TESTIMONIALS
Excellent Coach

“I have been training with David and found him to be a brilliant coach right from the day I first met him. He made me feel comfortable, and he was immediately able to improve my skills and teach me how to correct and identify things within my game. David has already taught me so much and I really enjoy his sessions as they are fun and challenging. David is a great coach who is very well respected amongst those he coaches. I am grateful to be able to be working with David to become the best possible player I can be and I look forward to working with him in the future.”
Best Experience
“My U13 Son has been playing footy for his club for several years. He is one of the highest goal kickers for the club and won numerous best on ground and coaches awards along the way. He had one trial session with David recently. When I asked him "what do you think son?" after his session, he said "I learnt more from David today than what I have learnt from all the coaches over the years!" For a boy of very few words, this is a huge compliment! Thanks for the session David. He will be back on a regular basis with you, after the school holidays.” - Ash Jayasinha

“My 12 year old son Blake had a great session with David working on his footwork, agility and kicking, teaching him drills to practice and work on before his next session. David has a lot of experience and can assess what the individual player is good at and things they need to work on.” - Scott Mulholland

“David's approach to the session from initial introduction through to drills was was absolutely fantastic. He clearly explains and demonstrates what he's looking for and provides continual encouragement throughout the lesson. He connected really well with Liam and doesn't simply instruct, but asks for knowledge of different skills prior to the drill and then again following to ensure learnings. Love the fact that he sent Liam home with some set skill drills to continue to work on. Couldn't recommend David highly enough. Thanks David!” - Paul Wright

“David has been spot on for Luis' coaching sessions. Luis has definitely built his strength and agility and ability to use both sides of his body with all footy skills. David has kept Luis’s attention and while each each session has been building strength, no 2 sessions have been the same. David is a great communicator a constantly motivates Luis to go stretch bit further and believe in himself. Thanks David.” - Luis Sari

“David has applied his knowledge and experience to identify the specific development needs of my son and tailor sessions that are appropriate to his needs rather than taking a one size fits all approach. In addition to the skills we requested to be focused on, we are seeing development across all elements of Mathews game (physical, mental, broad based skills and game craft). The sessions provide true value for money as well as knowledge and experience that won't be found in other football programs. A great experience for any aspiring young footballers and their parents.” - Gary McWilliams
