Great session
Adrian (CoachUp client)
John has been providing lessons for my 6yr old daughter the past two months. It was very important to me for him to keep the sessions fun and entertaining given her age. John makes sure she is engaged but also can adapt when she loses focus and gets her laughing with fun activities. He incorporates me into the sessions to make sure she understands what he wants her to do and together we make sure she gets something out of our lesson and we can collectively ensure she is having a good time as well.
Monique (CoachUp client)
He was great with our 12 year old. Our son said he is upbeat and makes it fun!
Taner (CoachUp client)
Coach John Can is everything we expected and more. His resume speaks for itself, and it showed after just 1 session. More importantly how our 6 year old son responded to him. Coach John Can has the ability to motivate our son to hustle harder. We saw it later that day when he practiced with his travel team. We were very impressed and highly recommend him. Our son is already looking forward to his next session.
Ana (CoachUp client)
My son had his first session with Coach Can and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. When I asked my son how he thought the session went, his response was "it was awesome, he pushed me really hard and was really supportive". I didn't stay for the full session but what I did see was exactly what my son described. Coach Can appreciated my son's desire to improve and therefore pushed and filled him with encouragement to play his best!
I'm in the process of scheduling additional sessions with Coach Can and would definitely recommend him to any player who is looking to improve his/her game!

Coach John is awesome. I didn't know what to expect but he greeted me with a warm cheerful smile. He worked so well in a positive way with my 9 year old son. His drills were perfectly planned strategies and he spent over an hour with us each time. Ryan loved the practice sessions so much and can't wait to do more. John is clearly an expert soccer player and worked so well to teach my son. He's great with kids and provides progressive yet effective instruction. Great job John. I am so grateful to you. We will see you soon for more practice. From Larry
Angela (CoachUp client)
I reached out to Coach John Can to see if he'd be able to come watch my son's last game of his spring soccer season. He'd been getting frustrated and disappointed during the winter indoor and spring outdoor season. For a kid who loved soccer since a very young age, it was heartbreaking to watch game after game. He responded right away and said yes he'd be there. He arrived 30 minutes prior to game start and we chatted a bit about my son. Then he watched the entire game and took notes, giving me feedback and his thoughts at halftime. After he'd been there for almost an hour and a half, I asked him if he needed to leave and he said he really wanted to stay to meet my son. He identified at least three things he thought he could help me son with. I was very impressed with his professionalism and genuine interest in helping my son. The next day, I booked another training session with him. I haven't told my son yet, but I know he'll be excited! Already I've seen my son's attitude change from frustration toward hopeful, just by meeting this coach for a few minutes after his game. I'm already looking forward to this next training session for him. I highly recommend this coach. You won't be disappointed!
Kathy (CoachUp client)
Coach John is great! We had a 2 hour session with my sons who both play on competitive soccer teams. He was early so we could meet and discuss areas we wanted to focus on in training. He was engaging & enthusiastic. His training program was organized. Many repetitions of skilled soccer moves and runs off the ball and moving with and without the ball, attacking and defending.
He has a genuine love of the game and it was obvious during the training. My boys have trained with many trainers on their teams and in competitve soccer camps and they are not easily impressed. They loved John and are looking forward to their next session. I highly recommend John, you won't be disappointed.
Shanae (CoachUp client)
I am going to be a Junior in college, and I am coming off from an ACL injury that put me out of soccer for 17 months. I wanted to get back into the game and find the perfect coach. Coach JOHN CAN is that perfect coach. He actually runs with me during the training; he is not just standing to the side barking orders. I love his training. Coach is by my side practicing and running with me. I really like how involved he is in the training. Another thing I love about him is how positive he is. Good comments and encouraging words are always coming from him. There is never a negative thing that comes out of his mouth. In addition to that, he is very good at explaining game like situations. He has taken the time to stop a drill to demonstrate and explain the play/move/run that I am supposed to accomplish if I do not understand it. Also, Coach JOHN CAN is very easy to work with, and he is very flexible with scheduling. If anyone is looking for a coach I highly recommend Coach JOHN CAN. He is simply the best.
Debra (CoachUp client)
My 9 year old nephew had his first coaching session with John. I was so impressed with the lesson that John gave. John is extremely patient, knowledgeable and skilled. You can see his professional credentials in his teaching methods. He connected with my nephew so well. He is a natural with youths. John kept the lesson both exciting and interesting. He does not sit and instruct from the side line. He was on the field side by side with my nephew. So looking forward to the next session and sessions with John. He is a winner! I recommend giving him a try!
Sean Wallace / TRU - Men's Soccer Head Coach (Testimonial)
We were so lucky that John chose to accept our full soccer scholarship and join our soccer program. He is an exceptional player with exceptional skills. He brought European soccer mentality, knowledge and skills to our program which was invaluable.
Omer Gulen / Besiktas JK Head Coach (Testimonial)
John Can is a remarkable player on and off the field. I have followed his career since we signed him at age 9 to our club. I know the skills and knowledge that John gained by playing in our professional soccer club will propel any young soccer player he trains.
