My daughter , Emily, has been working with Rachel Wood for several months now. Emily comes home from her sessions with Rachel energized. Her sessions are fun but tough. She definitely understands my kiddo and pushes her to be the best she can be. As important, if not more important, is the strong female role model Rachel has become for my daughter. Rachel has connected with her on a different level. They have become friends. Now , not only is Emily a better soccer player, she is much more confident on AND off the pitch. As a parent, that's the best benefit thus far working with Rachel We have the best of both worlds. Terrific coach and an outstanding role model and person.

After only a few sessions, Coach Rachel has quickly become a valuable part of our daughter's training routine. Her proactive communication style made scheduling a breeze. Her friendly & upbeat demeanor won our daughter over instantly. She quickly assessed our daughter's skill-level and crafted a routine that was tailored to her strengths & weaknesses; incorporating the things that we asked her to focus on in a way that was both challenging and fun. In a one-hour session, our daughter is getting more touches on the ball and more variety in how those touches are accumulated than she would normally gain during an entire week of team-training. Playing for club teams and attending camps in a somewhat male-dominated coaching landscape has presented our daughter with very few in-sport female role models. This is an area where Rachel's background and the way that she employs it in her coaching adds a lot of value for us. Our daughter has big soccer dreams and working with someone like Rachel affords her a real-world example of how her goals might be achievable through hard work and persistence. Rachel manages to do all of this while keeping the focus on having fun and working hard. We couldn't be happier so far!

Coach Rachel is not only a fantastic, talented, and professional soccer coach, but she is an outstanding role model and positive influence for my 14 year old daughter. My daughter has had multiple 1:1 sessions with Rachel and without a doubt there is improved ball skills and soccer smarts, but maybe even more importantly, my daughters confidence grows after every session. I highly recommend Rachel as a soccer coach.
