Common Questions

What skill level players do you coach?

I coach all levels, from beginners to Elite level goalies.
Will working with you conflict with my child's teams coach?

Working with me does not conflict with your club or school coach, but I may have a slightly different approach to skill execution and decision making. I would be more than happy to communicate with your club or school coach if this becomes an issue.
My child is trying to make the team, can you help them ahead of tryouts?

Definitely! But it's best to work with me a few weeks before the tryouts or event so your child has a chance to practice what they learned. This way when they get to tryouts, they've developed some muscle memory and can just play the best they can on that day.
Are you able to help my child during off-seasons and during season or is one better than the other?

I'm able to help your child all year long and can take advantage of my coaching whenever they need feedback.
My child wants to get recruited to play in college, can you help them with this?

Yes, not only do I have personal experience with my child's recruiting process, but have been helping my clients for 15 years get recruited as well.
My child struggles to translate practice to improved gameplay. Can you help them with improving actual in-game play?

Yes, I specialize in developing the proper skills and the understanding of when, how, and why to use them during game play.
