"Coach Juan is an outstanding coach and mentor who genuinely cares about his players. He pushes us to be our best on and off the field, creates a positive team culture, and helps us grow as athletes and people. I’m grateful for his leadership and support."

"From my perspective, Coach Juan’s integrity, Godly character, and soccer knowledge are unquestionable. Although his character and coaching were challenged in the past, this season made the truth clear. Under his leadership, the program achieved its most successful season ever—breaking all records, and reaching the National Final for the first time in program history. Juan holds players to standards of accountability, effort, and unity. Those who were toxic and are gone now—or were let go—ultimately proved they were the source of the issues and were damaging the program. Once those influences were removed, the team flourished. "

"Coach Juan has been an incredible blessing for my daughter. From day one, he has invested in her development not only as a player, but as a person. He trains with purpose, leads with integrity, and truly cares about his athletes. Unfortunately, like many good leaders, he faced negative comments from people who didn’t know the truth. Over time, his actions and consistent character have proven that those accusations were without foundation and completely false. The way he carries himself and the trust he has built with his athletes and parents speaks for itself. My daughter has grown under his guidance—her confidence, work ethic, and attitude on and off the field have all improved tremendously. It’s rare to find a coach who teaches beyond the game, and even rarer to find someone who supports his players at every level of their journey. We are extremely grateful for his leadership and highly recommend him to any family looking for a coach who genuinely does things the right way. "

"Is so crazy that this guy is still in charge of the team. He left an away game at Louisiana with 35 mins left in a game, then the next week did not show up to a single practice....his assistant ran all the training and actually the team played the best. Go figure!"

"Coach Juan is honestly one of the best people I've ever met. He's not just a great coach but genuinely cares about us as people too. You can tell he really wants the best for us, and that means a lot. "
