Ilja used SoccerFit 1-2-1 to enhance her fitness, sharpen her technique, and boost her confidence....her reward for all her hard work came when she scored a goal on the last day of the season...
In football I have always been chosen to play right back because I would tire quickly in positions that required more running. I worked hard to get my fitness level up but I was still lacking the development in my ball handling skills. I couldn't wait for the season to begin.
I had done all the pre-season preparation I could on my own and now needed some good coaching to improve my ball skills. When I couldn't get what I needed from the club coach, I gave SoccerFit a call to discuss what I needed. Liam understood my passion for the game and my desire to improve and organised one on one soccer coaching with Tarek.
From day one I knew that Tarek could make all the difference. I was learning how to dodge past players and learning the mechanics of the fancy footwork I always saw the better skilled players able to do. Tarek continued to add to my skill development every week and built my confidence up.
In the last game of my season, I put all that extra training with SoccerFit into play and achieved my goal...finally. I can't wait to play again and I don't need to wait long, having been selected to play in the World Masters Games for the Sydney Stingrays (30+) in October 2009. The new skills Tarek has taught me have added an additional element of enjoyment to my game. I'm now confident that I can achieve another one of my life's goals; play in the SW2 competition in 2010. Thank you Liam, Tarek and SoccerFit!
