Great Coach. Knowledgeable, patient. Our son has learned a TON from Curtis.

Our first session was great and we look forward to many more with Coach Garner!

Very understanding, let’s my son know his week and strong points. He works on the week points to help elevate my son

I ran across my coachup and talked to my son about it. He was skeptical so I only bought one session. After the session walking back to the car my son said " OK mom say it. You can say I told you so" then he asked when can we do the next session. Coach Curtis was great. He explained and didn't critize. He was patient and made the work fun. My son is almost 17 and looking forward to his next session

Coach Curtis was a great coach. He was very observant and picked up right away on the issues my grandson was having. My grandson liked his approach to the training.

My son really enjoyed working with Coach Curtis and is looking forward to training with him again. He is very knowledgeable and I felt like has a lot to offer my son.

My son really enjoys training with Coach Curtis. He likes the way Curtis explains the drills and motivates him to keep working. Me as a parent I am enjoying the dedication Coach Curtis puts into his work and professionalism

He is a great nice coach.

Parent: Coach Curtis took the time to listen to what my son and I both wanted out of these sessions! After the first practice and my son being skeptical, my son could not stop talking about all the great things he just learned and that Coach Curtis let him express his knowledge of the game... on his first day!!!

Great experience my son likes Curtis and wants to see him again

Definitely recommend for any athlete to work on their performance and game!

First impressions are lasting impressions and Coach Curtis G. truly left an impression on our hearts. From the initial contact, his willingness to be upfront and transparent. He welcomed a long message of my intent and expectation as a parent and our son's expectations from his 1 on 1 session and desires as an athlete for a coach. Coach Curtis was punctual, prepared, and present. He effectively communicated, provided my son and us (his parents) his intent, plan of action, and executed above expectation. He provided all required equipment. One of the great things about the world of sport is that coaching is different and is unique to the coach delivering the session. Coach Curtis G. absolutely did not provide a "cookie cut" session. He observed and met my son where he was athleticly challenged him physically, yet also intellectually, while providing encouragement and positive feedback without coddling. Coach Curtis G. radiates love for his craft, which is infectous during the 1hr long session. He is truly do as I do, physically demonstrates. My son was challenged, exhausted, however motivated for more. Ending with proper stretching, reflection on the session, and communication on what to expect during the next session while informing what to work on. We/ he looks forward to the next sessions and is glad to have found Coach Curtis G. to add to our son's athletic journey.

Thank you again for your professionalism, passion, and overall great session.

Coach Curtiss is great with the players - does a great job assessing where they are at wrt their conditioning and skills capability and adjusting the lessons. My son is having a blast and learning a lot.

Coach Curtis is an excellent coach. He’s patient and attentive. My son said, “he’s a good coach” and that coming from a teenager who is almost always quiet about everything, means a great deal to me. Thank, scheduling the next session with him immediately.

Coach Curtis is awesome. He has pinpointed areas our son can improve upon and did so in a positive, fun and constructive way. He is very easy to work with and quickly established a rapport with our son.

Coach Curtis has been extremely effective in creating a workout that best addresses the areas that need the most improvement. Has had also been excellent with combine prep work. We drive an hour from Snoqualmie to see him, and his workouts are always well worth the trip. Highly recommend.

My son has really enjoyed his sessions. Coach knows his stuff and knows the right drills to improve. He was able to pinpoint what my son really needed to work on but also knew when a skill was there and didn’t waste time repeating those exercises excessively.
He’s fun and encouraging and gives clear instructions. Getting the one-on-one has been amazing for my kid. My son looks forward to each session. Thanks Coach!

Coach Curtis Is one of the best football youth coaches. My son enjoyed his training style. He’s patient, training style meets need of student creative players in terms of imagination, originality, productivity and problem solving skills in this sport. Creating a system full of energy and confidence to take to next level.

I would recommend Coach Curtis time and time again. Very pleased with the one on one my son is receiving and drills he’s able to practice at home. My son looks forward to his practice and we will continue to schedule practices with Coach Curtis.

David really enjoyed his coaching session. Coach Curtis is extremely knowledgeable and amazing to work with! We are so grateful that David has the opportunity to learn from him. Looking forward to the next session. Thank you, Coach!

Worked really well with my boys. One of my sons is considered "special needs" and he worked so well with him. Curtis explained and demonstrated each skill and encouraged the boys whether they did well or not. I will DEFINITELY be setting up another session and refer others to him.
