Testimonials
“I would like to
take this opportunity to express my appreciation again for your assistance in
having my daughter participate in the Soccer camp. It was now our 3rd Camp
and again I was very impressed in the manner in which it was conducted.” Janet Prescott, Soccer Mom “I wanted to
thank you for the opportunity and all your help and advice at the ID Camp. I
had a really awesome time playing and hanging out with the other girls at the
camp and even getting to know some of your current players.” Kevin Taylor, Vandergrift, PA “Thank you for
the great coaching sessions and games this past weekend. We liked the fact
that you and your staff were very friendly to all of the girls out there this
weekend. My daughter had a great time and really enjoyed your coaching staff
and the campus.” Tom Fischer, Uniontown, PA “I wanted to say
thank you for a great camp. It was an awesome experience!” Shannon Walsh, Lisbon, Ohio “I attended your
camp last week. It really opened my eyes up to new views of the game. I
learned a variety of new things that will change how I react to certain
situations on the field. Thank you for that and also for making my second
experience at Kiski School one to remember.” Bryan Shaffer, Brockway, PA “I attended the
weekend’s clinic session and enjoyed meeting you and the staff and the topics
brought on and off the pitch. I appreciate the coaching advice and learning
new game skills. With the staggered camp format, it definitely felt less
intimidating than having all campers present at the same time.” Jeff Coleman, Weirton, WV "I
am so thrilled that my dad found out about Hare Goalkeeper Academy. The
various camps and clinics that I have attended since 2012 have helped me out
an unbelievable amount. Coach Hare does a tremendous job fine tuning small
details as well as showing the basics to a new keeper. He teaches these
aspects of the game in a way that is fun and easy to learn. Going to the
camps have changed my path in soccer. Before the camps I wasn't sure if I
would be able to play college soccer or even if I wanted to play. Since going
to Hare's camps and clinics I am confident and excited to play at the
collegiate level. I just completed my senior year as captain of our high
school team and was named an all section Goalkeeper. Hare Goalkeeper Academy
is a great opportunity to practice and get better in a 1-on-1 way, while in a
group setting. You get the best of both worlds. I have to credit Coach Hare
for a large part of my success as a goalkeeper." “We are delighted that Mia is able to attend another of
your goalie camps, She really responds well to you and has learned so much
from you. In fact, we had noticed over the past season or two that Mia has
not been diving as much to make saves. After the session on January 31st
where you focused a lot on diving, she made a diving save in her game the
following Saturday. It was PISA’s “game of the week”, and Mia had a shut out. I know that it was largely due to your
instruction.” Beth Carrarini, Apollo, PA “My daughter Nicole attended the Goalkeeper &
Striker Camp and had a wonderful experience. I just can't say enough good things
about the camp and the impression it had on her. Certainly she learned a lot
of goalkeeping skills, but the camp also built up her confidence in general.
The coaches really took a personal interest in the kids and made them each
feel special. Nicole's already asked to attend next year.” Nancy Robinson, Soccer Mom “I want to thank Jerry and his wonderful staff for their
wonderful summer goalkeeper's training camp this summer. They put forth
100% effort in making sure all kids (and mine) were focusing on picking up
their teachings and they made it enjoyable for the kids to want to learn
it! Both Jerry and other coaches did a great job and my sons skills
improved significantly and noticeably after their sessions. Can't wait
until next session.” Joan Kovach, Butler, PA “Hare Goalkeeper Camp is the most effective camp I have ever attended. Seriously! It is the highlight of my summer. Jerry is very knowledgeable and so sincere in his efforts to help us improve. He makes every training session fun and intense.” Nolan Bowers, Churchill, PA “I just wanted to let you know that you have really
inspired me to be the best that I am capable of being. Your camp made me more
dedicated, more confident, and more disciplined in every aspect of being an
athlete. You really have no idea how much your camp has helped
me. Thank you.” Josh Newman, Pittsburgh, PA “In the five days I spent at the Hare Goalkeeper Speed
& Agility Camp, I learned details I was never taught before. Coach Hare’s
methods are unique and effective. His calm and somewhat relaxed
demeanor made it easier to acquire the information he was teaching us.
