★★★★★Yuri Carrillo de AguileraTheir philosophy is innovative and aligned with our family values. Samuel has grown significantly—not only in skill, but also in confidence and commitment. We discovered them while still in Chile, and once we arrived in the U.S., we knew we’d join—and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend them for any family seeking serious, values-driven youth soccer development.
★★★★★Shad GillWe had originally signed our son up for a Path to Pro 4-day camp but due to our own personal circumstances were unable to participate in the camp. Path to Pro was very flexible and allowed my son to do some excellent 1on1 sessions with Hagen instead. The sessions were very well done and my son felt like he got a lot out of them. In fact my son said that as the sessions went on throughout the week, Hagen was able to adjust the sessions to my son's strengths/weaknesses to make the most out of the time. Hagen also gave us his thoughts on areas that need further focus on our own time which is greatly appreciated. Finally Hagen's son sent a follow-up email with some additional resources we had talked about. All-around a great experience!
★★★★★Christian B.Excellent, organized and fun professional German coaches. My 7-year-old had a great time and improved in just a week with the Path to Pro team. Topnotch equipment and uniforms to train with, as well as games that mix fun, competition and technical development. If you are looking for professional, European level soccer, this is the team to use. Unlike many other programs in the area that claim to be affiliated with large European teams, but only lease their trademarks for marketing purposes, these are ACTUAL Bundesliga coaches who have coached in professional European soccer matches. Dont be fooled!
★★★★★Mark and Julie FerranteAlex coached our U23 team and was absolutely tremendous. His experience both as a player and coach in Germany and the US, was a great resource for players looking to play pro and in college. His coaching lessons go past anything you do on the field. He was by far and away the best coach I’ve ever had, and his technical expertise made me a better player. His sessions were challenging but fun, and those are a big reason why I got into coaching. Highly recommend for kids looking to get to the next level, his Dad coaching professionally in Germany at big clubs. Can’t find this kind of experience anywhere else.
★★★★★Mathias HülsenbuschI had great experiences with Hagen Schmidt as my Coach. He definitely knows what players need to develop and get better!
