Testimonials

  • Thank you for your efforts with the kids. Garrett, after having expressed some initial apprehension and reluctance, had a great time and learned a great deal. Your knowledge is evident and your enthusiasm contagious. Having someone provide keeper training who both knows the game and has a passion for the position is great for the kids and the SE program

· Ryan really enjoyed your goalkeeper clinic through WFFSC. He did another clinic through Star Goalie Academy and said that he likes yours a lot more....so, there you have it from a ten year old!

  • Leon's contact and impact with my two goalies has been a very positive thing. Both girls (and parents) are very pleased with the help Leon is/has given/provided. Based on what I have seen by their improvement in a very short time, the girls have really bought into the training. I again say that it has been a very positive impact on my girls.

  • Hi Leon, We just want to thank you for all you have done for our children. It's fun to see their excitement when they come home. We would love to have both the children doing the summer goalie camp. Thank you again for all you taught them.

· I wanted to thank you for taking the time to spend with the players and share your knowledge and encouragement with them. One of the biggest obstacles I feel that Stephen has with goalkeeping is his mental attitude about the position. In his mind, if he is not a so called “field player”, he is not in a position of importance. Everyone has tried to stress the importance of the goalie position to him and he feels that you stand there for 95% of the game and make an occasional save. I love how you are teaching the kids that there are many ways to be more involved with the game and goalkeepers are in fact a very special part of the game. He has always played fullback in the past and has sort of become a goalie by default. I think he does a pretty good job and his team seems to like him in the goal and have confidence in him and hopefully he will eventually realize how important he is to his team. Traci forwarded your match analysis to us and I would like to thank you again for all the time you are spending with the players. If you have any questions, comments or need to get in touch with us please feel free to e-mail us any time. Thank you again.

Brandon played tremendously well and Bill and I wanted to thank you for the

help you have given him so far. We could hear him so much more out on the

field, his agressiveness has come along way since the few sessions spent

with you. We can't thank you enough for the effort put forth with Brandon.

 

Cameron, had a few awesome saves that you would be extremely proud of....I

have never heard him yell as loud as he did this weekend.......direct the

team so well for setting up his players in corner kicks. Cameron has a long

way to go with you as he is still young but we have seen such improvement in

the boys with your guidance that we look forward to a long term relationship

with you in the GOAL!!!

Leon,

Kiernan had a great fall season, as a freshman she was moved into the varsity keeper position in the 4th week of the season, and steadily improved.  She capped her last regular season match with a clean sheet, and held the team we played in the tournament scoreless with over 15 shots on goal leading us to the championship.  Your guidance in the spring & summer helped her So much.

Leon,
We did get great feedback and I am VERY happy with the turnout.  
VERY well received, and of course something I would like to plan on continuing for the Spring, somehow.

Hi Leon,

Too bad you have to go to LA!!!!! 

 

Just wanted to let you know that it was great to see you at Gabi's game on Sunday.  I asked her how that went and she had great feedback.  She especially appreciated having you warm her up. She played well and all your training with her through out the winter was clearly evident. Thanks for your great work and effort.

Wow…what a wonderful program, Leon.   If Rachel was a little older, I would definitely seek this mentoring program out.    Kudos …it looks fantastic!

Thanks for making a difference … although she cannot make Wednesdays too often, what she does learn while with you shows in her keeping on the field. 

All the best,

Hi Leon.  FYI, Jared LOVED the goalie training on the beach!!!!!!

THANKS!!!  Mimi

 

I wish you could have seen our U-13 team play the Oakwood U-12s.  It was Jared v. Mason in the goals and frankly the game was well played by both teams and the goalie play BY BOTH BOYS was the high point of the match. You should be proud of both your students.

Both my wife and I want to thank-you for all that you have done for Michael this season.

Thanks for having Evan in the Goal Keeper clinic Wednesday-Friday.  He had a
great time and really learned a lot.  Hopefully, he can attend another one
soon!

We love his new keeper shirt.

Thanks:
