Rachel’s Testimonials
Mike M. daughter: Emily (18 years old)
My daughter , Emily, has been working with Rachel Wood for several months now. Emily comes home from her sessions with Rachel energized. Her sessions are fun but tough. She definitely understands my kiddo and pushes her to be the best she can be. As important, if not more important, is the strong female role model Rachel has become for my daughter. Rachel has connected with her on a different level. They have become friends. Now , not only is Emily a better soccer player, she is much more confident on AND off the pitch. As a parent, that's the best benefit thus far working with Rachel We have the best of both worlds. Terrific coach and an outstanding role model and person.
Barry P. daughter: Maddie (10 years old)
After only a few sessions, Coach Rachel has quickly become a valuable part of our daughter's training routine. Her proactive communication style made scheduling a breeze. Her friendly & upbeat demeanor won our daughter over instantly. She quickly assessed our daughter's skill-level and crafted a routine that was tailored to her strengths & weaknesses; incorporating the things that we asked her to focus on in a way that was both challenging and fun. In a one-hour session, our daughter is getting more touches on the ball and more variety in how those touches are accumulated than she would normally gain during an entire week of team-training. Playing for club teams and attending camps in a somewhat male-dominated coaching landscape has presented our daughter with very few in-sport female role models. This is an area where Rachel's background and the way that she employs it in her coaching adds a lot of value for us. Our daughter has big soccer dreams and working with someone like Rachel affords her a real-world example of how her goals might be achievable through hard work and persistence. Rachel manages to do all of this while keeping the focus on having fun and working hard. We couldn't be happier so far!
Adam A. daughter Emily (14 years old)
Coach Rachel is not only a fantastic, talented, and professional soccer coach, but she is an outstanding role model and positive influence for my 14 year old daughter. My daughter has had multiple 1:1 sessions with Rachel and without a doubt there is improved ball skills and soccer smarts, but maybe even more importantly, my daughters confidence grows after every session. I highly recommend Rachel as a soccer coach.
Heather Z. daughter Madison (8 years old)
My 8 year old daughter had her first session with Coach Rachel today, and it was amazing!! She was supportive, fun, kind, and patient which is not always easy when coaching an 8 year old! Coach Rachel challenged her, explained what she wanted her to do, demonstrated it for her if she needed it, and pushed her to keep trying even if it was difficult! It was amazing to see the rapport she built with our daughter in only 60 minutes! The time flew by, and our daughter did not want to leave when it was over! We can not wait for our next session with Coach Rachel!
Carlton’s Testimonials
Kate H. player (15 years old)
Coach Carlton gave me an amazing session! He was engaging, constructive, and positive. I worked on new techniques with his creative drills, and got the most out of the session. He chatted in between drills and was kind and fun but didn’t compromise our time to play soccer! He coached me on technique while providing examples and ideas about how to apply what we were doing to a game. He also worked with me on my specific position. I would definitely recommend Carlton for anyone looking for a fun and hardworking session with a great coach!
Ric C. daughter Tatiana (11 years old)
My 11-year old daughter Tatiana has been working with Carlton for 1:1 soccer skills coaching for last couple months and we plan to continue! Carlton has worked with Tatiana on the following skills areas: shooting, dribbling, footwork with cones, passing, heading, juggling and other drills for ball control. Tatiana has enjoyed working with Carlton since their first practice. She describes him as funny, happy, kind and caring. She says he challenges her but still makes her feel special. We highly recommend Carlton as a private soccer coach.
