In2SoccerChicago - Testimonials

I have known Ayo for several years. His passion for soccer distinguishes him from any person I have met in the many years I have played, followed and studied the game. His decades worth of experience, both as a player and a coach of younger talent, sets him apart from the standard coach you find on school fields on any regular day or at your local schools games/academy.

Dedicated, detailed oriented and focused on making sure young players both learn, develop and have fun, his players mature into competitive and dedicated athletes.

Ayo is a phenomenal coach! Really knows the game and also knows how to talk and relate to kids.  Teaches not only fundamentals and higher end skills but also strategy and how to think about the game (which he manages to do effectively even with 9 year old boys!).  His passion is contagious and really make the lessons even more amazing for the kids. Lastly but equally importantly, he teaches and models excellent sportsmanship and teamwork. Would recommend 10/10!

As an experienced soccer dad (older boys played nationally), I always appreciate coaches who not only understand but coach the fundamentals of the game of soccer. Ayo is one such coach. His passion for the game of soccer and experience as a former player, are prevalent in his coaching sessions. He makes proper assessments of a child’s capabilities and knows how to earn the trust of a player, to maximize their skill development. I am a fan and you will be too, should you work with him. 

I am thrilled to endorse Jean-Louis Boury as a youth soccer coach. Having coached alongside Jean-Louis for many years, I can confidently say that he is an exceptional coach. His passion for soccer and deep knowledge of the game’s skills and tactics are truly impressive.

Jean-Louis creates a positive and effective learning environment where kids can thrive. He is patient with those who need extra help and challenges more advanced players to reach their full potential. His extensive playing experience allows him to demonstrate the skills he teaches, earning the respect and admiration of his players. This makes practice sessions truly fun and rewarding.

I wholeheartedly support Jean-Louis Boury as a soccer coach and mentor for young players.

 I’ve known Ayo for more than twenty-five years. I have always admired his hard work and dedication to every endeavour he takes. Ayo is very passionate about soccer with a great understanding of the game, with all that it entails in terms of strategy, technique and physicality. He is also very passionate about teaching the young ones and passing on his experience and skills. I believe his calm, serious and caring approach would inspire many of the kids to enjoy learning a great sport and building team skills. 

Coach Ayo has been an incredible influence on our children's lives. His patience, enthusiasm, and dedication to teaching the game of soccer have made practices a joy for all the kids involved.
