”Caleb has been excellent for my son (Leo) in building his knowledge and teaching him the fundamentals of football. Not only are his sessions fun, but they are hugely beneficial for kids to develop and become better players. He makes the environment one which learners thrive in and at the same time it’s clear they’ll kick onto the next level with the standard of coaching!”

My son Taio started playing football aged 8, just missing the start of the season. Having never kicked a ball before he jumped straight in as his mates at school played. 4 months in and he was only seeming slightly interested. I sent him to an iStrive camp thinking he might enjoy it and get the bug. What actually happened was unbelievable! He came away from that camp invigorated with a completely new thirst football, telling me it was the most fun that he had ever had! From there we booked him some one-to-one sessions with iStrive and he has went from strength to strength improving at a rapid pace. It’s been a joy to watch and I have to say I’m so impressed by the high coaching standards and Caleb himself. Taio now plays for 2 teams, both ran by iStrive, however before successfully trialling with these teams, Taio had to change teams twice due to his rapid improvement and in that time was scouted by Birmingham City’s talent I.D programme.
I can’t speak highly enough of them and if you’re thinking of joining I would say do it without hesitation, watch the sessions and get the feedback from you’re child to see if it’s worth it! From my personal experience signing my son up is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Taio continues to progress fast. He goes to every session he can, and still wants more!

”Wow where do I start! My son has been football obsessed since he could walk. 6 months ago Rory started 1-2-1 sessions with Caleb and Shuan after becoming frustrated with the game. 6 months on and his love for the game is back firmly and stronger than ever. He now wants to practice every time he has the opportunity. The sessions first and foremost are always fun for Rory, however the drills all have a purpose, they are never the same and they always challenge him.
Almost immediately they identified his weaknesses and put a plan in place to address them. This included showing him his small structure could become his greatest strength! He is now immensely proud of himself and his own progression, continuing to dedicate himself to improving. Every week he can’t wait to finish school and go and train with them. Thank you so much from us both.”

”The one to one sessions have been a great benefit for Harry. He has improved in all aspects of his game and the major change has been in his confidence not just on the pitch, but off it as well. His improvement has no only been noticed by myself but in many other parents who have commented on how well he has been playing. One parent has expressed that it has been a pleasure to watch him play since he started these sessions. Above all Harry really enjoys the sessions and doesn’t mind when he is pushed to work harder, which is a credit to Caleb. We will definitely be investing in further sessions.”
Mark T – Parent of Harry (Aged 13)
“We were looking for a coaching program that would push and challenge our son, Ethan. iStrive have exceeded our expectations. Caleb’s ability to break down complex football concepts into simple, understandable terms is truly impressive. The focus on game-realistic scenarios has helped Ethan develop his decision-making skills and improve his overall performance. We’re thrilled with the progress he’s made and would highly recommend iStrive to any parent who wants to give their child the best possible football education.”

iStrive's impact on my son Tommy
My son, Tommy, has always shown a real passion for football. He has natural talent, but we knew he needed the right guidance to truly excell. That’s where iStrive and Caleb came in.
Since starting 1-2-1 training with Caleb, Tommy has made incredible progress. Not only has his football improved significantly, but his enjoyment and motivation for the game have skyrocketed. He’s gone from playing in tier 2 to now thriving in the highest level in tier 1 within just two seasons!
Tommy looks up to Caleb immensely. He’s always eager to share his weekly training experiences and discuss his performances with him. Caleb has a fantastic way of bringing out the best in Tommy and making training fun and engaging.
We are incredibly grateful for the impact iStrive has had on Tommy’s football journey. We highly recommend Caleb and iStrive to any parent looking to help their child unlock their full potential on the pitch.
