"The goalkeeper position is one of the most emotionally and physically demanding roles in soccer, but Matias Herrera navigates these challenges with ease across all levels. His ability to communicate effectively, energize a session, and lead with a demanding yet encouraging voice truly sets him apart. I highly recommend his training for goalkeepers seeking to be challenged and learn from a coach who has both played the position and is now dedicated to giving back to the next generation of keepers."
Casey Clark - Director of Goalkeeping OPD & CEO of Soccer Wars
"Pisco Goalkeeping has been instrumental in my growth and development in the short time I’ve been training with them. Matias is an incredible coach! His training approach focuses on supporting the whole person, not just the athlete. We address everything from nutrition, mentality, agility and, of course, the craft of goalkeeping. He’s exactly the kind of coach I’ve been looking for. I don’t want constant praise after every save; I want constructive feedback that pushes me to improve. If I could have held onto the ball instead of just saving it, he’ll let me know and that’s the kind of coaching that’s been a game-changer for me. Matias is always encouraging, motivating, and challenging me to take my skills to the next level. The mentorship I’ve received through this program has been exactly what I’ve needed, especially during a tough junior year and the challenges of the recruiting process."
Aubrey McLin - Davis Legacy

Emmie Allen - Bay FC
"I just recently started training with you in my off season since meeting and coaching together at ODP sessions. I have really enjoyed working with you both as a colleague and as a player. There is always something to learn and in atmosphere you create although we’re locked in and getting work down we’re also always having fun and enjoying the craft. I appreciate how detail oriented you are. Your sessions often possess a technical focus which I appreciate. I think technical work is incredibly necessary to continue to push your boundaries as a goalkeeper. Details matter big time especially at higher levels. Your sessions have also personally helped me improve the coordination of my movement in goal and that has made me more accurate in gameplay."

"One of the most positive changes I have experienced with coach Matias is IQ of the whole position, he has taught me exactly what it means to be a goalkeeper and how to play the position that will help the team more not just making saves. I have recommended coach Matias to several people and will continue to do so. His knowledge that he has for the position has brought me from an average goalkeeper to a college starter and captain."
Roberto Godina - Simpsons University

Dashiell Haga - San Francisco Elite Academy
"Ive improved significantly and surprisingly very fast. I’ve learned certain techniques that I struggled a lot on and you were extremely patient with me to slowly learn it which made it a lot easier. Day by day ive gotten 1% better even sometimes if i am off i still get to learn little things to push me to get better which is very valuable to me. I would definitely recommend Matias to whoever that would ask for a gk coach."
Aria Afshar - West Valley College
"I think the biggest thing for me is type helped me go back and understand I need to basics to exceed as a goalkeeper whether it’s positioning or my recovery. The little things matter as a goalkeeper and you put that into more prospective as the trainings have gone a love I feel much faster and just in general more confidence in my shot stopping and being able to control my body in situations where I need to make a save. Of course i would recommend your coaching to other players because it is a professional training that involves a lot of technique that not a lot of coaches show."
Leonardo Godinez - West Valley College
"Even though I am an outfield player and psico specializes in goalkeeper trading, just after one training session I have noticed a much better touch and awareness around the field. I learned to open up properly out on the wings. Coach has taught/is teaching me how to play with with the mindset and confidence of a top level player. I would 100% recommend your coaching services to other, 100%."

Whats Matias assigns me to do based on his observations, I naturally do the same movements on the pitch without having to think before doing it. It has been worth every penny. I get high level coaching and training from Matias. Matias is very detail oriented and has helped me to master techniques to use them on the field. Yes, definitely! You will receive high level training sessions and honest feedback! Like I said, Matias cares about details and will push you to become better. I honestly owe it to him for the results!"
