Honorarium work

FIFA Licensed Soccer Coach (MSI SOCCER CLUB)
I coach a U19 Academy Soccer Team, inspired by the impact soccer has had on my daughter’s life. Now a student-athlete on an academic scholarship, her journey has reinforced the significance of coaching, mentorship, and development.
My philosophy is to coach the person, not just the player, which helps them grow both on and off the field.
When I took over two years ago, our team had just one win at the recreational level. Due to their hard work, they now consistently finish at the top of the table and recently reached their first tournament final, gaining interest from collegiate coaches.
Through our club, we’ve expanded access to soccer by awarding scholarships, allowing players from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to play, develop, and learn from each other.
