“We are beyond grateful to Serge for not only training Emma but also being her mentor. He genuinely cares for his athletes and spends the time knowing them. She has the highest of goals and from the beginning he has invested himself in her, believes in her and is doing everything he can to help her conquer these goals. He builds from the inside to the outside promoting discipline and mental toughness as well as building the best version of her as a person and as an athlete. When he's not training Emma, you can find him on the sidelines of her games, making her training videos or taking notes of what needs to be worked on. Very detailed and organized in every training and expects hard work and respect. He is a game changer! Grateful, thankful and blessed to be part of Faith Goalkeeping.”

“I remember when Serge showed up as a keeper coach for Cincy SC one day. He worked with Joaquin and said he had potential. Joaquin was entering the summer of his freshman year at Summit Country Day school and we wanted to get him ready for soccer. Serge started from the ground up with Joaquin! He drilled the basics into him every session. And with mistakes came consequences. Push-ups and laps became a steady reminder to improve and concentrate (focus) during drills. The little things add up! And over the few years of training, Joaquin learned discipline, technique and commitment to his goalkeeping craft. Thank you Serge for setting the groundwork for Joaquin.”

“As parents of a goalkeeper, you learn very quickly what a multi-faceted and demanding position it is, that it requires many different skill sets. You look for a trainer who you can trust to guide a young athlete and help them develop not only the physical skills, but also the game knowledge and mental fortitude it takes to be successful in the net. We found all of this in Serge and Faith Goalkeeping. From Charlotte’s very first session, Serge established a rapport with her and an understanding of what type of keeper she was. He built her training sessions and homework around this knowledge which helped her develop at a rate faster than we could ever have imagined. Her speed, agility and quick reaction times have increased dramatically, her diving and stance forms have been fine-tuned so that she is now stopping shots that even six months ago she would not have gotten to. Most importantly, Charlotte’s confidence in her ability and decision-making has grown to where she no longer hesitates or second guesses herself in the net or the box. This is an integral part of being a successful goalkeeper and something she struggled with before working with Serge. We have been extremely happy with Charlotte’s progress through her training with Serge and look forward to seeing her continued development and success over the next years as she continues to work with him.”

“Words can’t express how much we owe to this guy. Massive growth and development in the position, along with personal development in being a better leader and individual. Don’t know where we would be without you.”
