What parents say about Gavin:

​

"My daughter has had the opportunity to work with Gavin for over a year, and I have watched her skills grow over that time.  Gavin has spent time working on skills of the game, knowledge of the game, and her confidence of play. He worked with Olivia keeping an action plan in mind to get her from where she is today to where she needs to go.  Gavin has pushed Olivia, and you can tell that he has extensive knowledge and genuine love for the sport and truly cares about the kids that he works with; wanting to see them reach their fullest potential.  Olivia always approaches a training session with Gavin the same way she leaves; laughing and with a smile!" - Jed Ott, parent of one of Gavin's 1:1 athletes
