The training session with Coach Wesley was great. As someone who hasn’t played the sport in a while, his guidance and structure of the session made it really easy to get back into it. We were able to cover footwork, agility, and skills in our session. If you’re looking for someone who knows what they are doing beyond just the basics, Coach Wesley is the one to go to.

Good coach

The training session was very productive. I felt like all the drills we did helped me.

Coach Wesley was excellent with my son.

My son enjoyed the training and playing tips from Coach Wesley! Coach Wesley is a great coach! I highly recommend him. My son went on to become a top player and receive a soccer scholarship to play in college! Thank you Coach Wesley!

Coach Wesley did a wonderful job working with my son today. He kept things moving and motivating. My son said after - “I really want to do more training sessions with Coach Wes.” So I think that says it all. 😊

My son enjoyed his lesson and learned some new skills. He is excited to come back for more coaching with Wesley.

Coach Wesley's training sessions have been an integral part of my daughters development. He has continued to reinforce core skills while improving areas that needed improvement. We have seen the hard work transfer to the playing field and she looks forward to her sessions every week!!

Coach Wesley did a great job coaching my son and I would recommend him to anybody looking for a soccer coach.

Very good coach and my son likes the sessions very much

Coach Wesley was great with my 9yo daughter. He was patient, but was able to push her along to help her develop both her skills and her confidence. While he typically works with older, more advanced kids, he is also really good with younger beginners.

Coach Wesley is an excellent trainer. My Son Marcus has been playing soccer for a long time (age 6) and trying to play college soccer. My son learn new techniques and what it takes to play college soccer. If your son is trying to play college soccer, let Coach Wesley fine tune their skills.

Great first session with Coach Wesley. Will book again.

Very good coach.

My daughter has only done one session, but she said she liked the work out. I'll be able to give a better review once we've done more lessons.

My son worked with Coach Wesley for several sessions. Each session was focused and organized. Coach Wesley was very positive and encouraging. My son had an excellent experience and we both recommend Coach Wesley to other young soccer players!

Dedicated coach who tailors the training to individual needs very well.

Very good at identifying strengths and oppurtunities for improvement.

Coach Wesley demonstrated all of the coaching skills I was looking for with my daughter. He did some great drills with her and his coaching advise was targeted and not overwhelming. Great focus on key fundamentals

Great coach. Will look forward to future sessions with Wesley.

So far we are very pleased with Coach Wesley. Looking forward to more training.

My daughter loved her lesson with Wesley

My son said he learned more in one session than he has learned in four years of playing team soccer. Also did a lot to boost his confidence- thank you!

Coach Wesley was very professional and quickly identified the areas my son needed to improve on while also acknowledging his strengths. He was kind enough to allow us to schedule our sessions closer to us which most other coaches were not able to do. His communication with my son was easy, respectful, and effective. He tailored the session to my son's position and gave him tips to stay aware of and practice on. I was very pleased with their session and am looking forward to their next session.

Excellent Coach. Really has passion for the game and focuses on a players weaknes while improving their strengths at the same time.

Phenomenal experience! Coach Wesley was punctual and well-prepared for the session with our 13-year old daughter. He is extremely knowledgeable and personable and established an immediate rapport with my hubby & daughter. Our daughter indicated that the session was very helpful and that she really appreciated Wesley's teaching style: patient and uses positive reinforcement vs. making her feel badly for mistakes. Highly recommended!

Coach Wesley was great with our shy 9 year old. We only had one session but she wants a lot more.

Coach Wesley is a great coach. He knows the skills and also how to teach it, especially to younger kids who have very limited attention span. I've seen such great improvement!

Coach Wesley is fantastic! He motivates, teaches and encourages the kids to work hard while having a great time. We are so appreciative to have him as our coach!

Coach Wesley always tailors each session to my daughters needs. He teaches foot work strategic playing.

He was awesome

While this was just the first session it is clear that Coach Wesley connected with the group and they boys loved their training session. Looking forward to next week's and beyond.

Coach Wes is a great motivator for my son. He was able to asses his current skill level and focus sessions on his deficits. We will continue to work with him. Great coach.

New to town and Coach Wesley was very flexible with time and location. His sessions were great to keep my daughter's skills and fitness sharp during downtime.

My daughter always comes away with a little more confidence after working with Coach Wesley. She really enjoys her time working with him.

Coach Wesley was very knowledgeable and made their first session enjoyable and informative. They both enjoyed the session and are looking forward to the next one.

Working out Coach Wes was great. He is very patient when it comes to people learning new skill. I had awesome lesson, and I am looking forward to my next session.

