3. Hi Carmen & Alex... David's doing good. He's playing on Oregon's PDL minor league team 'Cascade Surge' right now. He's pretty excited. Last year he made the Reserve team. So to make the roster this year is pretty special. Their division has them playing all over the west coast, Canada, Germany, and a few games in Peru.. He still talks about Romania all the time...he's on the 'Surge' team now... He's watched this team all his life hoping to play for them some day. The training he got at Astra (Romania) made it possible, and we thank you so much for it! He's really developed. Love, the Lents |

4. Hi Carmen, Lisa's been impossible to live with since she got home!!! All she does is reminisce of the great times she had and wishing she were back! She had a wonderful time and assures me she spent quality time training with the wonderful coaches in addition to all the fun she had being in Belgium and Portugal. She is determined to earn all she can so that she can go back next summer for the entire program. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her, it sounds like it was the right balance between being free to roam around and experience the Mediterranean life and getting enough sleep and supervision. I'm know she has made lasting friendships and will look forward to keeping track on how everyone does in fulfilling their soccer goals. I'm very happy I 'found' your program on the internet and for all your help making last minute arrangements. Please do let us know as you flush out the winter, spring and next summer programs and how everyone made out with their try-outs. Thanks again, Cathy |

5. Carmen and Alex - Shane made it back to the USA ...Shane has not stopped talking about how much fun she had on the trip. .. She had a blast... I asked her if she wants to go back next year and she said "definitely." The sign of a good camp is when campers want to return until they are adults! I want to personally thank you for helping her out, making her adjustment smooth and caring for her. She loved every moment of the camp, probably is a better player from the experience and made lifelong friends. I have always reiterated to people that even though thousands of kids play soccer, few make it to the higher levels of competition. Knowing this, the social experiences and developmental skills they acquire are as important as their physical achievements. While Shane is a good player and has good touch on the ball, the most important part of her "game" is the friendships she builds over time. I coached a U-8 team for my older daughter who is now ranked nationally in tennis and one of the top players in Nevada. Even though she doesn't play soccer anymore, her best friend is a kid from the U-8 team that lives in Philly. We all have to set reasonable sites in our game and for Shane this means building confidence in her skill and personal nature. I'm glad she had a good time, this experience contributes to her "game" and development. - Dr. Larry Scheier |

6. Dear Carmen & Coach Alex - How are you two doing first off ? Hope all well... Had a great time training in Romania, Belgium and Portugal... My family and i are also very, very interested in the 6 month program... i am really excited, cant wait. I have kept my training up and I'm about to get a little more intense with it, so i can be prepared. ...Other than that things are great over in California, i am playing in a open league with the league champs and they have opened me up to some connections, which is great. I am still hoping that i can improve enough to get myself a tryout somewhere and succeed. I hope to hear form you both soon and i wish you both the best. Sincerely, Stuart Nichols |

Dear Carmen, Alex & Adrian, Just writting you to let you know that i have made it home safely! Thanks so much for the fun experience and i hope to see you/ hear from you soon! Can't wait till next year!... I can't wait till next summer! I'm gonna go to Portugal to! I miss everyone so much already! Its so crazy how in only one month you can get so attached to people and become such tight friends! Thanks for all the great practices! I loved getting to know new drills and new techniques! Tell Adrian thanks for taking time aside and helping me... It really meant alot to me to be able to get some one on one with the drills. It helped me out alot! ... Soccer over here is hard to get used to after playing so intense. I play indoor and everyone keeps telling me to settle down and not be so physical. But hey I toughened up when I played those Romanian boys, and I have to keep telling myself, "Your not in Romania anymore you can settle down!" My parents came and watched me play and told me that I have improved immensely! It was nice to hear that from them and others around me! Miss you all! Thanks so much for everything- Nat |

