The testimony of Evan Louro, Tampa Bay Rowdies.

“John Plaugic has helped me immensely throughout my offseason training to help prepare me for preseason in MLS.

His take on the goalkeeping position really helps refine all aspects of the game, whether it’s technical work or making that game winning save.

The care he puts into each individual session is second to none and helps keep you as well rounded as possible.

I have never felt more confident going into a season and I have John to give credit to. He’s helped put me at my sharpest so that I can hit the ground running!”

Evan Louro,
Tampa Bay Rowdies

“I have known John since my sophomore year at Rutgers University Newark.

Within that time I can confidently say that my path to becoming a pro has been expertly guided by John and the work he does on a daily basis with Modern Goalkeeper Training Systems.

Being a Goalkeeper Coach requires you to know the position inside and out, while being able to have a great relationship with the Goalkeepers under your tutelage. John checks all the boxes as he is a tremendous person with experience that speaks for itself.

I would not be where I am today without John’s mentorship. Right from the beginning I could tell his focus was working diligently every day to provide the best training and advice to further my career. Constantly facilitating my growth on and off the field leading to a greater love and understanding of the game while being a successful student-athlete.

To this day I will ask John about the game and his thoughts on where I am in my career and the choices that go along with that. I value his opinion because he knows what he’s talking about and he tells it how it is. That’s one of the things I really respect about him is his honesty. If you ask a question regarding goalkeeping, or anything for that matter, he will give you a straight answer.

The overall level of professionalism is one of the biggest reasons I continue to come back and work with John year after year. Looking forward to many more years of hard work!

If you are serious about becoming the best Goalkeeper you can be, Modern Goalkeeper Training Systems is the obvious choice.”

“John truly cares about each of his clients’ growth and success and is selfless when it comes to helping them with their careers. If you are looking to take your game to the next level, Modern Goalkeeper Training Systems is the ideal training environment.

I can’t say enough about John Plaugic and his ability as a goalkeeper coach. I had the opportunity to train with him for 3 years daily at St. Benedict’s Prep and can full-heartedly say that without John I would not be nearly the goalkeeper I am today. He pushed me both on the field and off to make me become the best student-athlete I could be, and helped mentor me as I progressed through high school. After graduation from Saint Benedicts Prep, I entered the Division 1 level and yet have continued to train regularly with John. As there is no one around with sessions like Modern Goalkeeper Training Systems. His experience as a goalkeeper himself provides insight into what it takes to be a top-tier goalkeeper and his training is second to none. The sessions are energetic, game realistic and perfect for the “Modern Goalkeeper.”

“John Plaugic has been a great friend and mentor to me during my professional career. I began training consistently with John after my final collegiate season as I was preparing for upcoming professional trials. His modern approach to the position is truly one of a kind. Each offseason spent with John has been extremely beneficial towards my development. He has experienced the game at the highest level while coaching and playing internationally. All goalkeepers can benefit from working with John at Modern Goalkeeper. I cannot thank him enough!”

“I had the pleasure of working with John both as a youth player and as a professional. He is an incredibly knowledgeable coach and his skill-set suits players of every level. He is great to work with and you can tell that he is very passionate about what he does. He wants every goalkeeper he works with to reach the next level of his or her career. His sessions are challenging and rewarding. You will always walk away feeling you got better.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting and working under John the summer before going off to the University of Delaware. Since then, John has become a good friend and a mentor throughout my remaining collegiate, and now professional career. In the offseason, I still have the pleasure of training with him, and his approach to goalkeeping has helped me to further develop my game in order to take the next step in the professional world. He is very easy to work with, and tailors his approach to training to the goalkeeper, in order to work with what will best help that goalkeeper, and I can say that in my case it has certainly paid dividends. A big thanks to John for all the work he has done with me so far, and I look forward to more as I continue this journey playing abroad.”

“First and foremost John Plaugic is a fantastic man. He is not only a great goalkeeper coach but he is also a great friend. I had the opportunity to train with John for two years at St. Benedict’s Prep when I was 12-13 years old. Since then we have always kept in touch. John is responsible for recruiting me to Rutgers University (Newark) and now John is my coach at Rutgers.

I have spent two years with John at Rutgers and I can say that John has helped advanced my skills and knowledge of the game immensely. Johns coaching has helped me be successful in my two years starting at Rutgers Newark earning NJAC Goalkeeper of the Year, United Soccer Coaches All-Region and Academic All- American Honors in 2017, as well as an NCAA Elite 8 appearance.

I believe that his experience as a goalkeeper playing at a high-level aids in teaching goalkeepers what it takes to be a top-level Modern Goalkeeper. If you want to take your game to the next level, I would strongly recommend training with John.

He’s my boy!”
