John, just wanted to let you know that Jasmine really benefited from your
training. Would be interested in hearing your assessment of her skills and
areas she should continue to focus on developing. She is seriously looking
at securing a scholarship stateside, (Howard University is one of her top
choices) so we are looking to support her with any additional training
that's necessary to elevate her skills. Would welcome your suggestions for
specific trainers / training programs.

You might want to add that, as a coach, I introduced many of the key elements taught in your course to all of our team players. The results have been dramatic with overall scoring this season that is 3 times better than any other year. Your methods are a regular component of our training sessions.

Here is a picture (not shown) of us in China after our first game (the team that had 5 national players on it). I'm third in on the top row from the right.

For Adam you can just say that he had the opportunity to play with "Top Dogs Bryst International" in England May 1st to May 9th. He also played in a Super Clubs tournament in Florida with AYSC U-15 Boys, when he got back to the Toronto airport, he flew out the same day to England to play with Super Clubs International All-Star American Team, they won 1 game, lost 1 and tied 3. It was a good learning experience for him playing at that level.

Thanks John,

Teresa Hintz

P.S. our class on Tuesday must have really helped me out because after that I've been playing much better, I even scored a goal that night in my last game of the season. Unfortunately we lost 6-1 but hey, I got one=) Adam also scored a goal that night at his game and had a bunch of other really good chances my dad said.

Your credibility and content is excellent

Johnny,

John,

Excellent presentation. I wish you success.

Alfons

P.S. I now understand what your book is going to be all about. I may be on a real winner!!

John,

I listened to your presentation at the NSCAA conference on scoring goals and then spoke to you later. The information you presented was very helpful and I will definitely apply what you shared when we start our high school season in early March. I coach at Ferris High School in Spokane, Washington. We have had a successful program but like everyone else, at times we struggle to score. I was very interested in the data you had from the 2002 World Cup. I appreciate you taking the time to present in Baltimore and would be indebted to you if you can let me know when your book comes out.

Thanks again,

Robin Crain

I sat in on your class about scoring goals at the convention and was blown away! I wanted you to do your entire course during the convention!

Thanks-please keep us posted if you prepare a book or manual for this! It was awesome.

"During the last 30 years I have been to countless soccer clinics. Many
were excellent, few were a waste of time. Your clinic is different, and
unique. "I enjoyed your coaching session and as you fine tune your Secrets, Tricks, and Facts to improve Scoring Goals, will have a powerful presentation for developing Goal Scoring. A "powerful tool", which no doubt will benefit and excite many coaches and players." A. Rubbens Publisher- Inside Soccer Magazine

" I thought your seminar was excellent. It definitively changes how I coach my team. After two exhibition games against strong competition we scored 3 goals in each game compared to last year where we struggled to score even two goals a game." Neil Pinheiro Brams Utd. Girls U15 Allstar Team

"interesting and very informative, if players or coaches come with an open mind, they will definitely learn a lot, which in turn will help all soccer players. Thanks john, I look forward to the next one." F Macri

"It was interesting, informative and also entertaining. I’ve never seen six hours go by so fast" Gary Nasu

Hi John,

Lisa received some press coverage up in Sudbury. Thought you might be interested in how your former student is doing.

Take care.

Dear John DeBenedictis,

My name is Russ Boyer. I am the Head Coach of the Boys Soccer Team at Brighton High School in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. I attended the 2004 NSCAA Conference in Charlotte, NC last year and I was very impressed with your presentation. As I am preparing for our upcoming season, I was reviewing my notes and remembered that mentioned last year that you may have a book or other publication on goal scoring coming out. If that is the case, where could I purchase a copy? I would like to implement concepts from your presentation in my team philosophy and practice structure. Anything you have or any direction you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,

Russ Boyer

Hi John,
For some reason I don't recall getting a final version, so if you can
re-send that would be great. A hard copy/ies would be splendid.. At the end
of the season, even though I don't want to give away our secret, we will
write an article about how your course turned our fortunes around.

Cheers,
Gerry
PS - Even without Analisa the girls scored four goals against Mississauga
last week and created enough chances for more if not for the heroics of
their keeper and the ref calling back goals. I think it is important to
note that the course did wonders BUT, the application of the coaching
scoring principals you preached at each of our practices is why it
continues to produce results. I guess the message for the coaches is that
it will not only transform your players but also you as a coach!

John

Your coaching session in Baltimore was "wicked- awesome"

Very informative. The best part was you had everybody by the balls right from the start!

Everyone was frantically taking notes.

Cool,

Saverio Michielli

I’ve been coming to these conventions since 1951 and this is the first session that really really peaked my interest. Enjoyed presentation. Great points on scoring and it was well done with repetition to get the points across. Lots of psychological stuff that also relates to basketball. Picture with Landon Donovan was perfect.

Well Done,

Rick Pizarro Springfield College, Baltimore

John,
I loved your presentation in Santa Clara and felt that there were points that where extremely valid, and gave us coaches an opportunity to re-evaluate or shooting sessions

Ciao,

John,

Loved the video clips illustrating your points and liked the Power Point visuals. The personal experiences were great to hear as well, from a goalkeepers perspective.

Very informative from a variety of perspectives and research data. Highlights of games were excellent to view.

"Visual presentation was great! Kids and adults are all visual learners. Very good. At first, I asked myself how is John going to teach goal scoring in a class? Great ideas."
