Afom S.

Alvin (CoachUp client)

I just signed my son up for soccer lessons with a Afom who focuses on teaching the basics of the game, especially how to control the ball and dribble. My son has only had one lesson so far, but I'm happy to share my first thoughts about the coach and the good time we had.

Right away, it was clear that Afom knew a lot about soccer and really loved teaching. He was happy to see my son and made the room feel friendly and safe, which put my son at ease right away. This approach helped both the coach and the student get to know each other and connect with each other.

Throughout the lesson, it was clear how much Afom wanted to work on ball control and dribbling. He taught my son some basic techniques, patiently explaining and showing each one to him. What impressed me the most was how well the coach was able to break these skills down into steps that my son could understand and practice.

During the whole session, Afom found the perfect balance between helping my son and letting him figure things out on his own. He gave clear instructions and showed how to do the techniques, and then he encouraged my son to do them on his own. This approach gave my son a sense of ownership over his progress and helped him feel more confident in himself.

Also, Afom used fun, interactive drills to help the players remember what they were learning. The exercises were well thought out so that they would stretch my son's skills while still being easy enough for a beginner to do. It was clear that the coach had planned the lesson carefully, taking into account my son's skill level and giving him chances to get better and grow.

In addition to teaching the technical parts of soccer, Afom also stressed the importance of having the right mind and attitude. He told my son to stay focused, stay positive, and enjoy the process of learning. This whole-person approach was refreshing because it taught soccer skills and important life lessons at the same time.

Even though we haven't been working with Afom for very long, I'm hopeful that we can grow and improve with his help. The first lesson showed that he was knowledgeable, patient, and able to make a good learning environment. I think that if my son keeps taking lessons, he will get better at controlling the ball and dribbling, which will give him a good start on his soccer journey.

Based on what I've seen so far, I would recommend Afom to anyone looking for a pro who focuses on the basics of soccer, especially how to control the ball and dribble. His commitment, way of teaching, and ability to connect with young players make him a good choice for anyone who wants to get better at soccer. We're looking forward to going on with our lessons and seeing how far we've come.

We have booked more than 1 lesson and my son is enjoying the one on one coaching to further his soccer development.

Coach Afom's first lesson with our 11-year-old son could not have gone better! Afom was patient, friendly, energetic, and passionate about the sport. Our son genuinely enjoyed his time on the field and is excited about his next session!

Kamakshi (CoachUp client)

Afom is a SUPER coach! He uses age appropriate and fun techniques to teach young kids. He is professional but also relaxed in his approach, making it an easy-going environment for a child who is starting to learn the sport. He is responsive and reliable. I would highly recommend Afom.

Maya (CoachUp client)

My son really had a great first practice with Coach Afom! He talked about how he enjoyed the activities of the practice, how they worked on things he hadnt thought of needing to work on before. I watched and noticed there was structure in each activity and really good (genuine) positive feedback from the Coach, and my son really needs that, because he doesnt get that from his team or current coach. We will definitely be booking more sessions with this coach!

My two girls had their first session today and they were so happy. They couldn't stop talking about how fun the session was and how much they had learn. Coach Afom really takes his time to ensure his students are learning techniques, attitudes and skills needed in the game. He was very engaging and didn't waste any time; he started right away with different drills and started giving confidence to my kids. We are very lucky to have found this Coach, my kids are excited for the next classes.

Coach Afom is a professional in every aspect. He is extremely responsive and accommodating with scheduling/location. His coaching sessions are well thought-out and tailored to my boys' specific soccer needs. My boys enjoy their sessions with Coach Afom and we can already see improvement. We were so pleased to have found Coach Afom.

Brandy (CoachUp client)

My son has only had 2 sessions so far but he has improved A LOT!!! This trainer is the real deal he works on things that are specific to my son's position on the field (striker) and quickly identifies areas that need improvement so that he can focus on them. He does not waste time, every minute is productive. My son is shy and a bit timid but he has a way of talking to and correcting him that makes my son really take to him. We are so fortunate to have found this trainer!!

Coach Afom is currently working with my 9 year old daughter, and he is a FANTASTIC coach! He challenges her, but does it in a way that really encourages her to get better. He works really well with children, and I’d definitely recommend him!

Garfield (CoachUp client)

"I loved it" were the words uttered by my son when I asked him how was his first session with Coach Afom. Coach Afom was prompt and already had different stations set up for his training when we arrived. They immediately went to work. As mentioned before my son loved every minute of it. We look forward to working with Coach Afom in the future.

Bing (CoachUp client)

Coach Afom is a very friendly person. He is passionate about what he is doing and knowledgeable in soccer training. He has a lot of ideas to design different drills which mimic real-game scenarios. I really enjoyed his training and gained both knowledge and skills through his training.

Robin (CoachUp client)

Coach Afom was able to give my son the best workout that he has had in a long time. He was able to identify my son's strengths and weaknesses through awesome drills that tested his abilities. My son had a recent blow to his soccer playing confidence, and Coach Afom's reassuring voice gave him back the confidence that he was missing. This was the greatest gift of all!

Andy C. (Client) (Testimonial)

Coach was top notch. He trained my boys (ages 12 and 14) in sub-freezing weather over holidays and the pace, sequence and approach was great. Coach was really open to our input on priorities and tailored session to really focus on them with effective drills and the right amount of feedback as they played. Note that both players play at top level and the session was appropriately challenging, sophisticated, and rigorous. Everything had a purpose – and coach combined that with great enthusiasm. THANKS!

Jennifer Graser (Travel Team Manager) (Testimonial)

Coach Afom was one of the best coaches we have encountered both in execution and demeanor. He truly cares about his players and the boys really looked up to him. We saw Jack and the team progress so much over the course of the year.
