"Besides being an all-around nice guy, George has provided my son with exceptional knowledge and skill beyond what he's been able to learn even at the club/travel level.  Lucas has played since he was 5 years old, but has never had one-on-one training that George provides, which is critical to taking his game to the next level and a college career.  It's about getting touches and play time, but it's also about having an academic knowledge of the dynamics and techniques of the game, the "why's" and how's".  George provides the complete package."

"If there has ever been a coach that has made my kids believe in themselves it is Shannon!  She truly loves the game of soccer and sharing her love for the game with others!   Shannon provided a sense of confidence to my daughter that had been lost.  She individualizes techniques and support to each child at their level, all while delivering the same message.  Her message has always been, " work hard, try your best, respect other players and Have Fun!    She will treat you as a friend and your child like one of her own!"

"My son recently did a camp offered by Coach Shannon and Coach George. After only being able to attend three days of the camp, my son came home saying he learned more in those three days than he has learned in his 4 years of playing soccer. All the skills he learned in camp he uses in every game. I would recommend Shannon and George to anyone who has a soccer player that wants to have fun a learn tons of great soccer skills!"

"Dear George, I just want to take a minute and let you know how much our family appreciates all that you do for Aaron! From the very first session you saw things that he could work on to improve and you were so caring in how you taught him. There is no doubt that the impact you have had on Aaron is immeasurable not only on the field, but off it as well. Thank you simply is not enough to convey our gratitude. We can't wait to see what is yet to come!"

"I would like to share our experience with George and Shannon… in one word it has been OUTSTANDING! Our son, Nate, is being trained by them both and we are extremely impressed with the quality of technical instruction he is being given. With that, they have taught him the invaluable lesson of what it means to work hard for what he wants. The passion they have for the sport of soccer is evident and every player that gets the opportunity to learn from them comes away stronger and more confident. George and Shannon are mentors to Nate, both on and off the field, and have been a tremendous influence on his soccer journey. Thank you Upper 90!"

"Coach George and Coach Shannon have both helped me develop my skills and taught me the mental game of soccer. Working with them is very rewarding and a good experience. They encourage you, are great teachers and answer any question you might have. Having them as trainers and coaches changed the way I play now from an okay player to an advanced player. I am becoming a stronger, smarter and more determined player because of their training. Overall, Coaches George and Shannon are really good soccer players and ever since I’ve started training with them, I have learned so much. They also make getting to a higher level of play fun and enjoyable."

"We started with George and Upper 90 Professional Soccer Training in the summer of 2013 with our son Nicholas. We always thought of Nicholas as a decent soccer player but knew that he needed to up his game technically. Thanks to George not only has Nicholas’ skills improved but his confidence and understanding of the game has as well. Nicholas has benefited greatly from being exposed to such a knowledgeable trainer like George. His love of the game, his patience and knowledge far exceeded our expectations. We are grateful for what he has taught our son thus far and look forward to having him continue to work with Nicholas in the future. So, instead of saying that Nicholas gets all of his moves from his ‘Mom’ we now say that George at Upper 90 Professional Soccer Training has helped. Thanks George!!"
