"I have had the opportunity to work with Domenic, Mark and Hunter over the past 10+ years. I have coached a lot of talented players. What separates the Barone family from others is their passion and deep knowledge of the game of soccer. They're very good people which is vital to being good teachers of the game." ~ Damon Rensing (Head Coach MSU Mens Soccer)
"Not only have I been fortunate to share the field with Mark, Dom and Hunter to see their talent as players, we've also shared the field as coaches where you can see their talents, passion and professionalism transfer over to their coaching. There are not many people I would trust to develop players to reach their goals. These brothers are at the top of the list." ~ Mirza Harambasic (Assistant coach with Real Salt Lake)
"In all my years of coaching, I have not met anyone with more knowledge and passion for soccer than the Barone family. They possess a special intuition when it comes to understanding the game and being able to share it with others. Personally, I wish my kids would have the opportunity to learn from them in the future." ~Kylie Stannard (Head Coach Yale Mens Soccer)
"Brothers who are passionate and knowledgable about the game of football. Combining their experience playing at a high level, they are great people who can teach the next generation of players everything they need to know." ~ Fatai Alashe (Former Columbus Crew and San Jose Earthquakes Player)
"Domenic was an absolutely special player and assassin in front of goal. He could finish with both feet, was great in the air and had incredible vision. The game was so much slower for Domenic than everyone else. He simply thought quicker than any player I have seen and could break a game open at any point. As a coach, he is stoic, pragmatic, and has the same fire that burns inside his twin brother but he is different in his approach. His analysis of games and training situations is that of a seasoned pro. As a player, like his brother Mark, I would ask Domenic probing questions to get his thoughts on teams we were playing against and tactical situations. He simply had the mind of an adult as a youth player." ~ John Conlon (East Kentwood Men's Varsity Head Coach, Byron Center Women's Varsity Head Coach)
"The Barone brothers are some of the best soccer players I have played with. The energy they bring to the game is remarkable. They know the game and will definitely help take you to the next level." ~ Jared Timmer (Indy Eleven Player)
"Simply put, the Barone's are professional skill developers who have the correct soccer knowledge and experience. I endorse them 100%." ~ Chris Keenan (Former NCAA player of the year and Kingdom Soccer Owner)
"Great people with a lot of soccer knowledge. If you can match their passion and drive, these guys will take your game to the next level." ~Dzenan Catic (Former Philadelphia Union Player)
Hunter Barone is a great soccer player and even better person. Someone with great technical ability and a high soccer I.Q. I've seen firsthand him excelling in coaching and teaching young players. The Barone family is well known in The GR area for their soccer expertise. Their passion for the game is remarkable and translates into their trainings. I'm excited to see the next generation of talent they help develop." ~ Dejuan Jones (New England Revolution Player)
"Hunter as a player was absolutely electric on the wing and in some ways the most dynamic of the brothers. His pace and ability to unbalance defenders off the dribble was second to none. Hunter played every game like it was his last and brought passion to the game that is sorely missing in most American players. He is a young coach but has grown up observing his dad and older brothers and will slide into the same level of greatness they have achieved as coaches in the next couple of years." ~ John Conlon (East Kentwood Men's Varsity Head Coach, Byron Center Women's Varsity Head Coach)
"Mark may just be the most well rounded player that I have ever seen in West Michigan. He could play basically any position on the field and was a maestro in controlling the game. His passing range and ability to pick out players was legendary. His leadership was second to none and I could tell at age 14 he was going to be a brilliant coach. He is the first player I ever coached that asked questions constantly about why we did things and my thoughts on players and styles of play. Even at 14 he was honing his craft to be a coach and leader. His passion for the game and for the kids he coaches oozes throughout his body and comes from his heart.
