What are people saying about Coach Merola?
“Coach Tony was such a positive influence on my son and his team. At the beginning of the season they looked like they were 1 level above bumble bee soccer but by the end of the season were using the entire field and playing positions properly. He connected with the kids through their passion for soccer and helped them continue to love the sport.”
“In addition to improvements in his technical skills, our son's football IQ has flourished since he started working with Coach Merola. He's not only a smarter player, he's having more fun on the pitch.”
“I have know Tony for many years and during this time seen him excel as a coach, leveraging his extensive expertise from his professional playing days. Exceptional in his ability to connect with players, he skillfully fosters their development both technically and tactically.”
“I've had the privilege of playing for Tony and he truly addresses all aspects of the game in the principles he has developed. His wealth of coaching experience in the UK and US shows. He connects with players on a personal level, helping individuals and teams improve and to perform in competition whilst making every session enjoyable. From youth grade to the professional player, I highly recommend working with Tony.”
“Myself and Tony have know each other since our Wrexham Football Club days. Tony has a rich history of developing many youngsters which have gone on to be professional footballers. He understands the technical needs of players which provides the platform for them to flourish in the future.”
“Having known Tony for 35 years through footbalI, family and work, I can honestly say his passion for life and our beautiful game is second to none. Seeing him continue to coach in the game after his playing days shows his passion for the game and I was pleased to see him achieve his UEFA A licence through the Welsh FA and take that learning over to the United States. I had no doubt that Tony would go on to be a top coach and would recommend him to anyone who wants to develop within the game.”
