Client Reviews

Coach Zap has been doing an excellent job with Braeden. He is able to breakdown the fundamentals of receiving and also push him to do it correctly. Coach also takes the time to answer Braeden’s questions when he doesn’t understand certain elements. We will be looking to partner with coach in the future if he is available.

A lot of patience with my kid

Coach Zap was great with our son! He was patient and encouraging. He really took the time to figure out where my son needs improve to better his running time. Looking forward to our next session!

Just started our 3rd session w Coach Zap. My son is excited about every practice session, and is learning something new every week. He is only 8, and Coach Z is able to convey what he is expecting of him in a very easy and supportive way. Definitely locking up more sessions for the foreseeable future.

Coach is an excellent instructor and motivational resource!!!! His coaching style seems to be adaptive to each of his athletes and I absolutely love his attention to detail with my daughter. Keep up the awesome work Coach Zap!!!!

Coach Zap was great - my son keeps asking for more sessions (we just have to find a weekend that works for our schedule). Looking forward to more sessions.

Amazing coach!!! 10/10 Coach Z has taught me things I’ve never learned in my 2 years of running.

We just had our first session with coach Zap. In this session the coach was able to define both practical and fundamental work to improve my daughter's athletic performance in Long Jump. This definitely helped build her confidence this week as she worked towards implementing what she learned and was able to qualify for the Junior Olympics. We will be signing up for her next session soon

Coach Zap does a great job of figuring out what works for his athletes. Athletes are not built the same physically and emotionally. He was able to meet my child in the middle and get them to get to new PR quickly. This led to new confidence and trust. Coach Zap kept things positive and constructive even when it appeared the athlete was unreachable. You can tell he connects and cares about his athletes. I have a big respect for Zap.

We could not have found a more perfect coach for our son to work with. The moment he stepped on the field, Coach Zap noticed his weaknesses and what he needed to work on. We have seen such an improvement in our sons skills and look forward to continue training with him. Zap is extremely knowledgeable and an amazing trainer. We couldn't be more happy.

I appreciate the coach’s flexibility and his desire to personalize my daughter's sessions to fit her needs.

So knowledgeable. Absolutely knows what he’s taking about. And sees down to the smallest detail. We had a great coaching session. Highly recommend Coach Hawkins.

Great coach, my son is driven even more after his session with coachZap is great with the teachings of footwork etc!!

Excellent session and coaching! Coach Zap took the time to explain each stage of the process and worked through multiple drills with my athlete.

Excellent training session with Coach Zap! Love how he identified weaknesses and put together a plan on how to attack it in the moment.

Coach Zap is very encouraging and knowledgeable. He gives tips on things to do at home to continue to improve!!

Great 1st session. He has all the equipment and knowledge needed to push to the next level. We could tell early on in the session that Zap was experienced. He handled our group of 5 easily: maintained their focus, worked on their individual needs, and made sure they pushed themselves.

I could honestly see some changes after just one session. We will be returning for sure. I would recommend that anyone who wants to be great come try a session with Zap.

Excellent coach! My daughter feels very comfortable with him and I’ve seen the difference with just one session. We look forward to continuing with coach Hawkins. I know my daughter will be successful with his guidance.

Top of the line trainer for all ages the best in the area would recommend Coach Zap to anyone.

My son recently began workouts with Coach Zap, and we could not be more happy. Excellent instruction and communication. Looking forward to continuing the coaching sessions with Coach Zap.

Coach Zap was exactly what we were looking for! I had spent hours researching Coaches and talked with several before trying out Coach Zap. We only booked one session to see if it was going to be a good fit. He was fantastic. Excited we found him and looking forward to more sessions!

Coach Zephaniah was terrific in helping my son with a track overview in our first session! We look forward to working with him more in the future!

Great coach! Knows what he’s talking about. Will book more sessions

Outstanding initial session with Coach Zep. My son is really excited to continue working with him in future training sessions.

Our son has learned a lot and really enjoyed working with Coach Zeph so far!!

He is very knowledgeable and a overall great coach. In just 2 sessions he has pushed my daughter beyond her limits and she loves it. If you or your child is looking to get better in track, this is the guy to see. We will be continuing our sessions with coach Zephaniah. Thanks!

Coach Zephaniah is exceptional. Austin has met with him twice and he has walked away both times with valuable tips on how to improve his skills. Couldn't be happier with Coach Zephaniah!

Excellent motivator and very knowledgeable. My Daughter really enjoyed her session and learned many things. She looks forward to scheduling her next session.

Son was very comfortable with Coach Zep!

Coach Hawkins is great at what does. My daughter has only had one session and she can’t wait until the next. He is really helping her bring out her best potential on the field. Thank you

Coach Hawkins was on time I'm ready to train. I was very impressed with the level Of knowledge and Professionalism . The session was well worth it! My daughter is looking forward to the next session.

Coach Z was great with my son. He understands how to train kids and how to get the most out of them. Coach Z, is good with assessing kids to determine how he needs to train them. I booked two sessions and have noticed the difference already.

My son Braiden didn't stop talking about his training all night. He messaged a bunch of his friends saying how much he learned in one session. He was nervous prior to going and then once we were there, he didn't want to leave. We are looking forward to our next session! Great coaching for our 9 yr old.

Coach Hawkins was awesome! He is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. After just one session, our son left with some great techniques and tools. We are looking forward to more sessions and adding more tools to his arsenal. You won't be disappointed!

Coach Zephaniah was great to work with. The first session made me see things in a whole new light. I can't wait to work with him again.

My son is an accomplished soccer player that is making the transition to football in high school. He is starting from ground zero in terms of football skills and game understanding. His first session with Coach Zap was fantastic! They jumped right in to defensive back drills and concepts that hooked my son right away. We already signed up for three more lessons. We hope this is the start of a long and successful relationship!

Had a great workout session! Constant positivity does the workouts with you, great motivational support, and amazing flexibility for your personal schedule Definitely recommend booking as a coach

One session in with Coach Hawkins and my daughter learned more than she had all season. He broke every event down step by step!!

(no details provided)

Coach Zap is patient making sure your athlete understands and executes at their level but pushes them to the next level through his coaching. He connected with my daughter and help build her confidence at her skill level.

Coach Zephaniah was on point. His ability to connect with my son and push him on the first session was what I was looking for in the initial assessment. His demeanor, respectful interaction and experience met my expectations.

Awesome trainer, amazing to watch my son transform. Highly recommend Coach Zep!

(no details provided)

Coach Zephaniah was engaging and by the middle of the session I felt like my son really connected with him. It wasn't just about throwing the football but about the fundaments. Next year I will start earlier as I think getting in front of this would really help him even more.

It's was a great secession. Very patient. My grandson had a great time. Would like to set up next secession

After just one training session my daughter already shows a better throwing technique and understanding of the mechanics of the sport. I am impressed and I know she enjoyed her session too. I will definitely be booking more sessions soon!

Excellent coach very good at what he does can't wait till my sons next session he knew exactly what the problem was and started addressing it

(no details provided)

Coach Zephaniah is knowledgeable and helped my son with technical improvements to help his jump. He worked with our schedule and took time to evaluate his skill level and needs.

Great coach, wish we had more time in Charlotte to learn from this knowledgeable professional. Thanks Coach Up.

Coach Hawkins was great and my son loved working with him. Can't wait until the next session

Per my son Cameron:"Coach Hawkins is an awesome coach and is very knowledgeable ".
We are looking forward to booking our next sessions very soon. I found what Coach Hawkins had to teach my son to be very valuable to his transition from CB to QB.
Thanks Coach Hawkins! We will see you again soon!
