“It is crazy to think my son went from almost giving up on soccer to playing for the U-14 US Men's National Team in a span of 2 years”
My son started training a couple of years ago. When we started he was on the verge of wanting to quit soccer and play football. He has helped him improve on many levels as a player and an individual. He is very organized and is ready and setup when my son arrives to train. He is very skillful and focuses on areas you ask him to concentrate on. In the last year my sons game has grown tremendously and he has made the US National team for his age group (U-14). It is crazy to think my son went from almost giving up on soccer to playing for the US Men's National Team in a span of 2 years. He has had an amazing experience playing with the best talent in the nation, making the timbers academy and traveling the country and gaining exposure to coaches and scouts all around the world. I would highly recommend coach as a mentor and person!

“constant feedback and encouragement”
Our 9 year old really enjoyed working with Coach. His sessions are a mix of technical drills and games that are able to keep our son engaged. His constant feedback and encouragement during and after the drills helps our son to learn from mistakes and motivates him to try hard during each rep. We like the way he gives importance in developing my son's weaker foot, that I think is essential at this age. In the short time working with him, my son's passing off his left foot has noticeably improved. All in all I would recommend to anyone wanting private coaching for their young child.

“mix of having fun while also working hard”
My daughter and son have really enjoyed training with Coach! His sessions are a great mix of having fun while also working hard. He does a great job of assessing where the player is and tailoring the training to how to help them improve. We will definitely be doing more training sessions.

“brought my kids love for the game back”
My son plays competitive U12 with a local club.He was going through a rough patch and his confidence was at an all time low. I was looking for someone new who could evaluate challenge and work with him. Immediately after the first session there was a big difference in my sons attitude and self confidence. The encouragement during practice, post session feedbacks , the practice sessions and drills that he individualized based on the trainee’s level He has really brought my kids love for the game back along with a boost in his self confidence. Thank you.

“fundamentally sound; technically/
physically demanding”
We have had several several sessions for both of our boys (11 & 7 years old), and he did a great job assessing their skills, and tailoring sessions to their current skill levels. The sessions are fundamentally sound; technically/physically demanding (forces them to stretch their skills); and the lessons learned transition well to team practice, and live games. Another thing that we really appreciate are the session summary emails that coach provides following each practice.

“our boys really like and respect him”
We are very happy to have coach train our our boys’. He is great with our boys and they really like and respect him. He always comes prepared and I feel like they get so much out of each and every session with him.

“He was able to pinpoint weaknesses”
Coach is outstanding! He is knowledgable, positive, and engaging. He is always prepared before the session starts which allows my daughter to jump right into drills after warming up. He was able to pinpoint weaknesses and strengths and quickly determine which drills and skill practices would work best for my 9 year old daughter. He works the drills with her and would provide positive constructive feedback each time. My daughter looks forward to her next session.

This is our second summer with coach. Our son's skills have improved and developed with his knowledge and coaching. We are pleased with his communication with us, follow up, professionalism, and the coaching with our son. He has given our son the skills to play and more importantly, the confidence to compete. We will continue to turn to him for future soccer skills and development. We highly recommend this one-on-one coaching experience when looking to improve your athlete's soccer skills and confidence.

“Don’t hesitate to try, you will not be disappointed”
My son is 16 now and has been training with private coaches since he was 6.5. So I can tell whether a coach is good. I was honest with coach and told him that I want to try him for a session to check if he’s got what I was looking for and in the middle of the session I was like I found the coach I was looking for. He has the skills to coach on 1:1. The drills he was having my son do were exactly what I expected to get him to improve his speed, core, foot skills, strength…etc. He even offered to watch my son’s game and provided his assessment so he can work with him to improve his performance on the field. His assessment was exactly what I thought and accurate. So I think, coach Trent is a fine coach who has many skills that can help any player to get to the next level. I highly recommend him. Don’t hesitate to try him, you will not be disappointed.

“Catered to my Son’s Needs”
Our son starts HS this year and is hoping to make the JV team. As such, we have focused our resources on several different coaches to sharpen his skills (agility, running technique, strength and endurance, etc.) After all the coaches our son has seen, he is the FIRST he's asked to go back to. Our son plays left back and coach focuses on defense when most coaches cater mostly to those who are scoring goals. We would definitely recommend him to other defensive minded soccer students. Thanks!

First off coach is a pleasure to be around and appreciate his work ethic and ability to motivate our son. He challenges him with each workout and makes him compete against himself with timed drills. Making practice fun yet competitive. Also his knowledges provides insight on ball striking and gain g the ability to be accurate when striking for a goal. All said money well spent and we enjoy every workout and feel better about soccer then when we got there. Thank you!

“The best part is that not only are my boys sharpening their skills, but they enjoy it and are having fun”
Coach is working with two of my sons and he's been great. He's very responsive, great at communication and coordination of trainings and we will continue to use him this winter. The best part is that not only are my boys sharpening their skills, but they enjoy it and are having fun.
