Testimonials
I always reflect on what have been defining decisions in my life. Joining Soccer’s Best is by far the best decision that I could have made. I joined Soccer’s Best because I had a love for this game and wanted to be a better player. Being in an environment with Alex, who has nothing but passion for the game, and many like-minded athletes pushes you above and beyond whatever limits you thought you had. With the guidance of Alex I went to play on a scholarship and was a four year starter for my team. Being physically fit is important (and trust me, Soccer’s Best will get you there - thank you hill training, sand training, bunny drill and parachutes), but what I believe is even more important is the mental toughness Alex fosters in his players. He knows the game, he knows players and he knows the dedication, grit, drive, and perseverance that it takes to get to the next level. Above all that, you become a smarter player. A sharper player. A more skilled player. Being a women’s soccer player and training with guys has upped my game, and is an invaluable asset of Soccer’s Best. I owe so much of who I am, and the person I am today to Soccer’s Best - best decision I could have made!
Taylor Woods
“Our daughter, Taylor, started with Alex and Soccer’s Best at the age of 14. She played club soccer but needed more of a challenge and further development of her skills at a higher level. Alex provided individualized coaching specific to what Taylor needed. Her goal was always to get a scholarship to school while playing soccer. Soccer’s Best provided her that opportunity! Now, nine years after having started with Soccer’s Best, she is a Social Worker, having graduated in 2018 with her Bachelor of Social Work degree from Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, TN. Thank you, Alex, Taylor, and Soccer’s Best for all of your dedication and hard work!”

“Before joining Soccer’s Best I never thought I could achieve much in the sport of soccer, but the program taught me all the skills I would need to reach my goal of being a college athlete. It taught me soccer skills, as well as life skills like perseverance, confidence and how to push through and overcome adversity. Without everyone at Soccer’s Best I wouldn’t be where I am today, nor would I be the person I am today.”

"As an athlete I knew I always wanted to pursue soccer at a higher level but I could have never imaged achieving my dream. Soccer’s Best gave me the confidence and support to reach this goal while also getting a great college degree. As I continue to into my junior year, I take the confidence from Soccer’s Best experience to help lead my lead and to continue to have an important role on the field. My experience has also opened up the world to coaching and mentoring younger athletes."

Big shout out and thank you to Soccer’s Best, because of this program I was able to go to the US on soccer scholarship. Without this program I would not have even dreamed of going to school down south, having an amazing opportunity, or getting to be a part of such an amazing atmosphere.

"Playing for Soccer's Best is a fantastic opportunity. Every practice I get to play with and against very talented players. Playing against the best has made me a better, more confident player. I have made lifelong friends, all with the same motivation as me and the same ambition to take our game to the next level. Without my team, Dana, Kim and especially Alex, I would not have reached my goal of attaining a U.S. scholarship. With Alex's awesome coaching we are all more than prepared to meet the unknown athlete."

“Our daughter has been with Soccer’s Best for 4 years. Alex and the many role models that have come through his program are both passionate about the sport and inspiring. Our daughter’s development in the sport has grown immensely in her time with Soccer’s Best and equally important are the lessons of hard work and perseverance that will stay with her for life. We are thankful to have found Alex because he is both knowledgeable and professional and has the kid’s best interests in mind. We also want to acknowledge the support team Alex has in Kim and Dana as they do a beautiful job of communicating with the families.”
