Will Martel Coaching

"Will’s ability to connect with my players, so players can connect with themselves is highly effective. Breaking through the athlete’s personal barriers to give that extra confidence and focus on the sport is what Will has brought to my team."

“He helped her understand ways to calm herself when she felt nervous or overwhelmed and allowed her to regain her confidence on and off the field.”

"Coach Will helped me grow stronger as a mental and physical player, he helped me set goals and helped me find ways to achieve or start making my path to achieve them in the future. He also helped me with any stress or anxiety I had before games and taught me about those feelings and how to control them for the better."

"He helped me with my anxiety and was super funny and fun to be around which made the team more loose."

"I have seen a pretty big change in the way my daughter prepares for a game and how she processes it afterwards. I think she is more positive, a little calmer, and I’ve seen more motivation to practice at home and take more of a personal responsibility in her development."

"In my mind, the one on one discussions with each of our daughters were really beneficial for them. I love the approach that they came home with that it’s not a “can-do” but “will-do”. The positivity that he is instilled in the girls is awesome and I love to see it!"

"In college soccer, the pressure to perform a certain way is constant. Will has taught me how to embrace pressure as a privilege, turning it into motivation. I’ve become a more confident player because of it. The mental skills I’ve learned from Will are helping me on the field, but they have also transferred to other areas of my life. I feel more balanced, motivated, and ready to accept anything that comes my way."

“Coach Will has taught me how to break things down (my goals and skills) in ways that make it easier for me to complete and digest. When things have a pathway they seem more achievable.

I feel I have become more capable of understanding and dealing with my mindset and emotions in a positive way.”

“I myself am a counselor but there comes a point in time when mom should not be counseling her child any longer.

My son is a different player on the field now. Coach Will has helped my son gain incredibly valuable mental and emotional skills on and off the field which is helping his soccer game along with helping him handle situations in real life.”
