"Thank you Tasha-Nicole for all your hard work"


 

"Tasha is an expert in training soccer players in how to improve their juggling skills.  Soccer juggling is the foundation of soccer skills, the ability to trap the ball with knees, chest, feet, to shoot and volley the ball, everything that makes a good soccer player great revolves around juggling.  The great thing about Tasha is that she is the world's foremost expert on juggling and she has the amazing ability to inspire her students in training to reach new heights with their game, and most importantly their confidence, on and off the field.  I have watched her transform players who could not even juggle the ball a few times to players who are making top club teams and performing as good or better than their teammates.  Last year I formed a men's premier team, the Conejo Valley Arsenal FC.  Several of my players were struggling with their juggling abilities, Tasha trained them at several practices and worked with those players one and one with their juggling skills. She also taught them proper warm-up techniques before games, and the results were outstanding.  The players who worked with Tasha just a few times developed touch and ability that brought their game to a new level.  Their confidence levels improved dramatically and ultimately our team won the Men's League championship 2005!  Thank you Tasha for all your hard work, your training helped us win the league in our first year, we look forward to working with you next season!  If you know a soccer player who wants to take their game to the next level, whether it's a youth player who wants to make a club team, or a high school player who wants to get a college scholarship, Tasha is the best soccer trainer available today!"

Dear Tasha,
When I started I could barely juggle 10 times, but within 6 months I could juggle 1000 and now my record is close to 4,000 and I am the current World Record holder for the most speed juggles in 2 minutes [524 touches]...You have shown me the right technique and have helped me achieve these accomplishments! You also have taught me things that include aerial control and positioning on the field.

We would work on this before tournaments and this would be how I would score. For example we would work on a lot of full volley shots and positioning. A couple weeks later when my tournament came up I got 4 goals in 4 games, including a full volley shot where I shot around a defender from 20 yards out and a hat trick in the Championship Game. All of which were solely based on correct positioning and foot skills. I’ve made the varsity team as a freshman and even had a hat trick in a high school match. Thank you Tasha, and I hope to learn many more things from you...

Love,
Bryce


Dear Tasha,

I have to thank you for all of the training that you have done for me all the moves that you taught me and all of the juggling that you have taught me and lots of BALL CONTROL!!!!!
I’m also thankful for you being my friend from the first day that I met you and also believing that I could do better... and from then on.

I also like how you got me a really nice soccer ball and also an England beanie. You have pushed me to and over my limit and that is how I got better at my juggling and ball control. I am looking forward to continuing training with you. You are definitely the best trainers that I have ever had! You have never been mean to me when I couldn’t do something you told me to keep trying and to do my best.
ANYONE who ever asks me about a TRAINER I WILL RECOMMEND YOU!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

Sincerely,

Tasha-Nicole has not only taught my daughter Courtney the basic ball controlling skills for soccer, but has taught her self confidence and life skills for developing into a young woman.
She has taught Courtney that anything is possible if you just work hard, follow your heart and stay true to your dreams.

Thanks Tasha,
Lisa Russell


Dear Tasha-Nicole,

At first, when I thought about juggling, I assumed I would never need it in a game or in practice. Oh, how I was wrong! From taking lessons with Tasha-Nicole, I have learned ball control skills that I will be able to use every time I play soccer. In a game, when a big punt is coming towards me, now I know how to control it. When I started with Tasha, I could do only five juggles, now I can do 24! I know some people might think it is not necessary to have a private coach when you already have coaches on your soccer team.

For me, even though I have great coaches on my team, having Tasha-Nicole as my private coach has been the best thing for my soccer and for my life. She really helps me focus directly on my weaknesses and points out all my strengths. I trust she knows what I need to work on, and we are able to practice on those drills without a bunch of other drills to work on that are not related.

Aside from being a terrific coach, Tasha is beautiful on the inside and out. She has inspired me to never to give up when I don’t know how to do something, in soccer and life. As of now, I don’t know where soccer will take me, but I do know that the time I have spent so far with Tasha-Nicole will help me through life.

Tasha- Nicole is the best. She is kind, funny, and extremely nice. Tasha has really helped me to become a great soccer player, whether it is helping me on my juggling or my shooting. There is no doubt that she has helped me in soccer; however, she has helped me even more with other parts of my life.

Tasha- Nicole helps me to have and continue to build confidence in myself. I have always had a hard time believing in myself. Now after knowing Tasha as a trainer and as a friend I feel that I can do anything I want to in my life.

Since I met Tasha, she has given me the confidence to soar. I will never give up and I will always look at the glass half full not half empty. Thanks to Tasha, I will never have to doubt myself again. She also helps me get through the tough obstacles in life that are really challenging and helps me stay true to my heart and become the best person I can be. She encourages me to go out and help bring peace, love, and happiness to those around me.

She has inspired me to make a difference around me and to understand that my efforts can make a difference in the world. I’ve learned to set goals that will help everyone I can who needs a helping hand. Tasha- Nicole has changed my life and made me believe that maybe, just maybe the world could be a better place. This is my dream and Tasha-Nicole is my role model. She will always be an inspiring person in my life.

I love you Tasha,

Dear Tasha-Nicole,

You really know your game! Your training has helped me in many ways. You have taught me to be one with the ball, and how to handle it very well. Although I haven’t mastered ball handling, as soon as I started my training with you, I saw soccer as a different game.
A game where you need those “balance muscles” to help you with everything, and that a simple touch is all you need! I have learned how to juggle the right way, and that timing is everything. I am looking forward to many more training sessions with you, and I am excited to see what is to come for the near future!

Always,
Lily K.

"Inspiring. This sums up Tasha’s approach to soccer. She encourages excellence by actually showing how to accomplish it!  Tasha’s loving approach to the techniques of soccer helps a person achieve the maximum improvement.  What’s most encouraging is that she takes the time to evaluate the player, watches actual playing situations and builds a program around the needs of the player.  I enjoy observing the changes in my daughter’s performance week by week, day by day.  I especially love seeing her use moves that Tasha has taught her on kids who have no clue how to stop her!  Her positive approach to teaching builds self confidence in her students.  Encouraging her students to believe in  themselves. Leading them towards higher self-esteem."

"We (my parents and I, and Rachie) love you for everything you offer to Rachel. I honestly don't know what we would do without your wonderful love, support and words (and actions) of wisdom."

"We believe that our daughters' soccer skills have improved greatly since they began training with Tasha-Nicole and Tony. They really enjoy the individual attention, which has helped them in all aspects of their game. Even more importantly, Tasha-Nicole and Tony's training has given the girls more confidence, which we couldn't help but notice on and off the field."

Cayla and Josh Schneider

Kaycee loves working with Tasha. From the first practice, I saw as a parent, my child improve with such strides and she found a new level of respect and love for the game as well. Kaycee, before she met Tasha could juggle on average 40-50 times. After the first session with Tasha, her record that day was 140. A week later she was at 230 and climbing. Her balance and ball control has never been better and has helped her become a pivotal part of her club soccer team, sometimes never leaving the field! We look forward to Kaycee further developing her skills with Tasha.

Sincerely,
Erik Holcomb - Kaycee’s Father

"Thanks so much to you & Mike for all the great soccer training these past few months. Samantha has learned a lot from you both about ball control, speed, and train of thought. I've also noticed a renewed excitement about soccer."
