"Michelle was personable, patient, understanding and met me at the level I was at. She’s great at explaining and gave positive feedback which motivated me to keep going. It gave me confidence and helped me perform. I ran pretty late and she still gave me the same attention and helped me max out the most of the time we did have together. I highly recommend.

Jose
My name is Josh Adelsberg and I have been a dedicated soccer player for practically my whole life. After completing my high school career and while continuing recreational play in college, I plan to stay involved with the sport by spreading my knowledge and experience to all those who want to learn. I started my career at PSA as the captain of my team and transitioned into high school soccer where I played 4 years on varsity. Through that time, I developed many connections in the amateur and professional soccer world. My coaching philosophy starts with understanding a player's needs by both watching and listening to them. Coaching is both about giving my personal, experienced opinion as well as listening to the wants of the player. It is important to not only have short-term goals set at the beginning of any session, but also long-term goals for the future.
