"I am inspired by Coach Doug's website. It has helped me immensely." --Coach Greg, TX, USA

"I recently ordered the Coach Doug DVD and I can't say enough about it. The exercises were great, the pschology was great and the attitude behind it was inspiring. It has tons of good ideas and I would recommend it to any beginning coach. The DVD is worth every penny (and more) that I paid for it." --Coach David, WA, USA

"My kids and I watched the Coach Doug DVD this weekend. It’s awesome. It will make coaching much easier." Dan, first time U-4 coach

"Hey all - Coach Greg here. What an awesome site. I discovered Soccerhelp.com back about 6 years ago when my now 9 year old son started playing soccer and me coaching. I can tell you - there is nothing even close. That little soccer team back then, The Hurricanes - they were awesome!! Many of those kids still play soccer to this day and I run into many of them who still remember the good ol Hurricane days.

Well, here it is several years later, and I now have a 3 year old daughter. We just started soccer and yep - I coach but not without Soccer Help and Coach Doug's infinite fun!! We play our 4th game of the season tomorrow and the improvement game after game is astonishing. Last weeks game - all I saw were elbows and smiles. Lots of big smiles.

Thanks Coach Doug - Thanks SoccerHelp - My children continue to benefit from your passion!

Play Hard - Play Fair - Have Fun!"

--Coach Greg

"Our son Nathan was extremely fortunate to have been introduced to soccer by Coach Doug Burgoyne. Starting at age 3 ½, Nathan played three soccer seasons with Coach Doug. Sadly, in the spring of 2006 we moved from Texas and reluctantly had to say goodbye to Coach Doug. As Nathan began playing soccer at his new home in Maryland, other parents frequently acknowledged his exceptionally strong soccer skills. Recently, while reminiscing about what he missed most about living in Texas, Nathan fondly recalled numerous “Coach Doug soccer games and his fun practices.” When asked what he specifically missed most about Coach Doug, Nathan replied, "Coach Doug was my best coach—his games were fun!" --Melanie and Bill Boyce, Maryland USA

"Hello! I am the parent of a 4 yr old named Hannah who plays for an outstanding Coach that uses SoccerHelp. (Coach Doug Burgoyne, Little Lions – San Antonio, TX). My daughter has just flourished and become an amazing player under his guidance, and this is her very first time ever playing the game of soccer. Anyway, we are a military family and will be moving to San Diego in August. We want to continue our daughter's involvement in soccer for her age group and wanted to inquire if you knew of a SoccerHelp coach in the San Diego area. We have seen the other coaches and teams at many games recently, and Coach Doug's & SoccerHelp's techniques have put our kids leaps and bounds ahead of the rest in their playing AND with their enthusiasm. Most of all it is FUN while they are learning and that is what we are looking for in her next soccer program. We are so very sad to be leaving Coach Doug and his program, and we are hoping to find another SoccerHelp Coach as good as he is in the San Diego area. We would appreciate any recommendation you may have." --Monica Goodell (Mother of Hannah in Coach Doug's Video) July, 2006

Update on Hannah: September 2007

From Coach Doug:

"Have you actually seen the video yet? Hannah's profile is totally awesome, very motivating for her. Is she playing, how it is going?"

From Monica, Hannah's Mom)

"Yes! She played last summer and went to a British Soccer Camp that was a fantastic experience for her. It was the first time she was back in an "every player has a ball at their feet" atmosphere and she just took to it like a fish in water. The camp was coached by young men and women from Britain and Scotland who were great fun and great motivators. The kids were on World Cup Teams and every day earned "world cup points" to be applied to the World Cup Tournament on the last day of camp. Hannah was on Team England, and they actually won the "world cup". :) I attached a picture of it since she was the first to get to hold it. She was supposed to be in the group of 4 & 5 year olds, but they moved her up to play with the 6 & 7 year olds!"

Note: They moved her up two years in age group, she was that good!
