Introduction: I am a former National Director of Coaching for an NYC based soccer club. I have a tremendous amount of education including USSF Licensing, USC Licencing, and two Master's Degree within the field. One is a MA in Sport-Exercise Psychology and the other is an MS in Coaching Pedagogy. We offer specialized soccer training catered to an individual or group's needs. Training sessions are individualized and based on the needs of each player. Sessions can focus on ball mastery, technical work, position-specific work, speed, agility, reaction, and decision making. Each session will challenge the player in a fun and engaging atmosphere.

Coach Patrick has coached my daughter for the past five months. My daughter had a difficult coach on her travel team. Coach Patrick helped her handle this then helped her be confident as she tried of for other teams. Her skills have really improved. As a freshman, she made her high school varsity girls soccer team. She has a busy schedule but looks forward to her training sessions with Coach Patrick.

Patrick has a deep understanding of soccer, particularly at the youth level. He has a unique understanding of childrens’ individual strengths and weaknesses which brings out the best in them. His ability to tailor a training regimen to cater to a child’s mental and physical needs helps them succeed and achieve top performance. The results with my children were visible after a season of playing for Patrick. They had increased confidence playing soccer and went up a level the following season and more importantly delevoped and heightened sense of organization and preperation off the field.

Our son has had the pleasure of working with Patrick for two seasons. The progression in his skills have been amazing when thinking back to Day 1. It is not only on the field. Off the field we have seen his attitude develop as well. Much of this has been from Patrick's positive influences.

Mr Colgan is a true professional. He knows how to build the physical skills with an understanding that sport is an emotional and mental game. I highly recommend the Sharpened Athlete!

Patrick is by far one of the most dedicated, thoughtful (in terms of feedback/direction) and patient coaches my son has worked with. He is positive and takes the time to really help the children improve on all levels. His positive impact on my son is immeasurable. Thank you, Coach Patrick.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I provide discounts for a client when they book a 4-session (5% discount) or an 8-session (10% discount) package (must be paid in full for the discount to occur). Prices vary based on the number of athletes, distance, and if there is an indoor facility usage fee.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I typically have a free 15-minute consultation about the soccer player via phone or video conference. This includes what current level they are at, strengths, weaknesses, goals and any other pertinent information needed in order to make a program best fit for the player.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
MA Sport-Exercise Psychology MS Physical Education: Coaching Pedagogy BS Physical Education USSF Licensing United Soccer Coaches: Advanced National License CPR, AED and First Aid Certified Certified NYS Teacher
