My goal is to execute high quality drills to enhance players' endurance and strength skills while keeping sessions fun and enjoyable! A typical session consists of:
-Warm-up (functional jog and stretch to prepare the body for maximum output)
-Plyometrics (quick feet exercises to help improve balance, coordination, foot speed, speed of thought)
-Technical work (moderate to high repetitions to improve proper posture and techniques)
-Review (feedback, questions and ideas to improve future sessions)

Coach Uriah is great! like all the other reviews state he builds confidence in the kids and they enjoy it. He has a special way of getting the kids focused and completing the goal at hand. My son is 5 years old and I can't wait to see where he will be after attending a lot more sessions.

Joel (CoachUp client)
Coach Uriah is the best! I am preparing my 14 year old daughter who has been playing rec soccer for college scholarships. In each session, he was able to motivate her with supportive, informative statements regarding taking her game to the next level. During his sessions, he effectively points out what went well, specific areas where she needed improvement and always ended each session with positive and supportive comments.
Ted (CoachUp client)

Coach Uriah’s approach to training and instilling confidence in his players is top notch ! After one session with my son I saw significant improvement in his skills overall and his confidence.

Barry (CoachUp client)
Coach Uriah is a great coach. My 12 year old son took an immediate liking to him. Not only due to his obvious skills but also due to his very outgoing personality. My son really benefited from working with Uriah regarding his skills and his confidence when playing. I look forward to more sessions.
Montarious (CoachUp client)
Excellent Coach. After only 5 minutes, no really, after 5 minutes I saw my daughter master a soccer skill that I have tried to teach her for weeks. Before meeting with coach Uriah, I mentioned that my daughter soccer skills were very raw and that he would need to be patient with her. As promised, coach Uriah delivered! During the 45 minutes working with my daughter he exercised tremendous patience and demonstrated a unique style in connecting with my daughter so that she trusted him.
Coach Uriah constantly changed his method of teaching when my daughter experienced difficulty performing a drill. Simply stated, he was flexible and adjusted to my daughter skills set. This was the most impressive part of the session.
I live in Woodbridge and met him in Stafford VA but the drive was well worth it. I asked my daughter in the car how did you like the session. Her response "daddy it was fun and interesting" This sealed the deal for me, I am booking another session ASAP!
Meador (CoachUp client)
Coach Uriah was an amazing coach! He was quick to identify areas for improvement in a positive way and then clearly demonstrated proper technique. He gave ongoing encouragement and made practice fun! He was about positive skill building, which improved not just my daughter's technical skill, but her confidence in her skill.
We would highly recommend Uriah!
Andrew (CoachUp client)
Coach Uriah pushes and motivates during the drills and exercises he has you do. I enjoyed working with him in his first session and immediately purchased more sessions after working with him.
Scott (CoachUp client)
Coach Uriah is a outstanding Coach. He takes the time to explain each drill, then he shows the player how to carry out the drill before he has them perform it. As the player performs the drill he'll ask for their input to ensure they understand what they are doing, be it right or wrong.

