1. "Believing that I am a normal soccer dad that knows everything, I was a little hesitant to go to the classes. Realizing that my wife needed the class, I decided to go with her for moral support. Having played soccer (football from where I come from) at a very high level, I went into the class thinking that I would be bored and know everything that there was to know about Soccer, the rules of soccer, what coaches look for in a player and everything else that is associated with youth soccer today. I am pleased to say that it was very enlightening and informative. The classes were in a relaxed environment and Mike did a great job explaining the nuances of soccer and was quite the entertainer. Mike had an agenda which he followed.

After completing the course I feel like I have a better appreciation for the rules of soccer, what goes into coaching and the amount of work and preparation that goes into youth soccer.

I would recommend this course to everybody whether you played professionally or you are just a soccer mom or dad. It was very insightful."

2."This is a must for parents who have never played soccer! (even those who have and think they know everything) Mike teaches all of the aspects of soccer in an enjoyable and fun atmosphere. Mike has the insight from many sides of soccer which includes playing youth through professional soccer, coaching, administrating camps and as a parent of a son and daughter who played youth soccer. It was a great learning experience and I appreciate and enjoy the game more since taking his class."

3."As a father of 2 children who have been playing select soccer for over 4 years now, I thought I knew a lot about the sport. I couldn't have been further from the truth. After Coach Mike's first class I quickly discovered how much I didn't know about soccer.
After going thru the class I see the game differently and understand more about what my kids are trying to do on the pitch. I also see my kid's coaches differently and their role in their development.
I found the class to be very informative and full of great information. I only wish we could have spent more time on all the topics discussed in the curriculum. I think any parent who take this class will come away with a greater appreciation of the sport, as well as becoming more soccer knowledgeable. I'm looking forward to Part 2.

4.“Mike’s Soccer Parent Classes are EXCELLENT and very worthwhile! I believe that I am now a much smarter soccer parent on the sidelines and a better supporter of my son’s soccer experience. Mike provides new insights into the youth development process and the game of soccer. It has made watching my kid play even more enjoyable, plus I now enjoy other games as well. It is great to get a former player’s and current coach’s perspective, but in my opinion, his experience as a soccer parent makes his classes even more valuable. Again…very worthwhile!”
