More About Coach Nolan

My name is Nolan. Coach Nolan or 'Sensei" is what my players call me. I have a Cal South E license certification and have been coaching youth sports since 2006. I've coached recreation and All-star teams for players ages 4-16. During the last 3 years I have been coaching a girls 14-16 Signature team that competes in the Cal South District 5 area. My coaching philosophy is proven to show players how to build mental toughness, confidence, improve their weaknesses and develop their strengths so they play consistently at or above their potential.

I continue to work each week with dedicated players who have the desire to improve their confidence, increase their speed and agility and are committed to making their all-star, signature, club, and high school teams.

I was a two year varsity basketball starter at La Mirada High School. In my senior year I was named to the Suburban League all CIF team with an Honorable Mention in 1995. I had played competitive soccer since I was 5 years old so when I reached college it was an easy transition from Basketball to Soccer.

At Cypress College I was a walk on and two weeks after I joined the team I became a starter. I maintained my starting position for my entire two year career at Cypress.

My training programs are proven to help players develop better ball control, ball mastery, increased agility, core strength, shooting power and accuracy, and knowledge of the game that will help them compete at their best each time they take the field.

I work with each parent and player to understand the players current needs and desire for improvement and then develop and customized training platform to give them supreme confidence and improved skill.

You can choose to participate in a group or private training programs. Most of my training programs are 4-12 weeks and designed to progress each player from beginner to competent - competent to confident - confident to a master of the skill. You will develop technique and confidence to perform the skills you are learning in a game like situation while remaining calm under pressure.

Each session is 60-90 minutes depending on the players needs and you can decide to train 1-3 times per week depending on what the player is preparing for.

Each player works through each drill so they understand the mechanics, develop confidence in their abilities to perform the skill, increase the speed they can perform the skill, and then develop the abilities to perform the skill automatically under pressure.

Excellent session with Coach Nolan. Great training techniques and motivates to push harder. Very knowledgeable and highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.

We had a great first training with Coach Nolan. He connected with my son and began teaching him skills right away! We are thankful that we found him.

Very informative. Great training!!

My son just had just first session with Coach Nolan and we are impressed in his experience in baseball. He pointed out some mistakes and that is something we were looking for. We hope our son can continue to learn from Coach Nolan.

Coach Nolan is an excellent soccer coach. He’s patient, fun with the kids, and very knowledgeable. After his session, my 11 year old son said, “I really like him, he has so much energy.” This coach is highly recommended.

Coach Nolan is a true Godsend! After only two sessions with him, I have seen a major shift in how my 14 year old daughter plays. While he has helped tremendously with her physical game, his knowledge and expertise with the mental aspect has exceeded my expectations for sure. My daughter plays with alot more confidence and resilience the whole way through! I cannot thank him enough for this. I would highly recommend Coach Nolan, and will definitely be booking plenty of other sessions throughout my daughter's soccer career!

Coach Nolan has been Great with my daughter. He is able to communicate with the athlete exactly what we told Coach Nolan she needed help with. A very good experience.

My session with a Coach Nolan was great. A very motivating and transparent individual! Demonstrated and helped me understand each drill very clearly. Also, very focused on keeping me mentally clocked in the entire session.
If you’re looking for a 1-1 personal Coach, (as a high school varsity, community college and university soccer player), I highly recommend.

Coach Nolan is motivation and his instruction is intuitive and professional. Our daughter was lacking confidence and regressing in certain skills. He has helped her to be a more confident, proficient and assertive player.

Great with kids

Great first session! cant wait for the next one! Thanks coach.

My daughter really enjoyed her first training session and is excited for the next one!! Nolan was very personable and knowledgeable.

Coach Nolan was awesome! My 8yo daughter was nervous before her first session, but coach Nolan made training fun and challenging. His ability to quickly recognize her weaknesses and implement training to break her bad habits was impressive. A couple key words and tweaks instantly had her kicking the ball with more power and control. We cannot wait until our next session...thx coach!

Coach Nolan was a great coach. In the first introductory session with my son he was able to determine any weaknesses and tailor a plan for future sessions. Coach Nolan made the sessions fun and competitive to help keep my son engaged. His timely feedback after each session was very positive and informative. He always detailed what my son worked on and areas that needed improvement. I look forward to planning future sessions with Coach Nolan and I would highly recommend him.

Coach Nolan, clearly an extremely skilled player, was absolutely wonderful with my 10 year old son - who has barely kicked a soccer ball. Very personable, down to earth, and very professional. We tried another coach for comoarison - hands down - both my son and I chose Coach Nolan!

My daughter has currently had six sessions with Coach Nolan and I'm very impressed. Within only the first few sessions I began noticing a huge improvement in her ability to control the soccer ball, kicks, and confidence level. In addition, the coach from her recreational soccer team is amazed at how she is the most improved player on the team this year. Parents from her team are coming up to me and complimenting on her progress. After my daughter's fifth session I got to see her move up to mid defense this past weekend and take control of the ball with confidence like she never has before. Coach Nolan always gives us feedback, takes time with my daughter and never rushes, and is very professional. We just purchased more sessions today and will be working with Coach Nolan for a long while. I would highly recommend Coach Nolan to anyone!!!

Had our first session with Nolan and my daughter was very excited about what she learned. She was anxious to make another appointment to continue her lessons. I highly recommend Nolan.

Nolan was very experienced and worked well with my son. He was well prepared and jumped right into the session with organized training. He asked good questions and showed interest in making my son a better soccer player.

My daughter has improved so much in 3 months, but more importantly her confidence has improved as well.
We are all so grateful for all that you've done to bring out their best. They absolutely would not be the players they are today, without you. In the future I am certain I will hear "and I owe this to my coach Nolan Berentis...
Coach Nolan has an unbelievable dedication to his players and he is really passionate about teaching new soccer techniques. His vision about the game inspires all players to work hard and I really like his positive feedback.
Coach Nolan has a tremendous love and passion for the game. I get a sense that he takes pride in his team/players. I love that he teaches the kids to think about the game....to understand it. His focus on gaining a better understanding of the game, better endurance, and goal setting techniques are unlike any coach in the area.
