First we will have a phone conversation about what the athlete is wanting to accomplish with training. Secondly, we will then write an IDP (Individual Development Plan) for the athlete so they will know what things to work on at home with measurable goals. Thirdly, we will move through the proper techniques of what we are working on then progress from walk through, to light pressure, and then full pressure to best simulate game conditions. Fourthly, we will introduce age appropriate tactical coaching to help the athlete master the skills being worked on. Finally, we will summarize and make sure that both athlete (and parents) understand our next step of development. We will keep communication lines open at all times to help ensure that all athletes meet their goals.

Christy (CoachUp client)
Coach Joel is wonderful! He made Addi feel comfortable in our first lesson, and gave her a variety of different skill drills she could work on at home as well as valuable learnings for on the field. We are looking forward to using him again in the future.

Excellent very knowledgeable very detailed oriented coach. I am already starting to see the confidence and skill set with my son improve in the brief amount of time that he has worked with coach Joey. He is a phenomenal coach and it has been a phenomenal experience
