Client Reviews

Coach Michael is fantastic, our 10 year old needed some additional soccer training for an upcoming tryout and took the time to understand his skill level and adjust sessions to get him him ready. Coach Michael is super flexible with scheduling and beyond nice and professional, couldn’t recommend him enough!

Coach Mike is a professional, competent, and friendly coach. Highly recommend.

Coach Michael is a perfect fit for my 9 y/o son
A lot of patience and great with redirecting his attention
Explanation of the drills is age appropriate and the drills themselves are great. We’ve had a couple sessions and I’ve already seen an improvement in my sons ball handling skills. We will be booking more sessions with Coach Michael 💪🏻⚽️

Coach Michael is a great coach. My kids (7 & 9) had a session with him and he was engaged the entire time. He had them do different technical drills and was very patient while doing so. I can tell he has a passion to train. We would recommend him!!

We have only had a few sessions with Coach Michael, but I can already see improvement. He is incredibly patient with my son, and keeps him engaged for the full session. Highly recommend!

Coach Michael is excellent! He has a strong work ethic and has pushed my son to be his best. So glad we signed up to train with him!

My son has had 2 sessions with coach Mike so far. He has been on time, engaged, professional, and focused on working on my sons areas in need of improvement and fostering his strengths. But he not only tackles the physical skills, but the mental aspect as well in how he trains.

My son asked him for help with a home exercise program and he spent time talking to him about a regimen and then sent him a written plan and video which was very helpful.

Looking forward to continuing to work with him and learn more from him!

Michael’s been great with my daughter. Also very flexible with scheduling !

Michael is doing a great job working with my 12 year old son. He has strong experience as a player and is great working with kids.

Finding Coach Michael has been the best thing for my son so far. My son loves training with him and is excited to go back. Coach Michael listens to areas of opportunity that you identify as well as identifies ares of opportunity himself. he has a great time with my son, bur also keeps him focused and doesn't let him slack off in training. if you are serious about improving your game, this is the cosch for you. Trust his process and you will see results after session 1 like we did!

Wonderful coach!! Coach Michael helped my son gain confidence in many skill sets and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

Coach Micheal was great with my 2 kids. He was very patient but persistent. My kids loved him and asked me to book more sessions with him( which is very rare!)

Michael is a great coach!. My son was excited after the first session and His next season is on coming Saturday. I would recommend Michael to anyone.

Michael was fantastic and very patient with Logan.

Coach Michael has been great! My daughter said she is having a ton of fun. He is very encouraging and knowledgeable. She can’t wait to go back for the next session!

I have really enjoyed my training sessions with Coach Michael. He is extremely knowledgeable about the game and has a diverse range of drills that are helpful for any player, no matter their skill level. His sessions focus on building technique and gaining the consistency and confidence that you need for improving yourself as a player. I would recommend him to anyone who is interested!

Coach Michael has been a fantastic coach for my 10 year old son. His trainings are designed to make my son an all-around great player in any position. My son leaves each training exhausted from working so hard, which is great to see. Coach Michael is responsive, professional, and definitely worth every cent. I highly recommend him!

My son loves working with Michael. He’s kind and knowledgeable.

He has been great for my 10 yr old son who is just getting started with soccer. My son aspires to step up from intramural level to travel team. Michael has already made a difference in his skill and mindset (after 3 sessions).

Took a very raw talented athlete and gave him essential skills and we saw game time results after only a few sessions and a lot of results after 10 sessions. Excited for the next block of sessions and my son's development. Thanks Michael.

“I needed a coach to help my 9 years old son to learn basic/intermediate soccer skills. I found coach Michael and couldn’t be happier of the results I’m seeing so far. I have seen the results happen quickly with my sons ability to absorb the information being taught to him which I attribute to coach Michaels coaching style. He helps my son understand what’s being asked of him with his tone and the way he explains training concepts. Overall, coach Michael has impressed me and done such an amazing job.”

Great Coach. Knows how to train players.

A couple of great sessions so far with Michael. My 7 year old son is enjoying it very much. I look forward to many more.

Coach Michael has been awesome with my 8 year son! My son comes home and can’t wait for the next session. Highly Recommend

Coach Michael does a tremendous job working on footwork and agility with my 8 year old daughter. Since she has started working with him her confidence and assertiveness has increased substantially! I would highly recommend coach Michael!!!

Michael is amazing he got my daughter to learn stuff I couldn’t get her to understand for months…. Can’t wait to continue our sessions

Excellent coach.. listens first then customizes training program to player’s needs.

