My wife and I will always place academics over sports. Since 2005 my daughter had taken a huge interest in soccer I remember telling her as long as she maintains excellent school results, I would support her endeavor.

She is only 10 now but that seems like a lot of valuable time has passed in this competitive sport. She was not getting the proper training during regular academy training & games in order to develop to the next step. A friend of our home team recommended David and after my first visit I knew I had found the right group.

I very impressed with David’s discipline and strategy with working with kids.  If you’re idea of a good coach or trainer is to hug your child and tell them there the greatest player in the world then this is not the place for you. David approach starts with discipline and complete focus to details and accountability that drive for results. In every lesson he quickly tells the students what he or she is doing wrong and highlight what they are doing right. I remember one day one of his students told David I can’t do this move. He stopped the whole class and said to the class nobody ever says the word I can’t in my gym. The  Scrimmages they do at the end of the lesson reinforces the fundamental improvement the kids will do on game day and to me is the most exciting part of the training to fun.

Since we joined about 6 months ago I can already see improvement in confidence and field play. I am not saying she is in the top 10 category trust me it’s going to be a long journey but now she has the fundamental tools to develop and bring skill and value to whatever team she joins.

My girls, Margaret and Olivia, have been training with David for over 5 years. I've seen significant improvement in their individual skills, their tactical capabilities and their "game based" situational awareness since training with David.

When I first met David and saw his training methods, I was immediately impressed - "blown away" to tell you the truth. I realized that David's training methods were unique - from his focus on technical skill development to teaching his players that the game of soccer is about controlling the ball, passing, moving, identifying "numbers up" situations, knowing when to play fast, knowing when to play slow - playing a "Barcelona FC" soccer style that is rarely seen or coached to in this area.

David's enthusiasm, love for the game of soccer and commitment to his players is unmistakable. He does not take short cuts. He invests in his players. He creates a challanging but absolutely positive soccer environment. He treats all his players as athletes - whether they are girls or boys.

I've played soccer most of my life - from youth soccer to Division I soccer while in college. I've spent years being coached. Seeing David's training and coaching style, I would include David as one of the best coaches and trainers I have known.

I have been very impressed and satisfied with the Forza program and would highly recommend it to any parent considering David and the Forza program for their athlete. Roger Norman Father of Olivia and Margaret Normans

One day searching for a trainer or other options in soccer I came across Forza Campiones VIP Training. I spoke to David, and he just said "come on over for the last part of our camp". From the moment we walked into his place, the parents were very friendly and made you feel welcome. The first training made a great impression on me. He asked each kid to introduce himself to my son, and then he said ok monkeys let's get to work. The discipline and attention on those kids was something I have never seen at any other practice. From the very first drill I knew there was something different and more valuable at Forza. The training was something my son had never done in 3 years of soccer and 6 month of private training with some of the “biggest names” in soccer in Austin. Then it was time for the kids to play and that is when I notice the difference between the Forza players and any other player I have ever seen in Austin. We were already committed to a different trainer for the following two month, but I knew we were stopping our child from advancement every day he was not training with David. I gave away the two months of training and started with one day a week, then moved to two sessions, and then to unlimited, and my son could never had enough. He was enjoying soccer more than ever in his life. Then we started playing tournaments with the Forza players, and that showed me the other value of Forza. When our team lost the semifinal, they broke in tears and the older players came and comfort them. They told them how they all had been there, and how at the end of the day it was just a game. They don’t only learn the skills need it for professional soccer, but David gives the kids lessons that will help them be a better person for life. He dedicates his time to make sure each player is getting the training need it. Forza also brings out the best talent on each kid, and gives them the confidence to be creative in soccer. He has also taught me how to be a better soccer parent and I can only said that move to the Forza Family was one of the best decisions ever made.
