Aug 08 - PFAA Graduate praises EFI/PFAA in an interview for macedonianfootball.com
EFI provided me with the opportunity to train and play soccer nearly everyday. I was training up to 4 -5 training sessions and a game on the weekend. The specialized training introduced at EFI enhanced my skills and prepared me for the professional approach to training that occurs in the UK. Training with Preston Lions would never have been enough to make me a professional football player. Michael Kathopoulis’ approach to training was a lot different to what I had seen in the past and is the main reason that I have become the player I am today. He keeps in contact with me and provides me with advice whenever I need it. I would recommend EFI to any players that have ambitions to play soccer professionally or you have ambitions to play overseas. I could not advocate EFI enough and thank Michael for all his assistance to date.
