Coach Jonny was incredible with my 13yo son! His session is well planned, and my son was learning, having fun and being challenged the whole time. Best part is that he could relate to Coach Jonny's recent playing experience. My son's dribbling and shooting techniques improved with just one session, and we're looking forward to a great training relationship with Coach Jonny!
Michelle (CoachUp client)
We had our first session with Jonny and had a great experience. He was able to quickly identify areas of play that needed improvement and began drills on those areas. We decided to do an additional ten lessons.
Lenore (CoachUp client)
Coach Jonny is an amazing coach. We had a great training session and he is very knowledgeable and thorough. I highly recommend training with him.
Vivian (CoachUp client)
Jonny is THE BEST! My son looks up to him not only as a coach but as a mentor and friend. Jonny has gone out of his way to make it work with our busy schedule. He listens to my son’s needs and is a fountain of information by sharing all his knowledge with him. We are very happy and will continue with Jonny long term.

Kristy (CoachUp client)
I have all positive things to say about him! He was the perfect balance of fun yet professional and my 9yr old had an awesome time! He also was very quick to respond which I appreciate! We already have our next session scheduled! He also provided a good amount of feedback which included a combination of observations as well as tips and drills for improving my sons game. Overall, we were very impressed and would highly recommend. He was a pleasure to work with:)

JUNG JOON (CoachUp client)
Jonny was a great coach. He made the training session fun and also challenging. Coach Ben also has participated in my evaluation, and they gave me suggestions on what I should do to get better at footwork, first touch, dribbling, juggling, and shooting form. Coach Jonny explained how each training is relevant to skill & ability improvement. Coach Jonny and Ben have spent extra 10 to 15 minutes for the evaluation session. It was definitely worth money, and I would recommend coach Jonny to everyone who are willing to improve their skills and abilities.
Peter (CoachUp client)
Jonny had a great connection with our kids durine 1st session. I see benefits of using him as a private coach. Definitely going to have more sessions. Thanks Jonny

Kurt (CoachUp client)
Good first session. Jonny had some good drills and kept the pace moving
Christine (CoachUp client)
Coach Jonny exceeded not only my expectations but my son’s as well. My teenage son didn’t think he needed a soccer coach but after one session with coach Jonny he realized how much he could learn and improve through continued sessions with coach Jonny. Jonny was professional and personable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve.

Ben Maurey (2016 MLS Draft Candidate) (Testimonial)
I have had the pleasure of playing with and against Jonny for the last 10 years. As a player he was someone who truly understood the game but also a player you certainly dreaded having defend you. He also had great technical skills and athletic ability which all allowed him to go play pro overseas. Now as a coach he is very good at translating what he learned and his knowledge of the game to players of all ages and skill levels. I have worked with Jonny and also had many clients I have sent to him. Everyone who worked with him have reported back that they were very impressed with him not only as a coach but also as a person.
