"We were referred to Carlos through a mutual friend, and we are so grateful we found him. He began working with Reese just as she was finishing a six-month recovery from a Grade 3 ankle sprain. Coming back to soccer, she had lost a lot of confidence and needed to rebuild not only her strength, but also her touch and confidence on the ball. Carlos has been incredible in helping her get back to where she is today. He knows how to push her while still being encouraging and supportive. He doesn’t just run her through drills—he tailors each session to her position and gives her detailed, specific instruction on how to improve each play. He notices the little things and takes the time to explain what she can do differently to become a better player. Most importantly, Carlos has helped Reese believe in herself again. He constantly encourages her, builds her up, and challenges her to be better. In the six months she has trained with him, we have seen huge improvements in both her skills and her confidence. We are so excited to share that Reese was recently recruited to play college soccer, and Carlos has absolutely played a part in helping her get there. We couldn’t recommend him more highly to any player looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about their development and wants to see them succeed!

I’m Wayne Mendezona, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Corban University and founder of Quick Handle Basketball. I’ve spent over 30+ years developing athletes and have trained more than 50,000 players—from youth to college and professional levels. I specialize in ball handling, scoring, and game performance—helping athletes build confidence, decision-making, and real in-game results. My training is not just drills—it’s about developing complete players who can perform under pressure, think the game, and separate themselves from the competition. I don’t train average. I train athletes who are serious about growth, discipline, and competing at a higher level. If that’s you, let’s get to work.

"My son said Coach Mendo was far and away the most effective coach he's ever worked with! His knowledge, tools, and willingness to share wisdom are incredible. I've never seen my son so impressed by a coach or heard him so enthusiastic about what he learned in a session. Very grateful!

I have just recently retired from teaching Middle School and High School Math for 35+ year. I will miss teaching and would like to continue by tutoring math. My teaching career is varied. I taught in Idaho and Oregon for 20+ years before choosing to teach overseas. I taught in Egypt, Malaysia, Myanmar, Ecuador and Guatemala; teaching at international schools. During that time, I also worked on curriculum committees, chaperoned week long trips and worked on my PhD in Math education.