"The training program in Romania is very good. You have the top of the line coaches.
I benefited a lot from training with them by getting better ball skills, and knowing what is around me at all times. The five years that I've been there I learned a lot. I like them because they like everyone of us like their own son. I think it is great for kids to go there, because every year, when I come back people tell me how much better I got, and that gives me the advantage over the other players. You should go as often as you can. Start young, and go every year. You will improve a lot. My traveling coach is amazed how much quicker, better, and bigger I got" Bryan Laverdure, PA, U-23 (former 1st div. college soccer player at Temple University in Philladephia, PA) |

"Training in Romania was really a good soccer experience. I definitely improved a lot. It was also really fun, it wasn't just a boring soccer camp. It was fun, and we learned a lot. Also, all of the coaches were great" Brian Morris, NY, U-21 (currently playing 1st div. college soccer at St. John's University, NY) |

| "Dear Carmen and Alex, ...We can't tell you how much we appreciated your kindness and helpfulness with the boys' first foray into Europe! They COULD NOT STOP raving about Romania and how beautiful and lovely it is there. They have convinced us that we must go next year to experience the history and castles in person. We agree and will begin planning our vacation for 2005!! We also thank you for contacting the Belgium connection concerning Nolan and Aaron tryouts in Brussels. Thank you for everything. You've been wonderful... With great appreciation, Diana and family" , CA - Nolan Chandler, 15, Aaron, 20, Jason ,23 |

I appreciate your input....The Romanian experience was overall very good for Tahlon and allowed him to see he is capable to go to another level with soccer and as a young man in pursuit of his dreams. Thank you and Carmen for this opportunity from the heart of a TRUE SOCCER MOM! Keep in touch and I too will let you know his plans. I feel I know Adrian Tahlon spoke of him frequently and hopes the best for his future as well. Respectfully, Bobbie Drake", TX - Tahlon Drake, 19 |

Dear Carmen and Alex, "First of all, thank you for the care you took of Alison, Trevor and Colin. They all had a wonderful time. It is obvious that they learned a great deal. The soccer training was a big part of their experience, but the exposure to it in the context of Romania and diverse group they were with made their life experience that much richer. They were glad to be home, but almost the first thing they said was that they want to return next year. This is just what we were hoping for when we looked at ESA of the USA. It is clear that the program had a very significant impact on all of the children. All three are exhibiting an increased passion for soccer and a new perspective on what it takes to become really good at the game. |

| They also have a much better
understanding of how much higher the level of expectations and commitment is in Romania. At the same time, they feel good about themselves and the work they did while they were gone. Thank you again for creating this opportunity for the children and taking such great care of them while they were with you. We look forward to keeping in touch." Dick and Ann Carney (CA) |

Carmen, "I just thought you might like to know about a conversation I had with Alison today. I told her that you had sent me a couple emails since you returned from Romania. I showed them to her when she asked to read them. She turned to me from the computer and said, "Dad, Carmen is AWESOME! really AWESOME!" Alison is clearly very fond of you, but she said you were absolutely terrific the day she had to leave for London and ran into trouble with Skip at the airport. She said she was calling you every five minutes and you were amazing in helping her get through the problems. She is very grateful and I think you have a special place in her heart. Maybe you need a new line in your brochure, "Carmen is AWESOME!" Thanks once again for being so good to our kids. Our very best wishes to the Szasz family." "Hi Carmen and Coach Alex it's Seth Wolkoff from Cleveland, Ohio. Just letting you know I arrived safely. I want to thank you guys, again, for everything you did for me this summer. My parents also want to thank you for taking care of me, Carmen, you were a great soccer Mom for me in Romania and Alex, you were a great coach and dad too. I love you guys and I definitely will strongly consider returning next summer. I am interested in staying longer than one month. Thanks again for everything and I will stay in touch. Hope to here from you soon." Seth "Pele, oh I mean Hagi" Wolkoff, OH "Micah just finished his varsity season. He scored ten goals during the season. We are proud of him.
