Great Trainer

Coach Jennifer is excellent. She really helped my 11 year old daughter progress and further develop as a player. She is very patient, understands the game, and makes training enjoyable yet highly valuable from a player development perspective. Highly recommend.

Coach Jennifer was great! She was patient, encouraging and very organized. She had a great work out plan. My daughter started building new skills immediately!

Jennifer definitely got my daughters strengths & weaknesses straight away and worked well on them and great fitness work outs too thank you Jennifer

My two girls (10yo and 6yo) have enjoyed the sessions with Coach Jennifer, and look forward to going to the next. She does a good job relating to them, yet pushes them for more when needed. She provides appropriate explanations/breakdowns to help the girls understand why they are practicing certain drills.

I would highly recommend Coach Jennifer. My fourteen year old granddaughter had a wonderful experience with her. Granddaughter was so happy with the session and can't wait to go back. Jennifer was very patient and showed granddaughter where she could improve her game. Granddaughter wishes she had been coached by Jennifer from the initial soccer practice years ago.

She was amazing! She worked well with my child and helped her work on skills that needed improving. I’m happy we had her as our coach!

Coach Jennifer did a great job working with my daughter. She was very encouraging and had my daughter understanding the skills better. My daughter is already to have another session with coach Jennifer

Coach Jennifer worked with my 8th grade daughter and nothing but good things to say. Normally shy Coach had her talking, laughing, and working on drills within minutes. Coach Jennifer’s soccer knowledge was beyond impressive and before leaving the parking lot. Daughter was asking how soon another session could be scheduled. I would highly recommend Coach Jennifer to anyone. For sure an A+ coach.

I have had a great experience with the CoachUp website and the coach we found in Jennifer. I highly recommend taking part in this service. Jennifer is highly skilled and a great motivator. We purchased 6 individual training session and it was well worth the expense. These sessions prepared my daughter for her freshman year at a D-1 school.

BACKGROUND:
My daughter is playing Division 1 soccer and is an incoming freshman. We live in Colorado but she was going to spend a few weeks in Charlotte, NC with family. She had a training program/packet from the head coach/team but she had only had worked a little of it. She had to take some down time to recover from from some minor, nagging injuries which put her behind in the training. Since she was leaving Colorado her normal training situation was not available. We thought we would try to find a coach in Charlotte for some individual training session and to work through the packet from the school. We found Jennifer through CoachUp. She and my daughter hit it off and Jennifer pushed her pretty hard. What a great decision to work with Coach Jennifer and CoachUp. This was a win-win for everyone.

Best Regards,
Charles

We are so happy to have found Coach Jennifer to work with our daughter during the summer to improve her skills and get in some speed work. Jennifer's extensive expertise and enthusiasm really show. She is just what our daughter needed to get her ready for high school tryouts!

Coach Jennifer is a great coach! She was very patient and supportive with me trying to get back in the game! I would recommend her to everyone!

Coach Jennifer is a very good trainer. I was very impressed with her professionalism. She had my daughter Lindsey warming up and then went right into the training phase. She used the whole hour wisely and I felt that Lindsey was getting exactly what I was paying for. Lindsey absolutely loved Coach Jennifer's techniques and felt that she learned a lot for just an hour of training. I will definitely continue to have Lindsey train with Coach Jennifer, as she is very good at what she does. Thank You Coach.

Coach Jennifer was really thorough. She worked with my daughter from warmups and stretching, to footwork, and shooting skills. Highly recommend!

Jennifer has been a great coach for offseason training. She has a flexible schedule and my daughter has enjoyed both individual and group sessions. Great coach for speed / agility and footwork skills. Would definitely recommend Coach Jennifer to others.

Coach Jen was absolutely great with my daughter. She is excited to continue to work with Jen and after the first session she already learned proper techniques and skills.

Jen is very responsive and very flexible on scheduling. My daughter plans to continue to with Coach Jen and enhance her technical skills and confidence on the field.

I highly recommend Coach Jen as we feel lucky to have her working with us.

Despite the fact that our daughter is a bit on the younger side, Coach Jenn enthusiastically embraced working with her. The customized, age-specific training sessions helped not only increase our daughter's confidence in all aspects of the game but more importantly deepened her love for playing. I would highly recommend Coach Jenn to anyone looking to help their child with supplemental work in a fun and competitive environment.
My daughter really enjoys soccer but she LOVES her lessons with Jennifer. After every lesson, she is so excited to tell me how great the lesson was and show me the new things she learned. I am confident that the off season lessons helped prepare my daughter for the spring season! To quote Morgan, 'I had so much fun at my lessons!'
My daughter has absolutely loved the individual quality training she has received! Every minute of the session is productive!
My daughter absolutely loved training with Jennifer and could see a huge improvement in her ability as well as her confidence in the game. Each private session is well thought out and tailored to fit the exact need of the player. I highly recommend Second Soccer Training to any player looking to sharpen their skills!
My daughter trained with Jennifer for a short time until unfortunately she had to leave for the start of her new season. My daughter enjoyed herself and I saw a dramatic difference In her skills and confidence in just a few sessions. I would highly recommend her and hope to work with her again in the future!
