To Matt Borg – Director of Coerver Coaching Illawarra

I have had plenty of feedback from the parents about how much fun and enjoyment the kids are having at Coerver training each Friday. It is good to see the kids all having fun as well as learning some fantastic new skills that we all watched them put into practice on game day.

I think the proof is in the girls results as only a week after Coerver training commenced our girls grew in self belief and confidence that started to show on the field with better kicks and passing in general play resulting in better teamwork all round and better still a string of wins taking us from the bottom of the table to well established in the top four.

The parents and I have no doubt that the training programmes you and Carol have delivered to the girls in our team have contributed to their further enjoyment of the game and development of their overall soccer skills.

Once again thanks for all your help and patients with delivering such a great training schedule, it has been an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Cheers, John - Figtree U11 Girls

Thanks for a great holiday camp. Corey has just watched 'Luis the coerver kid' on Utube and has decided that he is going to be the next 9yr old Luis! look out - here he comes. The Coerver Illawarra team have fostered Corey's passion for soccer and created an amazing drive in my boy to succeed in all he does. A huge thank you to the team! And a big thanks to Matt!

Hi Matt,

Thank you, he is so disapointed that he his missing the rest of the camp but looking forward to the skills clinic. He is so excited about soccer now and loving it since starting coerver and his soccer has improved so much.

Dear Matt,

I wanted to write and say thanks for introducing Corey to Coerver. He has thoroughly enjoyed all his soccer and I relate most of that to the work you and your team have done at the Figtree junior soccer club last season, your summer training academy and the national training camp in Canberra.He is already talking about the next training academy and also the next national training camp with a number of goals he wants to achieve. And for a young boy it is fantastic for him to be wanting to work towards something and also be focusing on looking after his body so he can achieve his goals.

So – a HUGE thank you to you and your team for the great work you do.

We will definitely be talking about our great experience at the national camp to all our Wollongong friends and Corey is determined to have as many of his soccer friends at the camp next year so he can have an even better time than he did this year.

All the best

Kylie-Ann and Michael Gavan

Thank you for all your help with Madison over the past 12 months. There has been an amazing improvement in her skills and confidence which is a testament to the Coerver Program and your ability as a coach.

You and Matt have been such a huge part of Noah's life last year with Coerver, he has just blossomed as an individual in so many ways & I strongly believe Coerver has had a lot to do with that.

Our experience with Coerver Coaching Illawarra has proven to be a positive experience for Kia. Kai began in the program with very limited ball skills. To date Kai's ball skills have dramatically increased along nwith his self confidence. He now loves playing football within a group. Kai has developed a great rapport with all the coaches and we would highly recommend the program.

As a parent of a child involved with the Coerver program, the dedication and high level of professionalism demonstrated by Matt Borg and his team in coaching the students both on and off the field.

The level of knowledge and positive attitude communicated no doubt encourages all age groups to excel in their desire to be better football players. The variety of training Coerver offer builds both confidence and importantly technical ability. This level of confidence and improvement in technical ability is no more clearly evident in my own son. If only for these reasons that i would highly recommend Matt and his team to any aspiring young player.

Matt Borg was my football coach this year while I was playing in the Under 15’s Wollongong FC Wolves. Whilst being in the hands of Matt for one year, I was selected for the New South Wales Metropolitan Team, offered a scholarship for the New South Wales Institute of Sport and just recently I have been offered a scholarship to attend the Australian Institute of Sport. I owe a lot of this to Matt because if it wasn’t for the freedom he gave me on the field to show what I could do and the belief he had in my ability I definitely would not have had the confidence in myself that I now have.

Besides the fact that Matt’s style of coaching improves player’s technical ability immensely, the confidence he has in his player’s ability and the freedom he gives them to express themselves shows in the results that he has achieved this year. He helped our team to win the minor premiership and make it to the grand final in his first year of coaching. Another extremely important skill that Matt stresses to all of his players is the European style of football which includes precision passing, off the ball movement and correct body positions which has helped me out a lot. Matt also introduces different things to his training sessions to keep his team performing at their fullest potential. Things like pilates, swimming and core strength exercises give his players what they need to continue playing the best football needed to compete at the highest level in NSW.

As well as being a terrific coach he was also my friend and someone I will always look up to and respect. Matt is the best coach I have ever had and I highly recommend him to any aspiring young player.

I have known Matt Borg for a period of five years, training throughout much of this time under his guidance as a coach.

Over the course of these five years, his standard of both skills and tactical trainign, within Australia and abroad on development tours has been of the highest calibre.

This training and Matt's ver professional attitude toward it has been a key factor in not only developing and improving myself as a footballer, but has been an influence on myself as a person and in doing so helped me reach my goals and will continue to reach further goald throughout life and my footballing career.

To whom it may concern

I Jacob Borg was coached privately by Matt borg for a period of time in which he had a professional,positive and ambitious attitude towards coaching. In this time I made my first rep team at the age of 12 ,he taught me skill work and was always uplifting towards me .

I later was reunitied with Matt when I left rep soccer to play in his local champion team and was learning a different role as a player .As a team coach I found him to be very tactical and very encouraging. I am now 17 years old and I have made the A.I.S, N.S.W. C.H.S, AND THE AUSTRALIAN YOUTH OLYMPIC TEAM
