A client can expect a tough physical and mental challenging session. My goal is to motivate them to their limits and improve their overall performance each time they step onto the field. I want all my athletes to unleash the potential for being star athletes. The majority of my trainings focus on skill development (footwork, cuts, turns, dribbling, passing, shooting etc.). I believe a technical player is a good player and will ultimately determine his/her future success. As the player develops his/her technical ability I will shift more of my my focus on tactical skills i.e. (knowing when to shoot vs. pass, awareness of strengths/weakness of opponents and teammates, knowing who to pass to, etc.). Intertwined throughout my sessions I will incorporate fitness drills that focus on speed/agility/quickness, stamina, jumping ability, strength, balance, flexibility, power, etc. By using these three areas for a typical 45-60 minute training session, I guarantee athletes will see growth.

Example Session:
1st - Technical Skills/Fitness (20-25 min)
2nd - Tactical Skills/Fitness (15 min)
3rd - Blended Skills/Fitness (10-15 min)

I would highly recommend Nathan. My 9 year old had his first lesson with Nathan today and we will definitely be returning for additional sessions. He is very approachable and knowledgeable. My son learned a lot just in the one meeting they had today.

My 15 year old son had a great experience training with coach Nathan. The direction provided was very helpful toward improving my son’s game.

Great experience. Really structured training, and he pushed our daughter but in a effective way.

Coach Nathan has been wonderful. My son has learned new skills from just 3 days with him. He is eager to learn more skills. Thank you Coach Nathan!

Coach Nathan is very kind and extremely patient. I already feel like I’ve learned a lot after just one session with him.

Coach Nathan has done a great job with our 16 year old. We signed up for more sessions and can't wait to see how much our son learns.

Great first session, Coach Nathan was easy to work with and had plenty of drills lined up. Will definitely be working with him more this summer.

My 14yr old son has had several sessions with Coach Nathan. He has been challenged and learned new skills. We are continuing twice per week to continue his training to prepare for college soccer and football kicker. Nathan is very flexible and is a great communicator.

My son loved Coach Nathan. He is so very excited about working with him after one session. He is great with kids.

We were very happy with Max's 1st session with Coach Nathan!! I have just booked 5 more sessions!!!!!

Coach Nathan is currently coaching my 6 year old and he had his 1st session a few days ago and it went very well. My son was excited about the session and is ready for his coming sessions with Coach Nathan. As his Dad I'm excited to continue the relationship with Coach Nathan as well as he will be a great asset to my son's development and love of the game.

Great first session with Nathan, working on the specific things we hoped to focus on. Looking forward to the next one already!

My son loves working with him. Great sessions, flexible, and great communication

Coach Nathan is great to work with! My son has enjoyed training with Coach Nathan in preparation for High School soccer tryouts. He is always well prepared and the drills are amazing and help to build on footwork, stamina, and overall precision. Collin looks forward to his sessions with Coach Nathan and he is feeling more confident with each week!

Coach Nathan is a great coach! After two session with my son, my son learned a lot of techniques from him and enjoyed very much having lessons with him. I would recommend coach Nathan to anyone!

Coach Nathan was very knowledgeable and patient with my kids. He was very active and engaged in the lessons. He was firm but encouraging and both of my kids enjoyed him. I highly recommend him!

We had a great trial lesson with Nathan. He was very motivating and encouraging and was able to quickly identify strengths and weaknesses. We’ll most definitely continue lessons. My son loved it!

Arrived early. Very attuned to my son’s needs. Great drills and coaching. Appreciate the specific feedback given.

Nathan show up with a lesson tailored for what our player wanted to focus on and identified key points to add to training and future sessions. Exactly what we were looking for. Our player likes Nathan, being able to customize training sessions and looks forward to more sessions.

Good trainer, a lot of enthusiasm and knowledge of the game and fitness industry. Always on the Move! Great workout and training session! Improved my speed/agility and confidence to be a great Midfielder/Attacker