Michael is a phenomenal coach. Only after the first session, my 13 year old son exuded major confidence in his game. Michael encouraged him to take shots that he would normally not take- something that has been difficult for other coaches to accomplish. My son has had a few sessions with him now & he is genuinely excited to meet with Michael each week. I would highly recommend Coach Mike! Best ever!!!

Coach Michael has been great with my 8 year old son!! He's done 2 sessions so far and I am happy with the drills Michael has incorporated in the sessions. I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for extra training for your kids to accelerate their soccer IQ. I look forward to working with Coach Michael in the months to come.

My son is 8 years old and cannot stop talking about his coach! My son wasn't really interested in playing soccer and was saying that he didn't want to play. I watched him play for a couple of years before now and felt like he could be really great, with some encouragement. I looked for coaching to build his skills, confidence, and sportsmanship. Coach Michael has really helped a lot!!! I can see it when he plays with his team. They have even begin to place him in an older age group at his regular practices due to his improved skill level. I asked what he wanted to rate his coach, he yelled "10!" Then "20". So I gave the highest rating we could give! Looking forward to long-term coaching with coach Michael!

Horrible experience.
I would not recommend Michael to anyone.

-Unreliable booking.
-Unprofessional (attempted to market his side soccer business.)

Book at your own risk.

Michael was great in our evaluation session. Very patient and knowledgeable working with me, an adult, trying to improve the finer points of my game. Looking forward to working with I’m again!

Coach Michael is not only accommodating and affordable- he is flexible and eager to help - my 8 year old loves him - and got 10 times better at his soccer team - now they want him on the traveling team - Amazing - recommendation to all ages And all levels of soccer

IT: Michael , bravo ragazzo e un bravo atleta ed allenatore ideale per allenamenti con bambini e ragazzi in quanto è molto volonteroso e si adatta molto bene a tutte le modalità d’allenamento sia tecniche , che sullo sforzo fisico.
Consigliato.

ENG: Michael is a very good athlete and ideal coach for training both for children and teenagers. He is agile and adapts very well to all training methods, both technical and physical preparation of a soccer player in general.
Can highly recommend him!

Coach Micheal was an excellent soccer coach to work with. He has a passion for the sport and a tremendous ability to present the concepts of the sport in ways that players of all ages can immediately show progress. I would seek out Coach Michael of additional soccer training.

Coach Michael is an excellent trainer. Each session has focused on agility and fundamental techniques through a variety of drills. Michael does a nice job challenging my son by continuing to adapt the difficulty of the drills as appropriate. My son felt like he had improved after just the first couple sessions. We plan to continue to work with him & I’d highly recommend coach Michael to others.

Coach Michael is very good!!! The session is tailored to what you want your goals to be! He really breaks down the "why's" and "how's" of how the setup of the drill will transfer into a match! He will push you when it comes to your weaknesses to make it your strengths and he is very knowledgeable. I'm definitely looking forward to doing more training sessions with him!

Coach Michael is even better than what I was hoping for in a soccer coach. He has a lot of experience and skill but is also able to adapt to your skill level, evaluate your strengths and weaknesses and customize skill drills to suit your needs and goals. He's incredibly supportive and enthusiastic and I think he would be an absolutely fabulous coach for all ages and skill levels.

Michael is a great coach! He tailored my training session and set the goal based on where I want to improve! During the training, he encouraged me when I faced difficulties. He pointed out out exactly where and how to improve and make it easy to understand. He is very professional, and helped me not only improve my soccer skills but also help to build my confidence and foster a fighting spirit! I will look forward to my next training session with him!

Just had a great training session with coach Michael. Coach Michael has a deep understanding of soccer techniques, ways to improve these techniques, and he is highly proficient at communicating this knowledge to an athlete. Besides, he has a great personality, and that makes his sessions enjoyable and fun. I am looking forward to starting training with coach Michael on a regular basis.

Had a great first session with Coach Michael. He was organized but adaptive. He was able to evaluate my current level of skill and fitness and tailor the exercises to bolster both strengths and weaknesses. Every drill was geared to something I can actually use on the pitch. No fluff or tricks. I left the training feeling more confident and having a better understanding of how to improve technically, physically and mentally. Real quality coach and a comprehensive training session. Would recommend him without hesitation.

Coach Michael is a top coach. Michaels ability to translate his message in a way that is not only positive and constructive is second to none. I’ve been around soccer for 30 years and very few coaches impress me the way coach Michael does. Not only is he an elite player himself, his coaching ability is on the same level. I would highly recommend coach Michael to any player looking to take their game to the next level. His sessions are meticulously planned and executed with Precision and care. Coach Michaels message and training are up there with the very very best. His session plan and drills were already prepared prior to practice. Last but not least - coach Michael has a very bright future in this game in whatever aspect he chooses to apply himself in.
