids and knows how to earn their respect. My daughter is 11 and he held her interest for an hour and a half. He made repetitions fun and exciting and she can't wait for her next lesson with him. We look forward to seeing how he will use his experience with the game to transform her in to a great player. Coach Michael is wonderful!!

Coach Powers is amazing! He creates challenging and fun activities that focus on improving my son's individual skills and his tactical understanding of the game. My son stays engaged and works hard for him because he loves it! He also provides specific and meaningful feedback after each session for me and my son so that we can understand what he's trying to accomplish. We highly recommend Coach Powers!

We have been very fortunate to work with Coach Mike the past few years for both soccer camps and soccer skills. He is such a patient and kind coach. I appreciate that he communicates clearly for both player and parents. And the feedback he gives is outstanding so that the kids can continue to practice at home. Coach Mike is a wonderful coach!

Coach Michael is a great coach. His experience is easily visible with his organization, planning, clear communication and evaluation of our daughters skills and areas to improve. Coach Michael was set up and ready to begin as scheduled. Looking forward to additional sessions and the improvements to come.

Coach Michael is a great coach. Really great drills to get my son thinking differently about the skills they worked on. But especially love his demeanor and coaching style.

I would highly recommend Mike Powers for any of your training needs. As my youth coach, he was instrumental in my development. He laid a solid foundation that lead to a college scholarship followed by a professional player role (my ultimate goal) with the Dallas Sidekicks, where we were united as teammates. Whether you are just beginning or a seasoned player, Mike Powers’ professional playing experience and success as a youth coach is second to none.
