TESTIMONIALS
I engaged Jake to do some one on one coaching with my son Ethan to help improve his skills. Jake has an amazing ability to pass on his knowledge and explain drills and skills in a way that is easy for juniors to understand. Ethan has loved working with Jake and these extra sessions have resulted in a significant improvement and his skills, confidence and as a result, his enjoyment of the game.
What stands out about Jake is his ability to create a positive and inclusive environment. The kids always feel like they’re part of something special and his approach has made a huge difference in how they work together on the field.
I really appreciate how Jake communicates with Leo. He has a way of explaining complex strategies in a way that’s easy for kids to understand, making Leo feel more confident. Jake also encourages each child, highlighting their strengths and offering constructive feedback where necessary. The kids love coming to practice because they feel supported, motivated, and engaged.
My kids always look forward to their AFL sessions with Jake. They’re not only learning new skills but having a great time in the process. Jake knows how to balance fun and development, and you can tell the kids enjoy the games and exercises while still getting better at their footy. It’s clear that Jake brings energy and enthusiasm to every session!
