What are people saying about Coach Merola?
“I have know Tony for over 15 years and have always been impressed by his impact on both his programs and on his players. I've witnessed him work at all levels of football and his energy and passion for the game have always shone through.”
“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.”
“Whilst playing ECNL under Coach Merola he helped me develop my game as an offensive minded player which helped open up pathways for me to play in England. The knowledge he has of the game and experience of working with all kinds players makes him an excellent coach that anyone would be lucky to play for.”
“Tony is hands down one of the most passionate and compassionate coaches I have had the privilege of working with. I have seen first hand his training methods and he is one I fully trust to train my groups.”
“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.”
