"Coach Sam's love of soccer and his positive attitude is infectious and the kids respond to him so well.

"My son recently completed his first round of the Mighty Kicks soccer program. He loved your soccer program!

Thank you for giving him a great first experience with soccer!" – Nicole, Mighty Kicks parent

"My experience with Coach Sam Bellin has been nothing short of great. In addition to his knowledge and experience across a wide range of sports, the best thing about Sam's coaching is that he works to ingrain values in his players that help them out not only in sports but in life as well. I think the most important thing Coach Sam ever taught me was the concept of accountability; if you lose the ball in soccer, you work hard to get it back and if you make a mistake in life, you take responsibility and then you fix it. That trait has really helped shape me as both an athlete and a person. I would recommend Coach Sam and his programs to any young athlete." – Joaquin (Junior) Gonzalez, 2011 Allderdice Captain and Western PA All Star

 

"My daughter Madelaine loved your summer soccer program. We are thrilled you will be offering it this fall!"
– Marnie, Mighty Kicks parent

 

"Mighty Kicks has far exceeded my expectations. Coach Sam’s energy is unmatched. He has the kids so engaged that they don’t even realize that they’re learning! He engages the little ones in the same type of lessons as the older ones. I’ve seen other soccer programs and they don’t run them like Coach Bellin." – Brian, Mighty Kicks parent

 

"Dear Coach Sam: We really appreciate your hard work, dedication, and love for the kids. Our girls (Alina and Sina) love your classes!" – Brian and Eva, Mighty Kicks parents

 

"My son’s experience with Mighty Kicks has been unparalleled. We have previously enrolled in several other soccer classes in the region, and I can say without a doubt that nothing compares. Coach Sam takes an interest in every child in the class and helps those at the lowest and highest levels of ability to improve their game in a fun, engaging manner. His coaching in encouraging, developmentally appropriate, and captivating. Moreover, sportsmanship is a key component of his approach. My son has been asking each week how many days until he can return to play soccer with Coach Sam. I recommend Coach Sam and Mighty Kicks to the highest degree!"  – Meredith, Mighty Kicks parent

 

"Coach Sam is amazing and its so great to watch him interact with the kids. It not only amazes me how he can remember every kid’s name, but also how he’s able to use fun kids’ games to help them learn the sport and related skills while keeping them engaged."  – Kathy, Mighty Kicks parent

 

"Coach Sam is one of the best soccer skills coaches I’ve ever had the pleasure to coach with. Coach Sam always delivers a high energy, demanding yet fun experience for the kids. Coach Sam makes sure the kids are taught the important skills of the game where they learn by doing while also doing it with a smile on the face."  – Peter Smith, former professional soccer player (9 years) and former member of the United States Men’s National Soccer Team

 

"Coach Sam is so wonderfully encouraging with the children. We love watching him coach while we walk on the track."

As my own kids have taken part in Sam’s soccer programs, I highly recommend Coach Sam’s training methods to elevate any young player’s skills and confidence."

"The champions of City League boys soccer for the past two years (2010, 2011) has been Pittsburgh Allderdice with Sam Bellin as Head Coach. If coaches were judged merely by wins and losses, then Coach Sam would get the highest marks. And for some coaches (and parents), winning is all that matters. But in watching how he led the Dice team through the eyes of one of the players, my son Jesse, I saw a coach who didn't demand victories from his players; rather, he simply demanded that they be accountable to their teammates and good sports to their opponents. In so doing, I believe he helped mold them into champions on and off the field." – Robert Mendelson, Allderdice High school parent