His thorough and true understanding of goalkeeping fitness really came
through.” Rachel Adams, Sarver, PA “Hare Goalkeeper Academy is just what youth soccer
players need here. Coach Hare and his staff were totally professional and very,very good with the kids. I
will highly recommend this soccer academy to everyone in need of good goalie
training. Thanks HGA, keep up the good work....” John Warren, Soccer Dad “I just wanted to tell you that Karen could not stop
talking about what a great time she had at camp this week. She talked
the entire ride home and all through lunch (which is a big deal for her at
this age). She is already talking about how she can save the money to
go to camp next year. She loved meeting all the girls from other places
and loved sharing & hearing stories with girls who have so much in common
with each other. I don’t think we (her family) understand what a rare
breed the female goalkeepers are. It seems like the girls formed a
great bond with each other. I have never seen her so excited and happy
after a camp experience. She is sore and tired but it’s a good kind of
“achy ness” and exhaustion. Under your orders…she is relaxing at the
pool this afternoon! Leann Jacobs, Apollo, PA “Thanks for all your time and effort running such a
fabulous camp. Carrie had a great time and learned so much. She
really liked the “Diving Mat Workout”. It definitely pushed
her! Thanks again for everything you have done for her over this
summer!” Lorie Bates, Zelienople, PA “I
started working with Coach Hare as a freshman in high school.
The only reason I was a goalie was because I am tall so I really did not know
how to play the position well, I did not even know how to dive. In just
one year of working with Coach Hare I was the starting goalie on the varsity
team and I set the team record for most shutouts in a season with the backup
goalie (15) and helped the team set the record for most wins in a season
(22). Because of Coach Hare's work Shady Side Academy always
have great goalkeepers, which leads to great teams. Coach Hare's
knowledge of the game and the position is hard to match.
He puts in many hours of work looking at the next opponent we
will play and then he trains us for that team like professionals
would. I have never entered a game wondering what the strengths of the
other team are because of the way Coach Hare prepares us for the game.
He is a kind, thoughtful, and genuine person on top of his great
coaching ability and I am lucky and so glad I got the chance to
work with him. He truly cares about everyone he trains and is even
helping me train for my college tryout which he is doing just
to help me get better. I give him the highest recommendation for anyone
looking for a great coach who knows the game and is a class act through
and through. Thank you for all of your help Coach it has paid
off!!” Sean Hannon, Pittsburgh, PA (Shady Side Academy 2009 Graduate) “As the parent of the
youngest camper in the session and first time camper, I was very impressed
with the care and attention Jerry and his team gave to all campers, but not
only that I was even more impressed with the campers themselves, I spent a
day observing and the campers all showed qualities of true character, skill,
respect and appreciation." Kim Boller - Parent “I wanted to drop you an email to let you know that I
loved the camp that you provided. It was a pleasure watching my
daughter not only having fun but learning so much. You pinpointed
aspects of her game that she has been dying to improve. I always say
that she wants more data, input, and knowledge. You gave her all of
that and also peace of mind to allow herself to work on those parts of her
game. Molly is a lot like her father in that she wants to be perfect
every time and allows frustration to cloud her ability. When you said
"and relax" at the end of each session it gave her a moment to
catch her breath and allowed her to re-focus. Molly went up there very
excited about working out with you and returned more excited about putting
what she learned to use. Your teaching techniques are very specific and
explained precisely. Your honesty in coaching also goes a long
way. You tell Molly exactly what she should be doing for her age and
what the next step is. That helps put the process in a frame that Molly
can tackle and work on. I like your way of working on skills and breaking
down each part of the game for the total package.” Dawn Winters, Mom “Both our daughter, Katie, and our son, Chris, have
been fortunate to train with Mr. Hare for the past two years. While
neither Katie nor Chris possess the physical size that is valued for
goalkeepers, the technical skills, tactical skills, and tough mentality that
