What clients are saying…

“As a parent watching their child succeed while having fun is about as good as it gets.  

Remember how much fun it was when your child was first playing youth soccer and it was just a bunch of kids playing, running, and laughing while kicking the ball around?  Then, fast forward several years, and the pride you felt when your child was scoring goals or had a great assist on their club or high school team.  And finally, the excitement of experiencing those select few players who play at the collegiate or professional level.

Each level of competition, whether it's youth, or club, or professional, the player needs to ENJOY THE GAME!

Stefan Clemens understands that.  

That is why I recommend Stefan Clemens and that is why my daughter has been training with Stefan for many years.  She started training when she was playing club soccer, and his training regiment consistently challenged her to be her best, and his mental stimulation provided her with toughness that set the wheels in motion for her to excel at each level, while traveling the nation as a soccer player.  

Stefan's physical and mental training ultimately led her to being recruited and getting a scholarship to play collegiate soccer at the D1 level in a power five conference. 

Her joy throughout the entire process never wavered because Stefan always made training physical and challenging, yet always fun.  Conversations about recruiting, team mates, meeting expectations, dealing with success and failures, prepared her mentally for each situation.  

Whether your child wants to play professional or just enjoy the game at the youth/club level, I would highly recommend Stefan Clemens to help your player be the best that they can be.”

Throughout my many years of playing soccer I have experienced many different coaches trainers with different styles of teaching. Working with Stefan through Double Scissors Soccer Training has, by far, been my favorite. Each training is customized to fit exactly what i need in order to improve my game. Stefan keeps trainings fun and lighthearted and engaging while also pushing me to succeed and break down any limitations to get me to max potential. He is a big part of the player I am today and I owe a lot of my success and drive to him and the way has helped me. I love training with Stefan and definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to improve their game!

I have known Stefan for many years. He is one of the people who has shaped me into the player I am today. His trainings are physically and mentally demanding. I come out of each session eager for the next. He tests me in ways that prepares me for the unpredictability of the game. He is not just a trainer he is a mentor. His lively spirit cannot be matched. His passion for the game drives the way he runs his sessions. He genuinely cares and wants to make you the very best player you can be. I am a professional women’s soccer player in the NWSL because of my trainings with Stefan. I will never be able to thank him enough. If you want to get your body and mind to the next level… better start training with Stef.

Stefan has trained my son for the last 3 years and my daughter for the last year.  Stefan is an amazing coach.  He is patient and really works at figuring out how to motivate each individual child.  He teaches them new skills and challenges them to improve all while making soccer fun!  My children both look forward to training with him. I have seen tremendous improvement in their individual abilities and I highly recommend training with Stefan.

My sons have been training with Stefan for several years.  And as a relative layperson, I’ve noticed improvements to their play.  Stefan has provided them with individual attention and focus on techniques that team training cannot.  The boys consistently comment to me that the help that he has given them: “my receiving the ball was off and he showed me what I was doing wrong”; “he fixed my plant foot”; etc.  Additionally, he has conversations with them about how they feel about their ability, their team, and personal goals that has always been sound advice and a positive impact.  I feel the time spent with Stefan has been invaluable to my boys.

I first met Stefan as a meager 8-year enlisting in my first winter clinic at Lamorinda Soccer Club, 10 years ago. Throughout the years we’ve developed a friendly, positive, and professional relationship. Something about Stefan that I absolutely love and is so hard to find in other coaches is his versatility in his coaching ability; he understands the desires and motivations behind his players and orients the trainings and sessions to those needs. If he understands you want to be pushed, he will give you intensity. If you need mental support, he will lend a helpful voice to your ear. The drills we do are done with purpose and always relate to game-like situations.

As an aspiring college player returning from a knee surgery sustained this summer, I can tell you without a doubt that the private trainings with Stefan and a few other guys have been exactly what I’ve needed, as I’m given an extra space to express my creativity, the level of play is high, and most importantly, he keeps us focused, engaged, and competitive. I urge whoever may be reading this to please consider enlisting your child or yourself with Stefan, he will undoubtedly improve, develop, and coach you into a better player than you thought possible.