Sabrina (CoachUp client)
Coach Uriah is awesome. Very patient and straight to the point when our 7 year old.
Paying close attention I was able to observe coaches techniques, skills and game. Very impressed with his practice structure. Highly recommend!
Markino (CoachUp client)
Coach Uriah demonstrated a great work ethic while creating a friendly and fun environment in which to train my son. He was responsive to my son's cues when he needed an extra rest. My son enjoyed his initial training and liked Coach Uriah's positive encouragement. He stated, "I like that Coach Uriah didn't give up on me and kept pushing me to try." One can tell Coach Uriah enjoys helping athletes sharpen their skills. If you're in need of individual training Coach Uriah is a must try.
Quintina (CoachUp client)
Coach Uriah was great! During our initial session Coach Uriah taught my daughter techniques she hadn't learned her 5 years of playing soccer. He was very attentive and challenged her to work harder to maximize her potential. I look forward to working with Coach Uriah to build on my daughter's skills and make her a major competitor on the soccer field.
Tracey (CoachUp client)
Coach Uriah was everything that I hoped he would be and more! Hayden was super nervous on the way there, but Coach Uriah put her at ease immediately. It was like he had coached her forever! He kept her active and engaged the entire session. Hayden can't wait to train with him again so we booked an 8 session package as soon as we got home. I would highly recommend him and look forward to watching her progress over the summer.
Nigel (CoachUp client)
My son and I had an excellent time meeting and training with Uriah. He was focused on making sure my son enjoyed himself. Coach Uriah showed great patience, very knowledgeable and we're excited to continue working with Uriah's guidance! The many drills he used my son enjoyed and has been practicing on them nonstop.
Pamela (CoachUp client)
Coach Uriah was incredible! In one session, my daughter's skills and technique improved greatly. He was so patient with her and really good at making her feel comfortable. I loved that Coach Uriah would give her instruction as a coach and because is an active footballer himself, was able to also show her what personally helped him master the skill as a player. He was great at balancing the session with a mix of drills that pushed her out of her comfort zone and drills where she is currently more skillful so her confidence stayed up. I can't say enough good things about Coach Uriah. I'm not exaggerating when I say I was CONSTANTLY texting my husband about how impressed I was with his instruction. My daughter is super excited for her next session. I would recommend Coach Uriah to anyone!
Chris (CoachUp client)
My daughter really enjoyed her first session with Coach Uriah and is looking forward to her second. He was able to challenge her physically and mentally.
Patty (CoachUp client)
Very impressed! Coach Uriah is the real deal!!! My son is looking forward to many more sessions with Coach Uriah. He takes time to correct mistakes and encourages the player with a positive attitude. He’s a great coach and mentor! Thank you Coach Uriah!
Jimmy (CoachUp client)
Coach Uriah did a great job showing my 7 year old some basic soccer skills. He was very attentive and patient with him and my son enjoyed the session very much.
Jake (CoachUp client)
Coach Uriah is amazing, very down to earth and really connects with his players. My personal experience with him was great, and he is very forgoing about helping you reach your goals and pushing you to be the best version of yourself. I highly recommend looking into booking a session with him because of his knowledge of the game and his personal time playing it as well.
Elicia (CoachUp client)

Coach Uriah came prepared and ready to train my son. He had great agility and passing drills that were challenging, but fun. My son really enjoyed his training session... .."It was awesome". We are definitely planning to have more training sessions with Coach Uriah.
Melissa (CoachUp client)
Just had our first session with Coach Uriah, and as a parent, I was immediately impressed with his positive energy and the instant connection he made with my son! Ace left out of there pretty excited about his future sessions with Uriah and also with a new confidence of feeling he'll be able to get ready for the upcoming soccer season. I left out of there feeling like my son may have a new mentor.
Jorge (CoachUp client)
My 8 year old son has been training with Coach Uriah and I have to say he is very professional and his training is better then what my son is getting in his travel league. It is faster and has him going the entire hour. I will continue to have coach Uriah train my son to continue his development! I would highly recommend coach Uriah for anyone looking to have an elite training session.
Bernadette (CoachUp client)

Kristie (CoachUp client)
After just one session my son felt a comfort with Coach Uriah that he sometimes never feels in an entire season. He had my son doing drills that I am positive are going to produce quick and lasting results and helped make conditioning fun. He even gave us an opportunity to condition with them. We definitely picked the right coach and can't wait until the next session!
James (CoachUp client)
Coach B, I want to thank you again for your time. I was not sure what to expect using Coach-Up. I feel you bring a great credit the organization. My daughter Emma still speaks of you in high regard and when her coach asks her where she learn her new techniques she proudly says " Coach B " . I would highly recommend Coach Uriah to any one, he was patient with my daughter and took the time to ask questions for a better understanding of her level of soccer skills which in turn impressed me and made for a very fun and productive session. We look forward to booking Coach B again.

Coach Uriah taught me so much in one session. I've never played soccer besides at school and I already learned how to kick the ball the correct way and how to pass the ball. Highly recommend him.
