Player Stories

College & Professional Players.

Long-term development, demanding sessions and game-specific work—described by players who have competed at the collegiate, national-team and professional levels.

“The training really focuses on attention to detail and translating training drills to actual situations that you experience in a game. The intensity and environment allow you to make improvements in different aspects of your game. The attention to detail, workload, intensity and coaching points are all at a very top level.”

Real Salt Lake • Professional • ~6 Years Training

“They have supported me through various stages of my career and prepared me for MLS and USL professional trials and numerous NCAA Division I seasons. I noticed a vast improvement in my technical ability and fitness after I began training with them. The sessions are intense, position-specific and built around situations you repeatedly encounter during games.”

“I’ve noticed my technical abilities, touches and positioning improve while training with you guys—faster feet and adjusting to small spaces. What separates you is that you’re actually trying to get the players better. If you see somebody mess up, you work with them until they get it right. It’s always something different, and it’s not easy—it is hard.”

Developing Players & Families

Growth You Can See.

Technical growth matters most when it changes how a player sees, solves and executes the game.

“I’ve been training with them for the past three years, and during that time I’ve seen significant improvement in my game. My technical skills have improved, and I’ve developed a much better understanding of the game. I’ve also become more confident in making smarter decisions on the field. One area where I’ve seen noticeable improvement is my free kicks, as I’ve been able to score many of them in games.”

“We’ve seen so much growth in Beck since he started training with Aaron, Hamid and Abdi. His first touch, finishing, movement off the ball and ability to play quickly under pressure have all improved, and he’s become much more confident and creative in 1v1 situations. They know his game really well, know when and how to push him, and genuinely care about his development.”

Parent Perspectives

Coaching That Meets the Player.

For parents, development is about more than drills. These stories highlight confidence, individualized coaching, challenge and an environment players want to return to.

“My son has been training with Hamid for about four years now. His confidence on the ball immediately improved with the coaching he received. Previous trainers were not as thorough in breaking down a skill or move, and their aggressive tone frustrated him. He was able to gain skill moves much more quickly through Hamid’s calm and fun approach. He loves coming to Hamid’s trainings.”

David Kukor
Parent • Son Has Trained With Hamid ~4 Years

“My son Hunter, who plays for Club Ohio MLS Next HG U17, has been working with Hamid for about three years now. Hamid’s trainings are always intense, fast-paced and challenging. Hamid has helped Hunter sharpen not only his technical skills but also his decision-making. Training with Hamid has definitely taken Hunter’s skills to the next level.”