Mr. Hare has taught them have taken them to high levels of play. We are
grateful to him for helping Katie and Chris stop goals on the soccer field
and reach goals off the soccer field!” Bob and Julie Garrison, Soccer Parents "Training with Coach Hare during the winter and
spring seasons has not only made me a better goalkeeper, but it has also
provided me with the confidence needed to play the game. For two years, Coach
Hare has challenged and pushed me to the limit, allowing me to reach my peak
performance. With his help, I earned a four- year athletic scholarship to
Delaware State University and will be the starting goalkeeper. I recommend
this program to anyone who wants to become a better goalkeeper and anyone who
is persistent and does not mind hard work. Coach Hare, thanks for pushing and
believing in me, I won't let you down!” “I thought the HGA Camp was the most fun time I had all
summer. It is an excellent way for a new keeper to learn and a expert keeper to test his or
her skills. The camp is also a great way to meet other keepers and share
stories about past time games. The HGA camp can teach you a lot and keep you
in shape while having fun." Jim Reider- 14 “Coach Hare started training me my freshman year of high school. I started training with only moderate experience, with two years of his training, I was able to become starting goalkeeper my junior and senior years. With Jerry’s training, inspiration, and motivational techniques, our team was able to make playoffs both years. For me personally, I would like to give him credit for my achievements as a goalkeeper, which include the record for lowest goals against average my senior season. Despite choosing to concentrate on my education in college, I was offered scholarships to several schools, all due to Jerry’s expert training. I have complete confidence that, with Coach Hare’s training, you will become a better goalkeeper.” Michael A. Miller, New York, NY (Shady Side Academy 2005 Graduate) "When I was looking around for a goalkeeper
trainer for my daughter, Coach Hare came highly recommended by the assistant
coach of Jocelyn’s soccer team-- and has turned out to be one of the best
personal recommendations ever made to me. Jocelyn has been training with
Coach Hare for almost a year now and the improvements in her technical skills
and (perhaps more importantly) her self-confidence have been huge. He has
been able to cultivate her own natural talent for the goalie position and has
"professionalized" her technique to a great extent. The head coach
of her soccer team has noticed the improvement in her skills level and in her
ability to "read the position" in the short time that she has been
training with Coach Hare. Jocelyn developed a good rapport with Coach Hare
right out of the gate as a result of his easy-going yet demanding approach to
training. She likes (and needs) a challenge- and she definitely gets that
during training sessions with Coach Hare! I would not hesitate to recommend
Hare Goalkeeper Academy to anyone looking for professional-level expertise in
goalie training." "My son has been a goalkeeper for some years and
could not find anyone that possessed technical knowledge and good
communication skills, until we found Jerry Hare. Not only does he teach well,
he critiques well. My son looks forward to the workouts he has set up for the
goalkeepers! He has increased his knowledge and skills as a goalkeeper in the
short time he has worked with Jerry." "Jerry Hare has been coaching my daughter Laura
for the last 4 years. In this time her play has improved immensely and she
has gained better confidence in her goalie play. Jerry has stress the
fundamentals as well as the mental part of goalkeeping. His coaching is a big
reason Laura was able to play up one year for ODP, and she has been selected
for the last 3 years for the PA West ODP team. I would encourage all parents
of goalies to have Jerry coach their child. His coaching will improve their
game and confidence." "I loved camp! It really helped me learn on
what I needed to work on more and helped me to keep developing some of my
other skills. Overall, it was just a lot of fun!" Wendy Carpenter - 13 "My daughter has been training with Jerry year
round for the past year and a half. During this time, her skills have
improved immensely. Jerry's training focuses on the technical, tactical, and mental
skills required to play this very demanding position. His effort, along with
her hard work, has prepared her in a manner that has allowed her to play at
the highest levels of the Alle-Kiski Area Girls
Soccer league (AKAGS) and the Pennsylvania Olympic Development Program
(ODP)”. |
