I wanted to email you personally in order to say thank you for having me at this past Sunday's training session. I learned a lot and truly enjoyed the intensity of the entire session. I'm unable to make it to this weekend's sessions due to a vacation, but I'd love to come to any future sessions that are held.

Ryan totally enjoyed the training session - to quote him: "that guy is as good as Phil (Manchester United academy trainer)!" We would be willing to join any and all future sessions in the Williamsport area. Thanks!

Tyler & Matt both enjoyed themselves. I appreciate all of your time in helping them become better soccer players.

Gavin is loving your lessons! Thank you so much for boosting his confidence! He has a ball on his foot constantly and just earned a spot on the Falcon Futbol Club tournament team. Thanks again, you're awesome!

I wasn’t just being nice to you when I said you ran a good session and I have high standards.

We have been living in Zurich. In fact we just got back from Lisbon, after work and the Benfica Europa League game. Adam, our 13 y.o is playing for a local club here, a feeder system to FC Zurich. I can tell you the soccer environment for us is much less intense, as compared to the days of FC Delco, PA Classics, and US Development Academy and it is quite enjoyable. Every club here has its own decent field or fields and most has a club house so players come and change in the locker room; parents can relax with food and drinks.
It is quite refreshing to see how the game is taught and played here as we watch our youngest son at practices and games. Many of our observations are consistent with what we saw through your program. Keep up the great work John. Let us know when you are in the area the next time you are in Europe.

Clay will be at your training session tomorrow. We are just wondering if you plan to have more sessions this year, here or elsewhere. We would rather see him get more fundamental training instead of playing in the winter league that has been offered.

He enjoys and gets a lot out of your excellent practices/drills.

I value all that you taught him. Not just skills, but perseverance, work ethic, patience, etc etc that will be lessons he can use forever. Thank you so much!!! It was money and time well spent and grateful for all your help!

He has thoroughly enjoyed the training and the camaraderie with the other players. What can I say, when you combine the sport he loves, with good training, and above board players Jabez is a satisfied boy. Thanks again for this great week.

I have to tell you we took Gavin to a tryout for Falcon Futball Club which isn't premier or anything but I was really surprised at his ball handling skills. The coach was really praising him for getting open with the ball and making good passes. I asked Gavin where he learned those moves and he said from Coach John. Just wanted you to know the training is paying off for him.

I talked with Chase and he liked the variety of drills that you did with them and the personal attention given to him. From my point of view, it was good for him to play with higher caliber players, it stretched his ability. This is important now because he will be playing with older guys this year and I think he is a little intimidated. The training program only helped him get used to playing with the older players more. I also felt he was more motivated and had more incentive to improve his game. His confidence level also increased. Chase and Rick and I are interested in the private training but would like more information.

There is one thing I hated about the YPT tour-- it had to end!!! Seriously, it was so much fun and a truly special experience. The balance of
soccer and touring, of free time vs group time, of parent and child time was perfect. I can't imagine what goes into all this planning and the huge responsibility of leading the teenage boys and their parents
I was so impressed by the way you cared for every small detail, from watching
what the boys were eating, to making sure the parents were having fun too.
The soccer of course was great and your coaching is top notch. It was really fun to watch the team evolve from the first friendly to the final match.
The boys have said that the trip was amazing. They loved everything about it. Luke felt that the friendly was crucial to getting the team ready and loved training on site. They both wanted a longer trip...
I feel that we have made some wonderful new friends along the way, couldn't have asked for a better group. You certainly wore many hats, from coach to tour guide, to surrogate parent.. and you carried it all off with professionalism and humor. Both Chris and I have really enjoyed getting to know you. Your passion for the game and love of travel really shine through.
We have traveled every year since the boys were born and we all agree that this was one of our very favorite family vacations.

Definitely an awesome session I wish I had come out sooner. Like I said before, I defintely want to keep playing but it is tough to find consistent training. If there is anything you know of in the Boston area any help would be appreciated. I would like to pursue a professional career.
Chase

It was awesome having you out!! The kids enjoyed it. My younger son said this past Friday, unprompted, "I wish Coach John could come again". Thanks again.

Mitch had good HS season with 2nd highest goals scored and the most assists on the JV squad. In addition, lettered in Varsity as well. Your training him has made a difference.

Trent said he liked you and the way you were coaching. Some of the stuff is different to him and will take some getting used to, but he's a smart kid, so it won't be a problem.

Heard good things from the boys regarding your visit to Newark 2 weeks ago. Boys got a lot out of your training, both technical and method of - kudos that I know you want to hear.

Let me start off by saying thank you for the opportunity. It was a big deal to me after following you guys on social media and seeing the training you guys do, I never really looked in to depth good enough to realize how close you guys really were. Just the way it started, where you were already substituting the standard basic American warm up for one you observed over seas. The session was like one I’ve never experienced before. I think excited is an understatement to say for how much I’m looking forward to the next opportunity.
