Played soccer in high school, never attended university, but have trained and played with amateur and professional players here in the U.S., UK and France.
I train my clients with developmentally appropriate exercises. An eight year old can not be trained like an eighteen year old.In turn, not all children of the same age are equal in their development, so I assess a player's developmental level and work to bring them to their next level of proficiency. I like to make it fun for the players while training them.Every session would be planned as such:
#1) Warm-up. #2) Demonstrate the exercise the player/players will be working on this session .#3) Have the player perform the exercise with no pressure at about 1/2 speed. #4)Have the player/players perform the exercise with slight pressure, same speed. #5)Have the player/players perform the exercise with pressure at 3/4 speed. #6) Full speed, full pressure. #7) Scrimmage if possible #8) Cool down.

Coach Dave was a really good coach. He's extremely nice and very encouraging! He's given me a lot of confidence in myself, even after just one session. I look forward to more training sessions with him and recommend him to others as well :)

Coach Dave is an absolute pleasure as a training coach. I believe his best quality is first and foremost making your child feel comfortable and giving them full confidence in their abilities and engaging them in motivation. He has wonderful experience on leading training for on field players and goalkeeping players. The videos that my wife shared really showed how well prepared and organized Coach Dave is with his training sessions. Highly recommend Coach Dave and can’t thank him for being such a great individual to the kids and sharing his passion for the sport of Soccer.

I’d highly recommend Coach Dave. My soon to be 14 y/o son was a little apprehensive about one on one training, but he really enjoyed his session with Dave.

My name is Jakub I'm ten years old. I really like Coach Dave. He always does warm ups with me and we play a lot. He taught me the Fellaini shot it's low and fast. This shot helped me in games a lot. Because of coach Dave my season Is already better. Last year I scored two goals and this year so far I have fifteen! I feel I became better at soccer with Coach Dave's help.Coach Dave is a great coach!!! I would recommend him to everyone that wants to be a good soccer player and to all my friends.

Fabrice (CoachUp client)
My son plays U13 in Barcelona ! He is a talented player who loves football as we call it in Europe. We were here for holidays and he wanted to get some specific training. We looked for a soccer coach on google and we found Dave via CoachUP. We had a 1H30 mn session with Coach Dave in Paramus, NJ. Everything was very well organized when we arrived. He is very friendly and very passionate about the game. We started the training with some routine warmup then had a very specific free kick training. My son was asking for more training with Dave but unfortunately we have to go back to Europe. I can only recommend anyone to train with Dave. New Jersey and New York are lucky to have him. We will be back next year Coach, see you soon.
Andrew (CoachUp client)
Shows up on time and ready to work. He has been very responsive to my daughters individual needs and is flexible. Dave's philosophy of building on the last practice session is effective. He is also not afraid to stay on a skill until its mastered.
Andrea (CoachUp client)
