After the sensational 4 days that Liam had at the West Ham Training he has just got home from the Futsal Nationals this week to an email to confirm selection in the Australian 12 Boy's Futsal Team to travel to Malaysia in May/June 2016! We are so incredibly proud of Liam and I am so glad he undertook training with you. The training with you set him up well for the West Ham Training and he has excelled at the Futsal Nationals. Barry and myself were not there due to work commitments so Liam went up with another family.
I am told he won prestigious ‘All Stars 5’, where only 5 were awarded for outstanding performances.
Thank you again for being a caring coach. Liam really has fun at your sessions.

The Goldman Academy has developed Connor's goalkeeping skills out of sight. Connor is more confident as a person and as a team member than we have seen in years. This confidence helped his team to win both minor premiership and Grand Final this year (2015)! I strongly recommend the Goldman Academy for any new up and coming goalkeepers and at such reasonable rates how could you pass it up!

Dear Andrew,
I am writing to thank you formally the time and the effort you have put in with my son. A few years ago Noah was very uncertain of his direction with football. On signing with Charlestown City Blues we approached you to work with Noah and see if he had the ability to keep focusing on goal keeping.
From the first session you had a real knack for getting on with kids and getting to know where he was, not only ability wise but physically, mentally and emotionally with his football. You found areas he needed to work on, and with your passion and dedication you encouraged him to believe in himself and push himself out of his comfort zone.
Noah enjoyed his sessions with you extremely and credits you for going back to the basics with him and taking him to the level with his ability and his confidence to follow his dreams and to back himself in trying for some football goals.
These goals started coming reality with Noah being selected in the state side with the catholic schools to compete at the championships. This is where he was noticed and an opportunity arose to be able to trial for the elite programme with the Emerging Jets. The night before the trial Noah was nervous and wanted to just touch up on a few areas. We made a last minute call to you and you were happy to meet with him that night and run through a few drills. You then sat down and mentored him to believe in himself and that he had just as good as a chance to make it as anyone else.
Noah today has just completed a season with this amazing programme at the Emerging Jets and has been selected again for the 2014 season. In the time with this programme he has had the chance to work with the elite coaching staff to take him to the next level and be selected to compete in the Saitama International Junior Tournament – he is loving being a part of the emerging jets and the opportunities that come with it but he will never forget the time and the effort that you put into him in the years before his selection. Thanks Goldie, he was “touch and go” as to whether he was able to push on with football and goalkeeping but your belief in him was priceless.
Thanks again,
N. James
I just wanted to pass on my thanks to Andrew for the coaching and mentoring that he has been doing with our Skill Acquisition Program (SAP) goalkeepers.
They have all improved immensely this season due to his diligence in working with them to improve their technique and understanding of the role of the goalkeeper.
Not only are they improving but it always appears to me that they are having fun at his sessions, which is also a large part of their development at this stage of their footballing life.
Keep up the good work!
Best regards
PHIL DANDO
Technical Director, Macquarie Football
