Jason- I got a chance to watch you coach Ryan last week and just wanted to say it was a pleasure. I have been coaching him since U4 along with his teammates. It is definitely time for me to turn over the reins to coaches that can push him farther and harder. I have watched a lot of practices and you get more out of the kids in 1 hour than we ever could in many practices. I know it helps when you have the dedicated kids that want to learn as well. I just want you to know you are appreciated!

I have been training with coach Jason for as long as I can remember. I would not be half the soccer player I am today without him. I am currently 16 and in my third year on a Development Academy team. Training with him over the years is why I am able to compete at such a high level of soccer. His training sessions have helped me improve every aspect of my game. He not only has improved my technical part of my game but has also improved my understanding of the game. Every time I have trained with him he has worked on improving me as an all around player, not just one part. Every time I train with him I learn something new, he has a really great understanding of the game. I've never met someone so passionate about soccer which has made me love the game even more. He puts all of his attention and focus on you as an individual which you do not get from very many coaches. I am very lucky to have had him as my coach all these years.

I've been training with coach Jason since I was 8 years old. I am now 13 and I play at the ECNL level. Coach Jason has taught me that if you want it, you have to work for it. The way he coaches/pushes me through his training sessions has made me the player I am today.

PlayMaker Training has made a huge difference with our children's skill sets. The technical skills that have been taught this far are like none other that we have seen. Due to their higher level of technical ability both have gained from this program, they are now playing with more confidence than ever before. The training environment is challenging, fast paced, and action packed, yet comfortable for the kids to try new things without the fear of failing. Coach Jason's knowledge, love for the game, love for kids, and passion for helping kids improve is very evident. Our children look forward to, and are eager to attend training each week. We are so thankful that PlayMaker Training has found a home here in WNY!

Jason, I would like to personally thank you for the individual training for Payton and Sammi Jo over the past 6 months. You can really see the difference in them tactically with the ball and their confidence and speed on the ball technically. Payton is having a very successful winter season with the Flash Academy U12 team and U13 New York West ODP sessions. Our 9 year old Sammi si scoring a bunch of goals and assists playing up with the Flash Academy U11 team in a U14 Division.
They really enjoy your approach to coaching them with their footwork, speed/acceleration with the ball drills, and striking drills. The emphasis of speed timing them with a stopwatch really conditions them to play faster with the ball. Payton says "she enjoys the jokes while still working hard during the training as it is a lot of fun."
We look forward to continuing the individual training throughout the Spring and Summer. Thank you again for taking the time to work with our girls.

We are extremely satisfied with the training our son, Kyle, receives from Jason in both 1-on-1 and group sessions. We would strongly recommend to others. The caliber of instruction, organization, and motivation are by far what stands out to us with PlayMaker Training. Kyle's technical skills along with more confidence have definitely improved and are truly more evident in team practices and games.

Thank you PlayMaker Training! Jason has been training my daughter since she was U9. She is now U13 and plays on the ECNL Jr. Team, and she also plays up on the U14 ECNL team. Training with Jason has given my daughter the skills that she needs to compete at the ECNL level, and the confidence she needs to reach her goals.
