After hearing accolades from friends about their son's success training with John, we got in touch with him and have never looked back. Our son played goalie until 18 months ago and wanted to improve his field and ball handling skills as a defender. John listened to our son's goals and created an individualized training program to help him meet those goals. His approach to developing player skills with a positive, can-do approach - and his ability to motivate and challenge our son - is nothing short of exceptional. From improving field skills to developing player confidence, John LaRocca has become an invaluable partner in our son's soccer development. We highly recommend John and his team at Beltway Trainer!

John has been training our son for a couple of months.  The focus of the training has been on speed and agility and general fitness.  In the short period of time, the difference in my son's performance has been significant.  John is focused and pays close attention to the needs of each individual.  His training is not a one size fits all.  He is honest with his assessment of progress and he commands respect from the kids he trains.  He has a way to bring out the best in a player and helps them work to achieiving their full potential.  We would recommend John to anyone - and have.  He is a trainer that has the client's best interest at heart and is a pleasure to deal with.

"I spent weeks researching and contacting personal trainers. I was looking for someone to help my son with his overall fitness and speed.  Our main goal was to prepare him for high school soccer try outs in the upcoming fall. I reached out to many trainers with either no response or no response for several days.  My experience with John was the complete opposite.  As soon as I reached out to him he immediately responded and was so excited and encouraging about working with my son.  Not only was he willing to work on his overall fitness he also has the soccer knowledge to help with that as well. My son has been working with John for a couple of months now and what an improvement we've seen!  His speed is noticeably increased along with his endurance.  Most of all his increased confidence is so apparent.  For anyone looking for some fitness help, I would absolutely recommend John and his team.  They have been terrific!"

"Since I've started training with John, not only do I feel a major improvement in my physical fitness as well as the mental parts of my game. While training he expresses positive communication, but also pushes me each day to reach my highest potential. I can truly say that these sessions are helping me become the athlete that I have always wanted to be."

"John is an excellent trainer, a talented player and great coach. He always maintains friendly positive energy and a professional attitude. He is very encouraging and engaging. It is abundantly clear that he loves the game and strives to be a quality trainer. John has helped me to improve my ball skills and passing/shooting accuracy through a variety of drills and careful attention to my specific issues. I can honestly say working with John has been one of the best and most successful training experiences I've had.

"John has helped my daughter with her skills, conditioning, physical fitness but most importantly his positive attitude also improved her confidence.  He is always encouraging and enthusiastic and I love his high positive energy.  You can tell that he is passionate about soccer and he really cares about teaching and motivating. I also want to thank him for going beyond what he needed to do.  He always made himself available giving my daughter advice and encouragement when she wasn't training with him.  My daughter is excited and looking forward to training with John again and I look forward to continuing our relationship with him for many years to come."
