Lori Skurkis, Wyoming Valley West HS, PA 2003

last summer it was one coach for 30+ goalies. I got a good work out but I
didn’t improve at (clinic name deleted).
Kim Sawlsvile, Wilson HS, Pennsylvania
This clinic was everything I hoped for and more. I learned how to get beyond the fundamentals of blocking the ball; now I control it.
CJ Foldberg, Atascadero High School, California
As I look back I see myself doing the drills. I see Steve,
too. I am not expected to do everything great the first time, nor am I to go
into the season in great shape. Steve didn’t just show us things to do
now…but things to do later in the season as we improve more. Steve got in
the pool with us and showed us and helped us. That was GREAT. He did
everything we did and more.
L.M., Live Oak, California
It was great! This is my first year being a goalkeeper and I an now prepared to take on anything this season.

Great individual attention that will make a big difference in skill levels.

that extra time with me.
C.H., Orlando, Florida
Everything learned was taught very efficiently and
effectively. I’m glad we were given a packet reflection everything we did.
L.S., San Jose, California
It was long but very beneficial to me. I know what drills I
need to work on most to become a better goalie.
M.N., San Jose, California
It was a great clinic.
K.F., Davis, California
Awesome clinic, learned a lot. Very tiring!!
A.L., Porterville, California
What drill(s) did you benefit most from?
I really think that all the drills were great and each served a specific purpose in the game and gives the goalie the control of their body and the ball.
Gina Mieras, Jenison HS, MI 2004
The side to side drills I benefited from the most because
now I know I have to get my legs stronger so I can get higher and more body
out of the water. Thank you so much for coming to Florida and having this
clinic, it helped me a lot and my legs are already starting to get stronger.
M.M., Orlando, Florida
The side-to-side ones--I had the hardest time getting to the corners and now I can with more ease!
Vanessa Tomasso, Willow Glen, California
The 4 meter drill.
Nicole Rasmussen, Santa Ynez HS, California
Side-to-side
and angles.
Andrew Neuwirth, Marin Catholic HS, California
The quick hand drill.
Scott Head, California HS, California
Lob shot. It’s hard to block and it helped.
Melanie Stock, Oakmont HS, California
The side-to-side drill and the penalty shot drill.
Anna Gossett, The Hill School,
Pennsylvania
Pulling the ball underwater and the diving behind the bar
drill.
Jennifer Jones, College Park HS,
California
Probably the conditioning and leg drills or the drill about
low corner baiting.
C.H., Orlando, Florida
The robot drill and low corner drill.
L.S., San Jose, California
Pull-downs and the side-to-side.
D.B., Northwood, California
The angle drill from a shot at the wing to near side low.
Also, it was great to have gone over a pre-game warm-up so I can have a
workout that’s structured before a game.
M.N., San Jose, California
The walking laps…even though I hated it!!! See how it
helps..& I will be walking laps a lot! I really like pull-downs in the cage.
My heart got pumping and my legs did too.
L.M., Live Oak, California
Side-to-side, angle and cheating drill, and with more
practice that staying up drill as well as the staying up drill after you
make a mistake. Using the ball as a floatation device to your benefit.
K.F., Davis, California
I think what I benefited most from was when we worked with
the ropes. That will allow me to cover so much more of the cage. Those
angels I’d always known-but I’d never been taught to save inside the cage
before. Thank you.
A.L., Porterville, California
Pull-downs in the cage and learning how to cheat w/o getting
caught.
G.P., San Luis Obispo, California
