"Kamal's lesson really helped me understand some key techniques, especially focusing on proper ball control. It’s pretty clear he knows his stuff and puts effort into making sure each player gets useful feedback, though I’d say I still need more practice on consistency. Still, I feel like I made decent progress and I’d be curious to see how my skills develop after another lesson. If you’re into improving your soccer skills, trying Kamal’s lesson could be worthwhile.

Hello, my name is Robert Reyes, I am a soccer coach/trainer in love with this sport. As a Latino I live soccer intensely, I try to instill in my players the necessary values to practice this beautiful sport. One of the problems that I notice in soccer here in the USA is the lack of understanding of the game, and I am not referring to the rules of the game, I am referring to understanding the essence of it, to be a great player you must dominate the field in everything its splendor, and that is my job, to make you develop your maximum potential. Many people believe that soccer is only played with the feet, but they are wrong, you need to train your mind to achieve the proposed objectives.
