“Coach Kimani’s sessions have played a huge role in my development as a player. His training has helped me prepare for my US Youth National Team Call-Ups and Columbus Crew First Team trainings. Most coaches allow their players to “go through the motions” as they train, Coach Kimani is the opposite. He will push you to your limits and help you become the best player you can be!”

“I love training with Johnny. He continually pushes me past my limits each session and caters to my positional needs. His attention to detail, knowledge of the game, and high intensity training separate him from other coaches I’ve personally trained with. I would definitely continue to train with Johnny in the future, as he has bettered me not only as a player but also a person.”

“I met Johnny my sophomore year of high school and immediately fell in love with his fast paced, intense coaching style. I went on to play with him for the rest of my high school career and along with doing my high school season and club season, I started participating in private training sessions with him. In these sessions, we worked on techniques and skills crucial to my position and focused specifically on my individuality as a player. He pushed me to my limits, focused on repetition, and gave me new skills and insight that I use in games today. Compared to other coaches, Johnny has pushed me out of my comfort zone and gotten me more confident on the field in taking people on one v one and going to goal. I plan to continue to train with him even during my college years because he has made a huge impact on me as a player and a person.”

“I love training with Johnny. He is a great coach and always pushes me out of my comfort zone in different drills, making me a better and more confident player. His high intensity training sessions help you work on techniques skills specific to your position. You can tell that Johnny has a strong love for the game and genuinely cares for the improvement of his players. This makes him different than other coaches I’ve had. He has made me a much stronger player and has impacted me in many ways. ”

“Training with Johnny has absolutely brought my game to new levels. He has pushed me physically and mentally, helped me get into shape for multiple seasons, and has offered technical advice far beyond the levels of other coaches I have worked with. I am looking forward to when I am able to train with Johnny again, and would 100% recommend him to anyone who is serious about becoming the best player they can be.”

Zach Brown / Haverford College (NCAA DIII)

“Coach Johnny began coaching my team when I was in the seventh grade (2017). Right from the very first practice, he pushed the team to a whole new level. Within a few practices and games, we began looking like a new team. He worked with every position to get our full understanding of how we should look at this higher level. Not only did he teach us skills, but he also taught us discipline and what it means to work hard. During the summers I began working with him privately. His focus and passion for my growth during our training was evident at every session. With his help, he gave me the tools and confidence for the center mid position. Looking back now, if it had not been for my training with Coach Johnny, I would not have started Varsity soccer as a Freshman nor had the confidence to later start training with Ohio North ODP.”
