I am a parent of a child that is coached by Mr. Isquierdo. This letter comes as a result of the immeasurable job that he has done. I am not new to [the club]. In fact I would consider myself and my child "old hands". Christian is the best coach my daughter has had and this season has been her best experience. The coaching has been superb. I base that solely on how much her game, as well as the teams game, has improved. In addition, he has assembled a fantastic group of girls who adhere to his disciplined approach.
"N" has scored 9 goals and is having an exceptional season, thus far. She is the second leading scorer. We know were her improvement came from. No doubt she has blown every ones mind with her play, which of course includes the opposition. Even though she is marked, she is still able to score. She's playing very well.
And thanks! You know that she has the least experience of all the players. I know and I might be repeating myself here, but her development is a direct result of playing for you.
Thanks, T

Letter from a Soccer Mom
Dear PSA,
My daughter (K.) played on a U12 team last fall. Her name was passed on to Christian [Isquierdo] as a possible sub willing to play in the Harvest Cup 2005. I encouraged her to play in this tournament thinking it would be a good experience plus all of her friends were going to be busy over MEA so it would give her something to do.
She didn't really want to, but she was talked into it. She went to the couple of practices that his team had to get ready for the Cup. And she went to the Harvest Cup. At the finish of that weekend, her attitude had changed 100%. She was excited about soccer and wanted to get better.
I believe that Christian was a large part of her new love for soccer. He is a person that took the time to explain and practice what was expected from the player. He showed and had other players help Kara learn foot work. Kara had gotten positive feedback from other coaches that she had (being in PSA since U5) but teaching and challenging her to make her become a better player and person has made her want to play harder. This was the first time that she asked if there was soccer opportunities for her over the winter. She was able to be involved with Ralia and Coerver training this winter with Christian as he welcomed her to train with the team even though she was not part of the roster.
Christian demands that the girls work and train hard. He teaches individual skills to better each player. He teaches that soccer is a "team sport" with each girl having an important part and that playing with a positive attitude is a must. But his team players are there because they want to be and are having fun learning and growing in skills and sport's personship. After the practices and games, he would talk with the girls about the game- good and bad and what to expect at the next time they got together. (The team had both wins and loses during the season, and his attitude was the same after the games.)
Kara will have another coach this summer, but I am sure I will continue to see her practice and use the skills that Christian has taught her. I think that Christian has been a great influence in her life and a valuable addition to the club.
