Coach David did a wonderful job during my son's first session. He spent some very focused time evaluating him, and working on specific drills that were appropriate, all while having fun. We will definitely schedule more sessions!

Coach David had been great so far. He is giving my son good feedback with specific goals to work on. He is attentive and focused on improving my son's form. All done in a positive manner. We look forward to continuing our sessions with him.

Coach David is a great coach. He is not only the skilled coach, but also very friendly and good at working with young boy. My 9 years old boy likes him and enjoyed his training. Coach David organized the session very well, and my son never been bored. Thank you, Coach David.

After her first session my daughter is all charged up to work with coach David again. Not only was he able to assess her work level quickly and accurately, he has the skills to demonstrate everything. Also he was funny and engaging and very easy to talk to which made her comfortable and able to focus quickly. Definitely recommending David to the other girls in my daughter's club!

I've seen David grow as a coach over the years. His demeanor with young athletes is excellent as is his knowledge of the game. David has a talent for identifying skills that players need to improve upon, and uses his background in Human Development to set age appropriate expectations. David has coached several teams to league and tournament victories in the greater bay area. He is willing to demonstrate skills, make training fun, and offers positive feedback to all players when they are deserving. I've trained with David in Scotland and England with international coaches and saw first hand, the connection he was able to make with players he had never worked with prior. David Stanek is an asset to the soccer community and probably possesses some of the freshest technical knowledge coming out of Scotland and England right now.
