Testimonials

“Kevin has been my coach, trainer, and friend for the past 7 years. His knowledge about the game of soccer is impeccable. He understands what it takes to be successful and pushes each player he works with to get closer and closer to reaching their end goal every single session. Kevin’s attention to detail is something that is immediately observed as nothing goes unnoticed, and that is a big reason as to why I’ve developed as a player while learning from him. Working hard while with Kevin comes naturally due to the perfect environment that he creates in each session. I am committed to play soccer at Ohio Wesleyan University next fall and would recommend no one other than Kevin Wickart to learn from both on and off the field.” -Trey Olsen

” I started with Coach Wickart when I was 10 years old and every training session has made me a better player. He makes sure that every technique is done properly, which helped to ingrain core skills into my muscle memory that some coaches overlook at practice. From taking the ball down out of the air to seamlessly executing a change of direction move, Coach Wickart has, and continues to, teach me skills that have taken my game to a higher/national level. When I was young, he taught me the fundamentals of the game such as basic passing and dribbling techniques. Now as I get older, he continues to always build off of these fundamentals to add details like passing to a teammates correct foot, which has helped me develop into the player I am today. ” Ainsley Ahmadian (U17 National Team Member)

 

” I began training with Coach Wickart when I was a u10 player. He continues to be an instrumental figure in developing my game by implementing a foundation of technical skills, drills, and ladder work that club training did not focus upon. His attention to detail and his strive to improve even the littlest touch caused me to develop a very technical and skillful game. Coach Wickart always takes the time during drills to break down the movements and make them game realistic. He looks at areas that you need to be better in and caters his sessions to those aspects. Overall his commitment to making me better has allowed me to thrive at a higher level.”   Hannah Bebar  (U17 National Team Member)

“Kevin has trained me since I was nine years old. My understanding of the game has come almost entirely from his coaching. In addition to learning the game from him, he also helped to develop my skills from a young age and still continues to help me grow to this day. Currently I play for the Chicago Magic PSG U18 Academy Team and I have signed my letter of intent to play at the University of Connecticut in the Fall. My aspirations are to one day play professionally. Along with being a high level trainer Kevin has become a great friend of mine and is someone I always look to for advice.” -Evan Brandon

“Kevin’s ability to break down the game into manageable but challenging chunks for every players is amazing. His sessions spend time on teaching usable and effective techniques to help everyone become an impact player on their team. His focus on agility, core strength, technique and speed of game decisions continually throughout the session is second to none. I have been around soccer for 35 years and highly recommend Kevin for your child’s soccer development.” -Jay Konrad

“My daughters have benefited from Coach Wickart’s training for more than two years. He is one of the best developmental trainers in the area. He has a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of soccer and is gifted at conveying this information to young children. My kids learn a lot from him and thoroughly enjoy their training. In fact, they can’t wait for their next sessions. Kevin made my girls into better, more complete soccer players. I highly recommend his training.” -Dan Doman

“Kevin has been an outstanding coach for both of my boys, and our friends ranging in ages from U8 – U18. His standards are high – he clearly teaches players technically and tactically on how to achieve their very best on the field. He manages groups with phenomenal specificity, assessing each player individually, giving honest and direct feedback both immediately and during practice. He is always available to talk to players and their parents after practice. His investment in the development of his players goes far beyond the call of duty. Players and parents can always count on him for being real. We have complete trust in Kevin. He has been instrumental in developing the skill, passion and love of the game in both of my boys. We couldn’t be more grateful.” -Kathy Iwashima

“My two daughters have trained with Kevin for over three years. Without hesitation, I can confirm that there is simply no better trainer available in this area. His positive impact on the development of my daughters touches well beyond the fundamentals of soccer. He continually identifies the areas of strengths and weakness, tailors the program to the individual, and communicates with an unique ability to connect at all ages. Every session has produced notable improvements that is applicable immediately. He possess a deep and thorough knowledge of soccer, but also possess an amazingly vast knowledge of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and nutrition that has been most impressive. He successfully incorporates strength, agility, balance, and mental strength, in a blended holistic manner that my daughters have responded amazingly well too. I have seen the improvements in their game, but I have also seen an increase in their commitment and love of the game. They truly enjoy working with Kevin, and he has the natural ability to push them, drive them to be their best, with a manner that my daughters thrive on. There is no more I can recommend Kevin.” -Ken Barrick MD
