We Loved Coach Michael!!!
My 9 year old son was super exited to have a personal coach & he was eager to learn. Michael was very attentive to his needs & made him feel successful. Michael collaborated with my son showing him the skills with focus and then praised my son with positive feedback on his success. Michael taught drills, dribbling, passing, and goal targets. He brought tools and materials to assist in this instruction. We are VERY pleased with his pleasant demeanor and professionalism. Highly recommended :)

Nice, very patient, clear instructions and good tips. - Tyler, age 10

Mike was a great coaching match for my son, his instruction kept my son engaged the entire lesson.

Michael Reyes. A tall strong striker that played for the same college as me and went on to one of the top collegial soccer programs in the United States. Known for his strength and aerial game, he's a fundamental piece of a team that brings positive criticism. Reyes played professional soccer in Puerto Rico and that taught him a lot. He gained soccer IQ, yet, managed to develop a professional career which can be passed down to the youth of Miami. I've played with Mike ever since I was strong and big enough to compete at the amateur level in Miami, Florida which was 14 years old. As a defender, I loved competing against him since good competition makes you an even better player. Having a comfortable relationship with a coach is a must; and I feel that Mike is the chosen one. His professionalism and skill can be a fundamental to all great excellent players down here in Miami. Mike is probably one of the most optimistic and confident persons I have ever faced and shared a team with.
Thanks to Mike Reyes I got an opportunity to continue my education at East Central College in Missouri. Once there I earned a full soccer scholarships that helped pay for my time there and made the experience so much better. It turned out to be the greatest decision and experience so far in my life. I learned a lot while being and graduated with an Associates of Arts degree. After 2 years in Missouri I came back to Miami and thanked Mike Reyes for changing my life for the better.
I had the privilege of playing soccer with Mike Reyes on different levels throughout my life. We played high school and college level together, as well as amateur leagues in Miami, FL. After playing in HS soccer for Miami Coral Park, Mike gave me a phone call to ask me to try out for his college team back in 2005. Thanks to that invitation, my life changed tremendously in a positive way. I ended up playing one more year with Mike, and then transferred to Columbia College in Columbia, MO where I finished my Bachelor's degree in Management Information System. Making the decision to study while playing soccer on a scholarship was one of the best decisions I have ever made. All of this was thanks to Mike. He has a great determination to help Miami area soccer players to improve their individual skills and also to help them pursue a college career. Soccer runs in his blood and I am sure he will help many people reach their goals while having fun playing the world's greatest sport!
