Client Reviews

Coach Alex is an incredibly knowledgeable and motivating soccer coach. He builds great rapport and leads with confidence and positivity. More importantly, he is a kind and caring coach who teaches important life skills that are valuable both on and off the field. We feel very fortunate that our son had such an amazing first experience in soccer with him.

Great first session! My son learned some great techniques and forms. He was very positive and super knowledgeable! He definitely knows the sport. Looking forward to booking another another session! Would highly recommend!

coach Alex is awesome! He was so helpful with my daughter .In just 3 lessons.

Coach Alex has been great for my son. He pushes him physically and nurtures him mentally. Goalkeeping is more than just being able to stop the ball so I really appreciate the time he takes to work on all aspects of the position. He uses various methods and equipment during the session. My son has loved the two sessions he has had with Coach Alex and can’t wait for more. Great Coach all around!

Excelente coach

Coach Alex is an excellent coach! He takes the time to explain and makes sure my son understands what he needs to do. Very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Coach Alex exceeded expectations by far! He started with a comprehensive assessment then taught specific skills to improve my son’s game in just the first lesson. He gave very clear instructions, and even used video to show my son where he could improve. His enthusiasm and encouragement is rejuvenating. Thrilled to have found such a gem!

Coach Alex is an excellent coach. My niece took 3 session with him, he taught lots of important things to improve how she plays. He was always on time and had everything set up for the session. He is very professional and very patient. He was always saying encouraging words and helpful tips to help her to improve.

Had our first session with Coach Alex. Was at the field ahead of time and setup everything. Did a quick evaluation to understand the areas of improvement for my daughter. Coach used videos to explain the mistakes and how to improve which was very beneficial for my daughter to see and learn. I recommend Coach Alex.

he's very good. Know's what he's doing

Coach Alex is fantastic. We booked a 3 package session for my son and even in that short time could see improvement. My son said he is a good teacher and the drills really helped him improve his footwork. I think his assessment was spot on and then the focus on the areas that needed work made a difference. The sessions were in preparation for an evaluation and not only did they help with skills, but also with confidence. Coach Alex is very positive in his approach and clearly has a wealth of experience and expertise to share. I would highly recommend him, and I expect we'll be back!

Alex is a great coach. You can tell immediately that he is experienced as well as having a lot of patience. He will train you and explain why and what the meaning is of every move is - which is important!

With only 3 sessions done, I feel like I have learned so much already. Looking forward to the rest of the week!

Coach Alex have been a huge part of my success as a student and as an athlete. I know him since 1997 when I started to dream on playing soccer in the US. I was born and raised in Brazil and got a chance to learn so much about the game with him. He did not just teach me about soccer and how to play soccer he taught me about morals, values, loyalty, compromise, discipline and the most important; to never stop dreaming. He has done over the past years more charity work for the Brazilian women's game than any other coach alive, and the best is he never got paid for helping so many young athletes like my self. I could spend a long time writing about him as an great indivíduo and what he has done for people, but it would not fit in here. He has so much knowledge about so many areas in life that it is inspiring, in anything he decides to put his hands on he will give his absolutely best effort and will get the job done. I proudly recommend my all time mentor and coach Alexandre Mathias tô engage in anything that has to do with teaching and/or managing people
