Andra (CoachUp client)

Joscelyn (CoachUp client)
My daughter (17 year old rising Senior) received training from Coach Billy. This is a review from both myself (parent) and my daughter. Coach Billy, with his extensive background and experience can really identify in just a short period of time, what needs to be emphasized for the athlete to be better. He builds a quick and excellent rapport with both parent and athlete. He is positive, optimistic and a realist. He tells it straight and provides the needed instruction by adapting to what he sees during training. He has a well structured lesson plan and provides immediate feedback to assist the growth of the player. I recommend his training to anyone that seeks to better their game both by physical skill and soccer IQ. Thanks Coach!
Chris (CoachUp client)
He really knows how to connect with kids and pinpoint how to get the best out of them. He keeps them engaged and offers “homework” to help reinforce the practice.

Dear Bill, When I told Robert this morning that you would no longer be coaching his team he burst into tears and began sobbing uncontrollably. He was distraught. He was quick to point out that the team was formed for the kids and as far as he knew, the kids all loved you, they were having fun and they were learning soccer...I'm sure Robert's reaction was pretty typical of all the boys. It's obvious that you put your heart and soul into this team...thanks for all you have done for Robert...take care and expect a call from us mid-July after our vacation.
