More About Coach Mike

Personal/private coaching sessions for the past 7 years. Coach Mike typically works with high-school aged kids, but has coached all ages between 5-21 including college and professional players.

All-conference and All-area award winner in High School. 1st team All-American selection in college. Drafted by the San Jose Earthquakes of the MLS in 2012, signed first contract in Sweden in 2013. Played in Sweden for 2 seasons. Achieved placement among the top 3 goal scores in the league for both seasons.

Coach Mike invests so much into his players. He brings high energy to each session, and seeks to develop COMPLETE soccer players- covering the mental, physical, technical and tactical aspects of the game. Confidence is a major part of each player's performance, and each of these aspects are vitally important at gaining and maintaining confidence. He specializes in technical development (ball control, first touch, dribbling, passing, shooting) and teaches all aspects in each session. Coach Mike encourages his players to be creative, while getting them to train outside of their normal comfort zone, when necessary, in order for them to learn their undiscovered abilities, and grow their confidence. He instills values of hard work, positive attitudes, and persistence. With that said, every effort is made to run a fun and enjoyable session, preserving the love and joy of the game above everything else.

Client Reviews

We have booked a clinic for my older son with Coach Mike as well as one on one training sessions. Coach Mike really takes the time to see exactly where he needs to start with each player individually. He is understanding, supportive, encouraging, structured, but fun and knows how to talk to children of different ages and really connect with them. My youngest just started training with him and he is absolutely over the moon with Coach Mike and how he connected with him and educated him on the fundamentals of the game and made it fun. He has really listened to coach Mike on the skills they went over in their first session, he got through to him in a way I'm not sure anyone else has. My older son can't wait to start his training with coach mike again this weekend, they even share a favorite soccer team, LIVERPOOL!
My boys are 11 and 7, one plays for a competition team and one doesn't. But Coach Mike has the ability and talent to work with my boys on what they need and want to work on based on their different needs and ages. I definitely recommend Coach mike for anyone looking for a coach that is interested in actually helping kids improve in the areas they want to and in other areas as well.

Coach Mike was awesome! His coaching approach was perfect for my daughter and you could tell he had her best interest in mind throughout the session. After one session, he already made an impact. He not only focused on skill, but also the mental aspect of the game, which is huge. We're looking forward to scheduling many more sessions with Mike!

Coach Mike was great with my daughter. I am certain that consistent sessions will take her to a new level. He trains her hard, but makes it a lot of fun at the same time. She looks forward to her sessions with Coach Mike! Mandy

My daughter spent 5 sessions with Coach Mike. I have seen a significant change in her overall gameplay and her foot skills have greatly improved. She said that not only did he train her to improve her skills but also he also helped her entire mindset. How to get out of her own head during game time. Once our high school season is over we will definitely be contacting Mike to schedule more sessions.

Coach Mike was passionate and knowledgeable about soccer. He was positive and engaging with my 11 year old and took the time to assess his skills, personality and game passion. Mike has been professional from booking to the first lesson. We plan to continue training with Coach Mike and would recommend him. The private training field was a nice touch as well.

Coach Mike has been great with my two children, aged 8 and 10. They have learned alot in two sessions that they had not previously learned in soccer camps or playing on teams.
Mike has lots of drills and progression of technical skills.
We have three more to go at this time, so I will update at that time.

Great coach. Would highly recommend.

Very good coach, he has a lot of patience, my kids have improved a lot since first session , O highly recommend him...

There is no need to look further coach Mike is your guy. He worked with my daughter on shooting drills, dribbling drills, conditioning. He has such a positive attitude and always high energy. Even my teenage daughter noticed this right away, he is always so positive. Because of this my daughter felt very comfortable. From now on he will be my daughters go to soccer coach. Mike thank you so much and I am sure we will be in touch.

Coach Mike was great. He gave very detailed, timely, and constructive feedback.

Coach Mike, in the short time frame of two lessons, has really given our ten-year-old son some strong skill sets to successfully start off his upcoming soccer season with confidence, the edge of a more conditioned drive, yet also brings to his session the element of fun and passion for the game of soccer. He is patient, attentive and positively engaging, taking time to thoroughly refine each skill he is over viewing. I wouldn't hesitate to pass on to anyone looking for a coach to book a session with Coach Mike.

Coach mike is a great coach. I learned a lot in one session. I would recommend him to anyone!

Simply the best coach! I highly recommend Coach Mike to any parent who is looking to improve their son or daughter's soccer skills. Well worth the money and time. He is very experience and care about improving my son's skills and self-confidence. From our first meeting for our session, Coach Mike was prompt, really took the time to get to know my son, and focus on improving my son's skills. He quickly evaluated what foundations my son had mastered before challenging him with new skills. I can see my son's skills improved after every training. My son is more confidence at dribbling and attacking the goal now. My son played competitive for 3 years now and this is probably the first time I've seen him this excited about coming to training. I will definitely book more training sessions from this coach.

Coach Mike is a really fantastic support for my son. He quickly builds positive relationships with players. It's clear that Mike has a high level of skill and training, which is demonstrated as he works with my son. Mike works one-on-one with my son in developing him as a high performing soccer player, and he drives his students to be successful in all aspects of their playing and the game.

The improvement I've seen in my son in just two trainings has made this coaching investment worthwhile!

Sincerely,

Doug P.
