Together we will asses the strengths and weakness within the 4 pillars which are the Tactical, Technical, Physical, and Phycological components of the game. We then will implement a plan to methodically strengthen this weakness by instilling confidence, motivation, inspiration, and education while at all times keeping the athlete engaged and focused on the short, medium and long-term goals.

Client Reviews
Landon (CoachUp client)
He was amazing
Deborah (CoachUp client)
I would absolutely recommend Coach Costa. He helped my college-aged goalkeeper improve his skills for the fall season. He customized each training session for a comprehensive workout that always challenged my son. We started off with a few sessions, but ended up adding more because the sessions were so valuable.
Dan (CoachUp client)
Great experience , looking forward to more sessions
Anthony (CoachUp client)
My daughter enjoyed her first session with Coach Costa and looks forward to future sessions.
Brian (CoachUp client)
Coach Costa was excellent at understanding and identifying the areas on which my son needed to work. He immediately developed good communications with my son and implemented drills and instructions that paid immediate dividends. My son thought the training was outstanding and looks forward to his next training session.
Leslie (CoachUp client)
I enlisted Costa to work with my u12 son. In just a few sessions I saw a dramatic improvement in my sons game. He also enjoys working with and learning from Costa which makes all the difference. Costa is a very dedicated trainer . He comes to games to check progress. So far I am very pleased with my choice!
Rick Canon (Testimonial)
Costa worked very well with my son and brought him out of his shell. As this was my son's first time with a private trainer, I was a little skeptical. However, my son absolutely loved working with Costa and telling me all about what he learned.
Tony U21 B (Testimonial)
He knows what it takes to win!!
