Testimonials of A-Game
What Athletes Are Saying About A-Game Coaching
“Steven’s coaching has been a game changer for my daughter. He started working with her in her senior year of high school. She now is a D1 college softball player. As a freshman she broke into the starting lineup, and I have seen her confidence and performance growing each week academically and athletically. .Most importantly I can see the tools she is learning is setting her up for life long success past athletics. It is an investment we are glad we made for her to be her best!”
Scott Emanuelli
Parent of Softball Player
“I have always had the dream of playing division 1 softball in college and now it’s a reality. I knew I was good but felt I could use more confidence. Steven helped me increase my confidence and positive self-talk. Most importantly he helped me in giving myself grace, or in Stevens words: “self -compassion,” when I would mentally beat myself up. On and off the field I now have tools to deal with the stress of being a student and how to stay positive, confident, and manage my time effectively to balance school and softball.”
Mikalyn Emanuelli
UCSD D1 Softball Player
“My wife and I didn’t really know what to expect when we hired Steven for our high school son- A freshman baseball and football player. We couldn’t be happier with the results. He is now a starter on his varsity baseball team and was just rated number 1 academically in his class. He has helped our son to deal with setbacks on and off the field. We have seen improvements in his communication skills, confidence, and overall performance. We are so glad we invested in his program and feel this is going to be a great head start to his life journey!”
