Client Reviews

Eric is the first coach I trained with here on CoachUp. Out of all the choices, I'm glad I chose Eric. I'm new to running and Eric broke the basics down in a way anybody can understand. I'm looking forward to working with him and improving my running. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a running coach.

Tonight my son had his 1st session with Coach Eric.
We were running late, due to a long running parent teacher conference, and I let him know we were on our way.
Once we got there, the session began and my son was all ears.
He listened to everything Coach Eric told him and when the session ended, was ready to set up the next session.
He saw how he had areas that needed work and Coach Eric was encouraging and quick to point out his strengths as well.
I actually saw improvement on technical skills by the end of this first class!
He gave him 'homework' (skills to work on )which was awesome!
We are very pleased with the 1st session and my son is eager to set up the next!

Eric is my first CoachUp coach and I couldn't be happier. Eric broke down my running form and started giving me workouts during our first session. He really knows what he's talking about. For example, after seeing me run for a few yards he knew that I played soccer as a kid and that I'm right foot dominant. He's got that coaches eye!

Every session since he has built on that foundation and continues to improve my run.

He is a true professional; I recommend Eric to anyone who is serious about becoming a better runner!

My 10 year old daughter had her first session with Coach Eric today and he is not only great with kids but extremely knowledgeable about soccer. He taught her quite a bit in one session and kept asking her questions and making her demonstrate that she understood the purpose of the drill they were doing. He made every drill relevant to her position and how she would play it in a game setting. I will definitely book more sessions and can see real value.

Eric is working with our 12 year old son to help him improve his running technique and speed. His goal is to run a marathon sub four hours. Our first session went very well! Our son learned several techniques to improve his form and increase speed. In addition he learned practice exercises to help reinforce what he learned. We will be working with Eric to continue to help our son reach his marathon goal.

Very knowledgeable an helpful. Will definitely have more sessions and refer to anyone in need of a running coach.

I am so happy to have found Coach Eric on CoachUp. He has helped my 9-yr. old daughter immensely by preparing her for her school soccer team tryouts. He is extremely knowledgeable about soccer, very punctual, flexible with schedules and his communication skills are top notch as he confirms each session… a true professional. He makes learning fun; my daughter had a great time while being educated and trained by Coach Eric. In addition; he is very patient, which I believe in this industry is key. When I asked my daughter what were 3 things she liked about him, her reply was, “He was nice, he has great skills and it was worth the money.” She is totally looking forward to more lessons with him! I am certain that he truly makes a difference in the lives of athletic individuals and I would highly recommend Coach Eric to anyone who wants to learn or improve upon their soccer skills. High fives and many thanks, Coach!!! : )

Coach Eric was very professional and knowledgable . He listens to his clients needs and what needs to be worked on as far as techniques and skills to build up strength and proper techniques to be successful . I should have contacted him sooner . Highly recommended

Eric was great in showing my daughters form and technique to improve her running.

After two years of running with on-and-off achilles pain, several months of physical therapy for achilles tendinosis and many other treatments, I decided I needed to have a professional examine my form and show me how to make the necessary corrections. Eric was quick to notice several issues with my form and body imbalance. His instructions are both easy to understand and technical so you get a strong knowledge base but don't feel overwhelmed. Even better, my achilles didn't hurt at all after we had finished, which is a first in a long, long time. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with Eric so that I can get back to where I was prior to the achilles injury.

Eric did a great job of starting at the basics and breaking down mechanics one by one, you can tell that he wants to share his knowledge with you in order to help you achieve your own goals.

Eric gave me great tips and exercises that I can incorporate into my daily training that I feel will help me achieve my goals for the future. I will definitely use Eric I'm the near future for more training

Great session motivated and most helpful

Great coach

Thanks for coaching Brendan this summer.......the skill sets you taught him will be invaluable when he starts high school this fall. Eric, you are an exceptional coach......you have the uncanny ability to break a learning process down to very chewable components .....then having established a strong foundation, you 'scaffold' each new level of learning. Your use of constant positive reinforcement strengthens the "I can do this" spirit in a fledging athlete. Thank you for your sincere compassion for others, Brendan really admired you. Sincerely, Joe Mattera
