Great first day!
Dan (CoachUp client)
Coach Harvey is amazing! Great balance of coaching with accountability but fun! Excellent coach. My son can’t wait for more sessions.
Adam (CoachUp client)
Coach James was very helpful. He immediately identified opportunities to improve throwing mechanics and footwork. He was punctual and engaged for the entire session. My son's feedback was positive on the session and he stated he could immediately tell he was getting better. Thanks coach, looking forward to continue working with you. I highly recommend!!
Whitney (CoachUp client)
Great first session, really has a gift for teaching
John (CoachUp client)
Excellent first session with Coach James! Coach did a great job of communicating in advance and throughout our session (with me and my son) to understand goals/objectives and to tailor a high energy/fast-moving session to directly address those needs. His energy is outstanding and has a well-planned approach to training (building on drills, moving between throwing, footwork, mental toughness, etc.). I have experience in football and have coached my 12-yr son his entire life, but I don't have the expertise/experience at the QB position or anything approaching Coach's football IQ. Coach James picked up things in minutes that I never noticed (or had not effectively addressed) and his observations and actions helped my son to make tangible improvements in one session. I'm looking forward to seeing how additional sessions will build on a great first session! His knowledge and love for the game comes through and I highly recommend Coach James.
Lee (CoachUp client)
Great first session with the coach. Definitely has a superior grasp for teaching the QB position and has the desire to teach. We look forward to a continuing relationship.
Randy (CoachUp client)
Coach James is well versed in all aspects of QB play. He would be a great choice to teach and mentor any aspiring young quarterback.
Reonda (CoachUp client)
Coach James has already made an impression on Travis.He inspired my son to push harder on the field after 1 session. As parent I can tell Coach James will go farther than just X's and O's for my son.
David (CoachUp client)
My son has trained at various other programs. The drills were good, but my son continued some old habits. This is not "Quarterback by the Numbers" or a cookie cutter program, this is highly personalized training. Coach Harvey noticed the discrepancies on our first visit. We have done approximately 10 sessions, and my son is well on his way to forgetting those bad habits. Each session Coach Harvey has added in some new aspect of training different than the sessions before. I am very pleased. My youngest son will be starting soon.
Dave Moran (Testimonial)
THIS I WHERE YOU SEND ANYONE WHO WANTS TO IMPROVE THEIR SKILL SET!!!!!!! 👍👌Your son's growth is my passion. For me it's not about winning games, but making sure your son's skill set is improved so he will be more competitive. -Phelan plays Qb and will be in the 11th grade next year. THESE ARE THE WORDS FROM PHELAN'S FATHER MR. DAVID MORAN........ Phelan has been with Coach Harvey for over a year. He was a natural thrower but he needed knowledge and the "why" he needed the fundamentals like footwork and body position. So many coaches do not explain the "why". Coach Harvey gave him this missing piece. Today, his throwing is greatly improved so Coach Harvey is focusing on improving his athleticism. I am watching him change weekly. He succeeds where just a few weeks ago he struggled. It's impressive to watch. It's worth every penny!
Landen Lockamy "Qb" South Johnston High School (Testimonial)
I would say the first session with Coach Harvey was a success! I can tell I'm definitely going to be better. Other training camps just like to see you compete. Coach Harvey's training sessions are going to correct my mechanics and actually get me ready for game situations.
