Here's what OUR clients have to say
"EJ is one of the best when it comes to player development in an individual or small group setting. Not only are his trainings fun and intense, but they focus on giving players the tools that are needed to play the game at the highest level. His combination of technical trainings that develop the physical components of the game, such as speed and footwork, are executed in such a way that a player is able to understand how to apply these skills in the tactical decision making required in the game. Furthermore, EJ has a great understanding of what how to push kids to achieve their potential, and is great at motivating players to get the most out of them. If you are looking to take your game to the next level, there is no better trainer than EJ"
- Paul Aur - Seattle United West Region Coaching Director
"EJ is a wonderful coach! EJ’s training sessions are a terrific blend of high-energy skill development and motivational workout. Our older son benefited greatly from EJ’s technical instruction and from his boundless enthusiasm, and we have enjoyed watching our son make huge strides this year with his club and EPD teams. At the same time, our younger son has thrived with EJ as his club team coach. EJ sets a high bar, and he expects great things from his players — while at the same time keeping everyone energized, focused, and positive. We would happily recommend EJ as a trainer and as a coach to anyone who is willing to work hard on improving their game."
- Warren Ratliff - Player Parent
"Working with EJ has been an absolute gift for our son. His positive approach to developing the whole player has inspired, motivated, and developed our son into a stronger player. He takes the time to assess each individual player and then hones in on specific, targeted skills - this time and attention has made all the difference. Every player should be able to train from someone with so much knowledge, expertise, and compassion. EJ is nothing short of phenomenal."
- The Ackley Family - Player Parents
"The individual sessions that EJ creates are not only functional, but fun for the player. Players not only come back raving about how much fun they had, they come back better players."

- Peter & Christi Yi - Player Parents
Coach Ebrima is a fantastic Coach. His drills are exactly like how professional soccer players train. You can easily tell from his drills that he himself played professionally which is a big thing for us when we were looking for a good soccer coach. Our son has trained with several good coaches but after our first session we found Coach Ebrima’s training to be of a completely different level. The intensity level of his trainings are also very high. If your son or daughter is a serious soccer player and wants to get to the next level, we cannot think of any other coach in the Seattle area who has this level of training.
- Sanjay Biswas - Player Parent
I had the pleasure of working with EJ for a season of high school soccer and some small training activities. Besides being a very dedicated husband and father, EJ brings his passion for soccer to those in his community and beyond. He is very humble, hard working and composed. He dedicates many hours a day most days in the year to helping individuals and teams improve their skills and tactics. Most all of them both young kids through college age players appreciate his efforts and feel their game is better for the experience. He is above thinking of himself and dedicates much of his time to those who don't normally have a chance for high level training. When EJ commits to a project he gets it done faithfully. Please consider supporting his efforts.
- Bill Wilkins - Coach
Just one year ago, I was a select player with lofty aspirations of making a premier team. When I started playing with EJ, I quickly began improving through the intense but extremely fun sessions he held. I am now playing on a highly competitive premier team because of all the skills I have built up training in private sessions, group sessions, and even a boys soccer camp EJ invited me to. Thanks to EJ, I am now loving soccer more than ever and playing to my highest ability.
Thanks so much EJ!!

We feel very grateful for EJ. His trainings are always creative, fun and challenging. They are a great complement to club training. EJ pushes my daughter to challenge herself and offers her great opportunities to push her limits. Thanks to EJ’s trainings, she’s developed into a stronger and more confident player.
