Stark Rodriguez, 11 🇺🇸
If you want to take your game to the next level, I highly recommend Train Effective. Stark is a New York Red Bulls Academy Player and is on a pathway to the pros. Train Effective 100% worked with him with understanding injury prevention, hands on with the physiologists, masterclasses, and gym sessions. Stark found friends/teammates like him from around the world who share the same passion. The trainers are second to none and work with the boys to unlock each one's full potential. Each day's schedule whether it be double sessions with recovery is all guided by professional trainers. Most importantly over the three weeks, the boys form a bond and become one team called "Train Effective". Stark has been to West Ham United Academy last year and will choose to come back to Train Effective. Simply because it attracts top talent players and trainers. - Stark, USA

London July Camp
Ole Bakken, 15 🇳🇴
"I attended the Train effective camp with the aim of improving my mentality and motivation for further investment in football. I am curious about my capabilities as a player and whether they rhyme with my goals and dreams. The stay was my first trip alone so a good adult education to become the best version of myself came as a bonus. I highly recommend Train Effective. I will definitely be back!"
London July/August Camp
Skyler Maldano, 18 🇺🇸
"Going into the camp, I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was soon to realize how amazing this camp really was. You gain more than just knowledge and development in your football abilities, but on top of that, you gain amazing friendships with coaches and people you look forward to seeing everyday at the camp and crying from having to leave them at the end. This is an opportunity of a lifetime for anybody considering to go!"
