More About Coach Chinonso Emmanuel
I’m Coach Emmanuel, a former professional football (soccer) player from Senegal with over 8 years of experience on and off the field. After my playing career, I spent 5 years training and mentoring athletes—including youth, amateur, and professional players; helping them improve their skills, fitness, and game performance. I specialize in designing individualized training programs that build technical skills, tactical awareness, and overall athleticism including: strength, explosiveness, coordination, conditioning, and injury prevention.
I’m hardworking, dependable, and passionate about seeing players progress both physically and mentally. Whether you’re just starting out or aiming to take your game to the next level, I’ll bring the same energy, dedication, and positive attitude I had as a pro.
I’m fluent in English and French, CPR & First Aid certified, and ready to help you unlock your full potential on the field. Let’s get to work!
I competed professionally in Dakar, Senegal for three years.
ACHIEVEMENTS:
1: Senegal FA Award, Best young striker/player of the year 2010
2: Senegal FA Cup finalist with 5 goals scored in the tournament
3: Youngest Highest goal scorer of the year 2010
A typical session with me starts with a quick warm-up and dynamic stretches to get the body ready and reduce the risk of injury. We then move into ball control and passing drills to sharpen technical skills. After that, I focus on game-like scenarios such as small-sided games, movement off the ball, and decision-making under pressure so players can translate training directly into match performance.
Depending on the athlete’s needs, I also work on speed, agility, and explosiveness through ladder drills, cone work, and sprint variations. Strength and conditioning exercises are included to build endurance and prevent injury.
Every session is tailored to the player’s goals. Whether we are building foundational skills or preparing for high-level competition, the training is purposeful, challenging, and fun.

Megan (CoachUp client)
My son loves working with Coach Emmanuel!
Christi (CoachUp client)
My son has been struggling with his love of soccer lately. We signed him up and after one session his heart is back in it. He had so much fun and learned so much in just an hour. We already signed up for more sessions and can’t wait to watch him grow! Amazing coach!
Vince (CoachUp client)
Coach Emmanuel is passionate about soccer and is an inspiration for my son. Our first session my son said he had never worked harder at a soccer practice.
Takako (CoachUp client)
Deciding to have my 15 year old son work with Coach Emmanuel was the best decision! My son has played competitive soccer for years but Coach Emmanuel was able to help sharpen my son’s intensity and skills after just one session. Each session after that has helped accelerate my son’s development and refine his approach. Coach Emmanuel has been flexible, very supportive, exceptional at honing into my son’s needs, and is highly recommended!!
