Ahmed A.

I currently coach youth soccer in New York, working with academy-level players and focusing on technical, tactical, and individual player development. As an active professional player, I bring real match experience and professional standards into my coaching. I hold USSF Grassroots licenses and Scottish FA 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 qualifications, and I have received a USSF waiver allowing me to progress directly to the C License pathway.

I am an active professional soccer player who developed in the youth academies of Zamalek SC and Al Ahly SC in Egypt. At senior level, I have played for El Gouna FC, Haras El Hodood, and Baladeyet El Mahalla, competing professionally in Egypt with 85+ senior appearances. I primarily play as a center back and defensive midfielder and have also served as a team captain.

Every session is designed around the player’s age, level, position, and individual goals. I focus on first touch, passing and receiving, ball control, scanning, movement, 1v1 situations, decision-making, and game-realistic exercises. For advanced players, I include position-specific training, tactical understanding, and details they can transfer directly into matches. Sessions progress from technical activation into higher-intensity exercises and competitive game situations.
