Training Built by a Former Professional Player

For more than two decades he has trained competitive youth, collegiate, and professional players while building one of the most widely read soccer development blogs in the world.

Andy Humphrey – Michigan

Here in Michigan we have good youth soccer, but after my daughter started the GFT Online Skills Training we have seen fast growth in her ball control & confidence. I recommend it to anyone nationwide who wants to Improve. The courses are better than getting local private 1on1 lessons because the quality of teaching & video is amazing!

We love the training we receive through Global Futbol Training. Jeremie is the best! We drive all the way from Midland just for the trainings. When we miss a weekend my daughter misses it! He truly cares for the players he develops, the bond he builds is strong. Thank you Global Futbol Training!

GFT is the absolute best place to improve your soccer skills! I highly recommend Jeremie and his training methods. You'll become a more confident player and be able to control the ball in pressure situations on the pitch. Give their training programs (or online courses) a shot - you won't be disappointed!

"This would be your student! (video attached) His score was the highlight of the tournament! I wasn't there but I got a ton of text! Thanks for training him! We won 6-2 after being down 0-2 until the very end of the first half."

I haven’t seen my 14 year old daughter practice outside of team practice in 4 years.  Now she has the ball everywhere she goes.

This is hands down the best training I've ever been too. Not only was it extremely fun, I learned so much I have never been taught before. This is where I grew the most as a player and can say without a doubt this is why I'm going to play D-1 soccer.

My son absolutely loves training @gftskills. His confidence and skills jumped fast because the in-person training works on passing, speed of play & shooting, while the online courses he does for homework. This method doubles up his development as it's all so different from what his club team coaches do.

My wife and I both played Collegiate soccer and understand the importance of skills training. The technique and skills Jeremie teaches kids is so much more advanced than what we ourselves could teach. We've watched Jeremie and his staff train kids of all ages and levels. Highly recommend his program to my friends.

Ken, Dad of True Starter Freshman, Committed as a H.S. Freshman to BIG 12 school

Without a doubt, the training that Sydney has received from Jeremie and GFT through private individual lessons, group and camps helped her receive a scholarship by her Freshman year in high school! Not only her technical training but the insight he gives when times are hard. The input of Jeremie on our process and in training made the difference.

Tracy, Dad of Starting D-1 Freshman, Recruited by 7 top 20 NCAA Div-I schools (Pac 12, ACC & more)

The coaches don't know about the process & my son is in the highest league for his age! I remember when my son was 13 hearing from Jeremie that we needed to do all these things and I ended up, our family ended up in a panic, because 3 years later the process was a lot harder. It would have saved a ton of stress if we had just followed the steps he laid out THEN. Lesson learned.
