Emilio Peter Coletta
Témoignage (en anglais)

“MOVE MOVE, LET’S GO EMILIO, HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT!!

These words echoing in his ears as he flips the massive tire outside Flex Gym in LaSalle. His hands covered with dirt and sweat from working with the various stones, tires and sledgehammers. Marc Carangi part owner of ATP sports performance clinic located in Flex Gym in Ville LaSalle, looks over everything he does, pushing him past his personal limits. Day after day, this young soccer hopeful pushes himself. Hard work and pain are nothing new to the LaSalle native.

Emilio now 20 years of age is moving into his third season at St-Lawrence University where he was recently named captain. Coming off an excellent season where he was named First Team All Conference, D3Kicks 3rd Team Regional, and 2nd Team Regional All American, not to mention posting 8 shutouts leading the league he is eager to return to school and perform even better. “Hard Work is the way to success” a line he often says to family and friends when they ask him why he trains as he does.   Having played his developmental years in Montreal, he started in LaSalle then moving to the Lac St-Louis Lakers ultimately finding a place with the provincial squad and the Canadian National Training Program. Now he has another great opportunity before he heads back to school having been given a chance to train with the MLS team, the Houston Dynamo.

For the week of August 12th to the 18th he will be in Houston Texas training alongside some of the best. “It is going to be a great experience for me to play with guys like Pat Onstad and Zack Wells, among many others”. Emilio trained with Centre ATP (Athletic Training Performance) and credits them with helping him reach a new level. Whatever the future holds for this bright young soccer player, we all wish him luck in Houston and also with his upcoming season at St-Lawrence.
