Good private training that can truly help develop my teen?

[Guest]

Hey all! I have a kid who wants to take their training to the next level and do private lessons. We've done them before with someone who is highly regarded but honestly their communication is virtually nonexistent as they are super nonresponsive and there is no follow through on what they say they will provide in follow up communication and I cant help but feel they just aren't interested in coaching my kid unless they're already high level. Would love to hear other people's experiences in the Portland metro area and any coaches they recommend.

Thanks!

I would highly recommend Trent Hamilton at Hol90.

I wouldn't spend a dime on private training unless your kid can juggle the ball at least 100X without stopping. Isaiah Escobedo is good for technical development.

If you can reach him, MK elite is a good one. Hugo rain training also, he’s esp good with girls

Both great suggestions! We've done both and loved. Although.... I think MK is too commercial now, lost credibility with the posts of meh players and is too expensive. Plus teaching the same kids the same things. Bland.

We're looing at younger coaches that will likely play in Europe soon. They're less expensive and will dial-in what they think your player needs. Consider: Yo, Moji, Barre, Thomas, Abdi, DV.

I have no reason to believe those are not great options. But when you brought up people that will not be around in the future that got me thinking about the value of a long time relationship. It has been valuable for my kid for my kids private trainer to be stable over the past few years even while the club coach has changed more often. Just something to think about. Depends on what you want.
