He is a VertiMax ambassador and has been a Certified VertiMax Master Trainer and Presenter, leveraging VertiMax equipment to redefine soccer training with innovative techniques.
In this episode, we learn about Will's experience working with the Jamaican women's national soccer team. At the beginning, Will had to learn how to work with the limited resources he had.
