“Patrick identified my son’s weaknesses and customized a plan to improve them. His approach is unique and fun. We highly recommend Patrick to anyone who wants to improve their game.”

“From the first communication with Coach Patrick it was clear he would be a great fit in providing our 16 year old son some specific technical training to supplement his club team training. He's very responsive and flexible in working around our hectic schedules and we were able to find a suitable training location to meet that was convenient as well. During the first training session, he was focused on identifying weaknesses and strengths, and developed a plan for our son to focus and improve upon those areas identified. The first couple of sessions were excellent, fast paced and challenging, which in turn has our son looking forward to continuing to work with him. We would definitely recommend The Sharpened Athlete to others.”

“Very nice session. I do like the idea of using elements to force players to remain aware of their surroundings. Also, combining space awareness with drills was really good. Both feet soccer training on every exercise. My player was fully engage on the entire session an really enjoy it. Great work!”

“Coach Patrick is an excellent trainer. The first session included an evaluation of my 14 year old son to determine his strengths & weaknesses. Each session that followed had varying drills that helped to work on the weaknesses identified. Many of the drills were very innovative & no 2 sessions were the same. He also filmed some of the drills to provide visual feedback. Patrick does a nice job challenging my son, while also providing ample encouragement. I’ve already noticed improvement in my son’s passing & use of his off foot. I plan to continue to have my son work with him & I’d highly recommend coach Patrick to others.”

“Coach Patrick is a fantastic trainer and developer of youth soccer players. He mixes a lot of mental strength and approach with highly technical training. Patrick also utilizes the most current technologies to make sure players stay completely engaged, enjoying diverse sessions that never become repetitive. Very highly recommended.”

“They took on my 5 1/2 year old son. He had very basic soccer skill but was athletic for his age. In a little over 14 months of weekly training sessions, he has gone from not making his town travel team, to making every team he tries out for. His technical skill, vision, shooting, defending and game awareness have all improved, SIGNIFICANTLY. We identified weakness during his games and attacked them in his sessions with great success. Both coaches have been excellent. Sessions are fun and exciting, he looks forward to them and when he needs motivation they provide that as well. Highly recommend and I am glad we found them!”

“Coach Patrick was my son’s first travel soccer coach over five years ago and he remains the best coach that my son has ever had. He is kind, energetic and caring, all while being an excellent coach who takes the time to know each child on an individual level and pushes them to play their best. Over the years, my son has done many hours of individual training with Patrick as well as small and larger group classes with both Patrick and Coach Kevin. He shows vast improvement when working with them and most importantly, always has fun. I recommend Patrick and The Sharpened Athlete to everyone I know with a child who plays soccer. They are the best there is in NYC!”

“My son has participated in the small group training sessions as well as individual sessions for several years. As an elite A team player he has found these sessions highly valuable and says he continues to learn so much from them. The coaches are extremely experienced, patient and wise and can deal with the highs and lows that the young athletes feel as they play intensely. The vision training is also extremely valuable.”
