Testimonials
"Prof. Gerhard Benthin has been a featured trainer for the youth players at Cruz Azul USA since 2007. His accomplishments with our players played a major role in the U-17 team's success at winning CalSouth’s LAFC Fall 2010 Championship. His training clinics are focused and technically challenging. He develops an excellent and immediate rapport with the players motivating them to their peak performance. He is by far the best trainer available in Southern California."
"As a High School and Club Coach it became apparent to me early on that our community offered many recreational soccer opportunities in the way of camps during the summer but was lacking in any higher level clinical training for advanced soccer players. Bringing the "Brazil Soccer USA" program to our community was one of the best decisions we ever made. Gerhard's knowledge of the technical and tactical aspects of the game and his ability to teach them as well as instill discipline in our players of all levels has helped the success of our programs over the years. As a coach being able to observe and interact with the "Brazil Soccer USA" program has been invaluable to me as a coach. Gerhard's knowledge around the training of the position of Goalkeeper I have found to be exceptional. We look forward to kicking off our pre-season with "Brazil Soccer USA" every year."
"My son has trained with several goalkeeper trainers. Gerhard was the 3rd trainer. He will be the last one! Training with Gerhard is harder than the other guys for sure but the results have been rewarding. Rich went from playing for a gold team to playing for the Cal South ODP team and fighting for a college scholarship. I really see the difference in his play and training. Rich says:” Gerhard is a beast” but truly Gerhard has turned Rich into a commanding keeper and a completely fit athlete. Next up is college soccer. Rich has a number of choices thanks to his and Gerhard’s hard work."
"Coach Gerhard kindly agreed to take up coaching my son, Constantin, and I can unequivocally say his game has improved by leaps and bounds. Coach Gerhard has been helping Constantin lay a solid technical foundation with dedication, patience and understanding and as a result, in a short few months, Constantin’s game is up to par with kids a year older than him. Consequently Constantin is a popular kid at school and all his classmates want him in their team. Coach Gerhard is not only a great trainer but a great person as well. We are very grateful to have come across Coach Gerhard for his devotion, professionalism and tangible results in Constantin’s game."
"Both of my daughters have been training with Gerhard for a few years now. They play at the Gold & Silver Elite club levels. The technical aspects of the game, footwork, and skills Gerhard teaches have been invaluable for them. This year, my oldest daughter had the honor of being selected for the 2008 ODP (Olympic Development Program) - I know Gerhard's dedication and positive attitude training her played a large part in her successes. The best part is that they both LOVE training with him!"
