Thank you to Coach Jeremy for coaching me this year and helping me improve a lot. I think you are the best coach that I’ve ever had in terms of strategy and helping the whole team at once. You have been one of the few coaches to actually help me grow in soccer and train me the proper way while believing in me. It’s sad that I won’t have you as a coach next year but I will always use your ethics and lessons for life or playing any time of soccer. Thank you.

“It has been mine and my husband’s joy to watch our 7-year-old build not only his strength, balance, and endurance this last year participating in SMAA’s youth athletic development program through the Arundel Rec, but also his love of movement. Jeremy has a special way to engage each child at their own level and personalities and get them to move like I have never seen before. Our son has had balance and coordination issues since he learned to walk. He is not the fastest or the most athletic but watching the changes he has made each week has been amazing. To see his face beaming with pride when he does something he could not do last week, or he tries something new for the first time, has been elating. He leaves sweating and tired but excited and ready for what they will do next week.

We can't thank Jeremy enough for starting this program and bringing it to Arundel. We look forward to the next session and continue to watch our son grow and develop with him.”

“Jeremy is an incredibly talented strength and conditioning coach. He has a special talent working with young athletes. I think it’s because of the enthusiasm and excitement he brings to each session. After only a few weeks training with Jeremy, my child had a notable increase in speed, agility and strength that carried over to the field and ice rink. I would highly recommend Jeremy to anyone considering a s/c coach!”

“SMAA has provided my children aged 5 and 10 with an experience unlike any other sports-based program. Jeremy’s energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge of child development shines throughout his leadership during group time. He uses fun, engaging movement activities to build strength, endurance, and confidence in children. We are very appreciative of the progress he has made with our children.”

“We want to say thank you to Coach Jeremy for providing our son and the other kids with an amazing experience. Our son came home everyday happy and excited about the new skills he had learned and friends he made. The camp Coach Jeremy provided was fun and engaging. It was a valuable experience for our son. As a coach, Jeremy was patient, kind, and catered his teaching to each camper. We liked that it was small in numbers, definitely made for a more hands on experience. We hope to have our son do another SMAA camp in the future, highly recommend!”

“Over the past few months, my son has had the pleasure of being coached by Jeremy through the Maine ODP team. While my son’s soccer skills have continued to improve through the practices and drills he has experienced through the program, it is the coaching which has continued to enhance my son’s performance and love of the game. Jeremy takes the time to help build the skills necessary to compete at a higher level of play. He also cares about the players which I can see, as he talks with the players as they come off the field. He takes a genuine interest in helping each player improve but also is a supportive coach and recognizes each players strengths and what they bring to the team.”
