Coach Shay is excellent! My daughter leaves her GK sessions saying how beneficial they are. Shay excels in explaining what she wants to see and how to achieve it. The one on one training has been just what she needs!

My daughter really enjoyed her and can't wait to train again .

This was our first session with Coach Shay. The session was well thought out with great drills. My daughter enjoyed the drills and the Coach. She was positive and encouraging the entire time. We will do another session soon.

Coach Shay assessed both what my daughter wanted to work on and what she needed to work on, and crafted a training sessions to help her get prepared for high school tryouts. My daughter is continuing to do some of the drills on her own. I think it will be time and money well-spent.

My daughter was very happy after her first session with Coach Shay. She was fast to respond to our request for an initial session and flexible on locations. We very much look forward to continuing our work with her.

Solid and no-nonsense approach to coaching. Daughter loved it and we have now signed up for more sessions!

If I could give more stars I would!
We had one session for our 8 year old daughter and she came home and practiced exactly what Coach Shay taught her.
She remembered exactly what Coach Shay told her to practice and that is because she modeled the skill, practiced the skill and then asked our daughter to explain what she learned. Coaching at it’s best! We are incredibly impressed with her and thankful we found her on this site!

She is a great coach, I liked how she incorporated fitness into most of my drills and also helped with my shooting form. Look forward to working with her in the future.

Coach Shay did a great job for our son! She is punctual, professional and friendly. Our son said that the coaching was challenging, informational and exciting. He enjoyed Coach Shay's positivity and directions. He said that her feedback was very helpful and allowed him to focus on the areas that he needed improvement on. We will defiantly book Coach Shay for more sessions.

She is really energetic and enthusiastic which makes drilling/practicing a lot of fun. My son really enjoys working out with her!

Coach Shay is excellent. She is ready to go at the beginning of the session with items planned to improve my daughter's skill set. The sessions are challenging but my daughter enjoys the training.

Thanks!

Coach Shay was knowledgable, fun and very approachable. The lesson was well structured and my daughter had a great time while working hard and being challenged. We are scheduled for more sessions!

Coach Shay was wonderful. She truly challenged our daughter and pushed her to improve her speed, skills, accuracy, and confidence. She was involved in the entire lesson and had her whole lesson planned out prior to the start. We look forward to future lessons with her.

Very reliable; gives wonderful advice; plans training sessions well; overall great experience.
