"My daughter was coached by Kai at SUU. She liked and respected Kai as a coach. My daughter’s confidence and skill on the field greatly improved under Kai’s coaching; he took her game to the next level. "

"Coach Kai has been a great influence on my daughter’s development as a college soccer player. Under his coaching, she has grown not only in technical skill but also in her understanding of the game and her confidence on the field. He provides clear instruction, high standards, and consistent feedback that push players to reach their full potential. I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact he has had on her soccer journey."

"Kai is the best human being on earth anybody who say else must not realize accountability, if a coach can’t hold his player accountable then who will, he mold his players and teaches them how to be organized and accountable for there actions, players must come to fall training fit, physical and mentally. If they have any mental health issues he will help them and point them in direction to get the proper help my daughter was a transfer didn’t play the first year for him she decided to retransfer to be closer to home and he and Steven helped her along the way. She no longer plays soccer not because of Kai but because of hateful teammates prior to SUU and parents who are just jealous that there daughters don’t do what needed to sustain playing at the highest level. However you have people hating on people and players being bad teammates thus why they were released by program. They know it and so does all the players and ex player. SUU rejects bad behavior and bad teammates. It’s a shame that people no longer hold there child accountable! "

"I had a wonderful experience with Kai Edwards at SUU. In fact, as a transfer, I am sad that I wasn’t able to develop all four years under him. He is a fantastic person who develops you both on and off the field. When I came to SUU, I had a strong fear of what people thought of me and I don’t even recognize that version of me anymore! He didn’t allow me to remain distant from the team— he broke me out of my shell and taught me how to be a leader. I have never developed more as a player under any other coach. He took my game from mediocre to above average, giving me back my confidence. From the moment I came in, he never gave up on me, encouraging me and coaching me. He is always available— anytime I would ask for extra help, he made time to do 1 on 1 trainings outside of practice. You get what you give to the program. He strongly values hard work and players that listen (players that are coachable). Those that don’t do either will not get much playtime. Also, regarding turnaround, a lot of players come in and out of the program because Kai does not allow poor attitudes to exist within our team culture. He is an amazing person who works overtime for the program. In my years at SUU, I never saw someone have a bad experience who had a good attitude, worked hard, and was coachable. I am so grateful that I had the chance to play for him. He provided me an unforgettable experience."

"Kai Edwards believes in his players. He hand selects players who he knows will benefit the team both on and off the field. He demands a “team” atmosphere, and expects the players to “leave it all on the field”after each practice or game. He had an open door policy welcoming the players to approach him with questions, issues, or concerns equally. We only had 2 years with him as our daughter’s coach and wish we had more time. He believed in her as an athlete and person. As parents, he treated us with respect and we absolutely loved the program and Coach Kai. If we had it to do all over again, we would have found Kai Edwards sooner to have enjoyed more time at SUU. We are truly sad our time is over. "

"The coach was very nice and respectful "

"Sent my daughter there she has an amazing time though there are players who don’t wanna do what it takes to play or they don’t take care of themselves on and off the field or in the class room. Kai and Steven have always placed the player before themselves. The mentorship they are provided is first class and I would highly recommend if you ever have a chance to play for either you do. Wonderful people great program. Haters hate. You gotta do the work to play. "

"Kai truly cares about you as a person and a player. Many seem to correlate lack of playing time to him being abusive. Some just don’t belong in college athletics especially at the Division 1 level. Many who have transferred either quit soccer or went to a lower level program. He pushes you to be a better athlete and person. Kai develops strong and independent young women. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the game and wants his athletes to be as well. Kai has a strong, yet loving and respectful personality that many ignore. "
