Michael Magid

Bio:
“Bad athletes don’t exist; just uneducated ones.”
I went into college as a mediocre to subpar athlete. I was small, weak, and slow. I knew in order to perform at a higher level; something had to change. I began training with Kevin Morris (a disciple of Paul Chek at the C.H.E.K. institute and Donald Chu at Ather Sports), and instantly became fascinated by what the human body was capable of. Within a year I was running faster, jumping higher, and more powerful than I had ever been. I was hooked!
After college; I set out on a soccer career. Despite some success, I knew my true calling was in coaching. I began working with elite youth players at the prestigious club “Real Socal”, and was a regional camp staff member for Olympic development. I enjoyed developing exceptional talent, yet something was missing. One day I was evaluating talent at a trial, when I noticed a nine year old girl. She was gangly, awkward and “unathletic”. The young girl was sent down to a lower division team and eventually cut by the club. I spoke to her father and began working privately on her body mechanics, agility, speed, and power. Within 2 years this young lady went from being considered too unathletic to play, to starting for one of the top girls’ teams in the nation. She’s currently a top division 1 recruit nationally. Similar stories followed and I realized my real purpose is to assist the “average” athlete become extraordinary.
I hold several coaching and training certifications from institutions such as IFA, NCCPT, AAAISMA, USSF, and NSCAA. I credits my abilities to the teachings of Kevin Morris, Mat Herold (SportfitLA), Kelly Baggett (HFS), and the staff of Athlete’s Performance’.

Client Reviews

Michael is an awesome coach. On our first session he was quickly able to identify strengths and weaknesses and provide the right drills and technique to help get me ready for my tryout. Doesn't take it easy on you (which I liked). Can quickly key and diagnose your technique and point out where you need to improve and how to improve it. Will definitely be training with Michael again.

Coach Michael was great! I highly recommend him!

Great communication and flexibility while scheduling...my 8 year old son enjoyed his session and we look forward to some more sessions!...thanks!

Great first one on one goalie session for my 11 yr old son! Coach Michael was patient, knowledgeable, and very encouraging. He made it challenging and fun from start to finish. I would definitely recommend coach Michael.

Coach Michael is an amazing coach. He is always encouraging and positive, but he can be stern if needed. He's very knowledgeable about soccer as well, and he does a good job of helping kids with nearly every skill they need to know. I've had a couple of lessons with him, and every time I take away several new tricks or techniques I never really thought about before. My play has greatly improved in the last couple of weeks, and it's obvious that everything Coach Michael does really helps.

Coach Michael has been a great coach for my son. Coach Michael is very inspirational and knowledgeable. He relates well with kids, is approachable and punctual. Definitely would recommend him to anyone motivated to learn goalkeeping.

I really enjoyed my first coaching session with Coach Michael. With his help I know I will be ready for the next level in my soccer career.

Awesome Coach! Great skill great motivation Great teacher!!!!

Coach Michael was great for my son! He was able to pin point important skills that needed to be improved during the first session.

Coach Michael is a great coach! After just one session our ten year old daughter feels much more confident going into her first tournament. It was a huge plus to find a coach that could specifically focus on goal keeping techniques. We look forward to booking our next session with Coach Michael.

Michael has been everything we could have hoped for and more. He has utilized his goalkeeping expertise, and his ability to transmit that information to a young girl, and is providing a foundation based on fundamentals. He maintains a genuinely positive attitude, and after each session my daughter is fired up to work on the new things she has learned, and looks forward to her next chance to work with him. There has been considerable progress in just a couple of sessions. Highly recommend Michael.