Keeper training with Coach Wesley exceeded my expectations! He is a very organized and technical trainer who easily understands your needs and works according to your expectations. I can only wish I had more time to train with him again.

Coach Wesley is an excellent instructor. After trying 2 sessions with him, we are very please with his approach, philosophy, and methodology to instruction. His overall experience and insight as a player makes him a perfect choice for players with potential but limited/developing soccer acuity.

Coach Wesley helped me work on my weaknesses, and gave great tips.

Coach Wesley is a great coach and confidence builder for my 11 year old daughter. After she leaves his training sessions she is excited to try what she learned in a game. Her corner kicks have improved and her striking abilities are on point. We will continue using Wesley for his talents and for being mentor and role model for my daughter. Thanks Coach Wesley!

A real pleasure to work with and my daughter really enjoyed working with coach Wesley. Coach was very accommodating with schedule.

Happy birthday

Coach Wesley has a great demeanor that encourage a players to be their best while bringing a wealth of knowledge.

Coach Wesley went out of his way to meet us at a different location. He came with a plan that focused on our goals requested for our daughter. He gave clear instructions and encouraging reinforcement with each drill as each drill built on itself. He was a teacher with great knowledge and skill in the world of futbol he never came across as a dictator. He treated our daughter with professionalism and respect that was age appropriate. As soon as our daughter approached us after the session was completed before leaving the field she stated, "I like him and I want to continue to do private training with Coach Wesley". Thank you Coach Wesley for a Great training session. If you are looking for a great session Coach Wesley is the one!

Not sure if my last review went through? We rate Wesley, 5 stars! He is terrific with my son, combining his skill and knowledge as a coach. We will continue with Wesley and I highly recommend him.

My son and I were both very impressed with the coaching techniques and professionalism of coach Wes. He had great drills and focused on mastering the basics. We look forward to our next session!

Harrison really enjoyed his first session. He said he learned some new techniques not taught by his current coach. We are looking forward to the Summer with coach Wesley.

He makes a great first impression. My son really enjoyed the 1st session and is eager for more. From my perspective, it felt as though this is type of training that one can not get in a large group setting.

Great coach, really knows what he's doing and makes it fun for the kids and has really made a difference in my nephew's ability to play soccer. Just a great coach and great person. Thanks coach Wesley,

He was great with my daughter. Looking forward to another session .

My son has been training with coach Wes for about two months now, and we could not have picked a better trainer. We have seen a huge difference in his speed endurance agility and ball movement
Coach Wes had done an excellent job with our son and I would highly recommend him, His knowledge of soccer combined with his knowledge of exercise has taken my son to another level
At 12 years old playing classic 1 it was time for a personal trainer, thanks for everything coach

First session was excellent looking forward to more.

Update: We've been working with Coach Wesley for about 4 months now and couldn't be happier. He is a fantastic coach, always on time and provides great feedback... our son really benefits from his time with him. Highly recommend. Original Review: Our session with Coach Wesley was excellent. Our son really clicked with him and he was very intuitive about the areas that our son needs to improve in. We will definitely work with Wesley again. Highly recommend.

First training session with Coach Wesley was excellent. He was motivating, encouraging, and challenging. A great workout for my 10th grade son (striker) with a ton of touches, personal feedback, and great advice. Coach Wesley was well prepared and kept things moving every minute. We have already rebooked!

Wesley was great.... answered all our questions and took the time to work with us in every step to make sure we excelled our kicking techniques.

Great sessions with Coach Wesley. Well worth the investment. His knowledge of soccer combined with his knowledge of exercise science are definitely beneficial in helping my son increase his skill level.

Great session today. Coach kept my son engaged and was very encouraging.

The Dolphins (4-6, 1-0 A-Sun) ended its two-game losing streak defeating USC Upstate Friday on the road 3-2. Jacksonville is led by sophomore Wesley Lartey who has three goals on the season including one game-winning goal.
Thank you for being my trainer!!! Have fun at the game!!
One of Wesley's greatest strengths is his intuitive ability to know just what I need on any given day- whether it is stretching of sore muscles, pushing forward on weights, help with diet, or just encouragement. Wesley is able to make on the spot adjustments based on how I am responding... He asks questions and listens. He sends texts during the week to encourage me. Wesley really cares about his clients wellness and wellbeing.
It was a good road win," said JU head coach Mike Johnson. "I liked how we came into a hostile environment and left with a victory. It was nice to have Wesley come off the bench to contribute for our team. Hopefully, we can get continue to play well on the road and get more wins.
