What are people saying about Coach Merola?
“I have known Tony 30 years since our days together at Wrexham Football Club. Even then he displayed a deep knowledge of the game and there was never any doubt he would go on to be a top coach. I would have no hesitation recommending Tony to anybody who was thinking about the development of their child.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Tony Merola coached my son and with his positive coaching style and leadership, he re-built my son's confidence and restored his love of the game. His ability to connect with individuals with his passion for the game is hard to find.”
“Tony's coaching philosophy goes beyond the pitch, creating an environment that fosters not only technical prowess but also instills values such as teamwork, discipline, and a genuine love for the game. It's evident that he nurtures individual players with a deep understanding of the game.”
“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.”
