"This coach progressed my soccer tremendously when I was 8-9 years old providing me with knowledge, passion and understanding of the game. This coach brought my whole team to first in league when my dad was the head coach who couldn’t provide us with the appropriate drills, knowledge, and understanding of the game. We lost our first three games and Coach Moore came in after the three games to turn all our games around to becoming first in league. All our parents ended up paying for our entrance into a tournament where we went on to place 3rd in. We ended up writing all our names on a soccer ball for him to show our appreciation. So I speak for 22 other kids who were on our team!
