	"We had the honor and privilege to have had Gus Donolo from STBW visit the DuBois Soccer Association in west central Pennsylvania to introduce futsal to our young and aspiring players. The technical and tactical sessions were developmentally tailored. Gus goes beyond the typical training session and is able to incorporate agility, strength and speed training into a variety of skill sets that captured our players attention like no other training I have seen before. Gus is a master of modelling and teaching the technical skills. Within one training session, you could see the kids begin to feel more comfortable on the ball and become more rapid in their decision making. More importantly to the kids, Gus made them feel at ease and made it fun for them. I believe Gus knows how to make players work hard and have fun at the same time. Our coaches often made the comment, "I think I learned more than the kids did ". Gus' method is a 'must see' for coaches looking for ways to improve their players..."
