My son really enjoyed the assessment session and asked to sign up for more. He said Coach Oliver was very easy to talk to and asked all the right questions. We signed up for the semi-private sessions but plan on working out way up to private sessions.

Coach Oliver is doing a great job with my son. He looks forward to each session and walks away more confident every week. His skills have improved in his practices and games as Oliver has focused on specific techniques with him in his positions on the field. We are very happy with the coaching he is receiving.
Chuck (CoachUp client)
Coach Oliver was great with my son. He not only worked with my him on training but had my son discuss how he was doing specific moves to understand the why behind the training. He also gave him specific focus areas for him to use during football practice. We will definitely be purchasing more sessions!!!

Coach Oliver is amazing! My son had his first session and he covered drills pertaining to my sons positions, he targeted on everything my son asked that he wanted to work on.

Coach Oliver is a great coach, I was very pleased after the first session, my son absolutely loved it and is excited to meet with him again. I can’t wait to see the progress that I know my son will make working with Oliver.
Angie (CoachUp client)
I highly recommend Coach Oliver! I didn’t really know what to expect for my son, Jacob’s, first session. Coach came very prepared and very timely...greeted us at the door. Coach Oliver worked with Jacob for the entire hour and even went over our initial session. I was very very pleased with his knowledge and appreciated the fact that he pushed my son past his limitations. He did a full assessment with Jacob and corrected each error even in warmups. Jacob warmed up to Coach right away and definitely wants to continue his workouts with him in the football offseason. When we left our session Jacob told me he learned so much that he can’t wait to get better. That same evening, we booked for 10 sessions. You will get a lot from Coach Oliver’s sessions. Highly recommend!!!

As a former scholarship athlete and mom, I recognize Coach Oliver’s talent and dedication. He has an attention to detail, the ability to break down skills, and communicate the right way to do things. My son is 8 years old and Coach Oliver is patient and kind, while still pushing him in a good way. I’m sure that learning to keep going -even when it gets difficult- will be invaluable as he grows up.

Coach Oliver worked with my 11 year old son. He really enjoyed the session and learned techniques he was able to put into action right away. I liked his approach -- first talk about what you and the athlete want to accomplish, then assessing the current skills, and then going through specific drills and teaching to help get there. Coach Oliver is very positive and constructive, I really liked his positive low key (no negativity, screaming or yelling) way of working with a youngster.
My son really enjoyed working with Coach Oliver, and we will continue to work with him in the future!
Lorelle (CoachUp client)
Coach Oliver trained my son for his upcoming football season. He was on time, dependable and my son loved working with him. He gave him the training he needed to improve his fundamentals and take his skills to the next level. He truly showed interest in wanting to help my son achieve his goals and was always positive. The results speak for themselves as my son is s starter half-back and defensive end in a large and competitive school district. We are so pleased with Coach Oliver that he is training our daughter in her vertical jump and we plan to use him again next spring for our son. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for personal training for themselves or their children.
Parker (CoachUp client)

Brendon (CoachUp client)
My son, Brendon really enjoyed working out with Coach Oliver. We will definitely be sticking with coach Oliver. I look forward to seeing how much progress my son will make.
Chrissy (CoachUp client)
Coach Oliver was fantastic at our son's first assessment. He was timely at arrival and worked our son quite hard for the entire hour. He even stayed after for almost 30 minutes talking to us about what he needs to improve on and giving us recruiting suggestions. We look forward to starting weekly sessions with him!
Jessica (CoachUp client)
We have really enjoyed watching Oliver work with Benjamin. He is very good with him, making sure he uses good form and incorporating age appropriate drills and "homework." Benjamin has had lots of fun at his sessions and more importantly, is eager for the next session. We couldn't be any more pleased with our first couple sessions and will be continuing practice with Coach Oliver.
Jake (CoachUp client)
Coach Oliver is doing great with Jake. He understands all aspects of football and is helping Jake succeed.

Michael (CoachUp client)
Coach Oliver is FANTASTIC! My son is 8 years old and going into his 3rd season playing football. Coach Oliver was able to work with the basics he had and give my son new skills/tools to use this season. I highly recommend coach Oliver and look forward to working with him again.
Andrew (CoachUp client)
Coach Oliver gives a great workout and knows a lot of tips to improve technique and athletic performance. He is constructive and works efficiently with your time. I learned a lot from a single session from him.
Stacy (CoachUp client)
I contacted Coach Up seeking help with my son's football technique and speed. We had our evaluation this week, and I was so happy with how he interacted with my child during the session. He was paying close attention to my son’s face as well as his overall technique. Coach Oliver noticed he was flinching during a drill. He put my son at ease, and explained to him he needed to talk to him if they were to have a successful training relationship. Coach Oliver took time out of the evaluation to stretch my son’s hamstring and gave stretches to my son to avoid future injury.
I was aware of some of the area that needed work and Coach Oliver picked those out very quickly. During our time with him, Coach Oliver didn't seem worried about the time and stayed with us until a complete evaluation was obtained even though it took two hours. I especially liked our conversation about the mental preparation needed to become a successful player, he brought up information my son has been aware of and expected to know but never been taught. We are looking forward to working with Coach Oliver in the remaining pre-season and off season.
Darrell (CoachUp client)
After one visit with coach Oliver my son learned some science to running and increasing his speed.I was very impressed with his knowledge and how he thoroughly explained what he was teaching.We will be spending more time with coach Oliver over the next 4 months leading into football.Thanks Coach
John (CoachUp client)
Coach Oliver works with our 3rd and 6th grader whom play basketball and football. Our 6th grader had never had a offensive position but wanted to play QB. After a summer of twice a week sessions with Coach Oliver he tried out and became starting quarterback on his 6th grade team (oyaa). We have also seen drastic changes in our 3rd grader with coordination, dribbling and agility. We would recommend him to anybody that wants to give there child a lil edge in this highly competitive world.
Aaron (CoachUp client)

Todd (CoachUp client)
Oliver spent time hearing about my 7 yr old son's strengths and opportunities and designed a work out to gauge his abilities and to work on improving his opportunities. He was very supportive and nice and made my son relax and get the most from the workout.
I also appreciated Oliver being thorough in making sure my son finished all drills and corrected improper techniques.
I strongly recommend Coach Oliver to parents wanting to strengthen football fundamentals for their sons.
Samuel (CoachUp client)
My son really enjoyed his session with Oliver. The workout was tough but doable and Oliver really encouraged him through it while ensuring good form. The workout that he gave for him to work on at home was a great fit for my son based on the initial session. My son and I both give him a top notch rating and are looking forward to the confidence and strength gained from the work outs!

Coach Oliver seems to be very professional in his approach in working with Jameson, my son. While he is teaches him techniques he also explains to me in full detail why he is taking this approach to working with Jameson. I am anxious to see how Jameson develops over the next few months with Coach Oliver. He seems to really knows what he is doing.
