More About Coach Ibra
I have had the pleasure of working with and coaching soccer athletes from ages 4 to 17 years old. I have volunteered as an assistant coach for the Players Development Academy in New Jersey, have worked as a NLSA assistant coach for a U12 group and have been the head coach for a U8 group. I also have experience in U10 one-on-one coaching in Connecticut and West Virginia. I am now working as a part-time coach with a national-based soccer academy. I have been fortunate enough to work with athletes from pre-school to high school and I love working with all these age groups.
I am CPR and concussion trained.
I am a former D1 athlete and played for the University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!) and Marshall University (We Are...Marshall!). During, my time at UConn, I was selected as the "Best Individual Performance of the Year" and at Marshall, won the 2022 College Spring League. I played for The Pennington High School, in New Jersey, where I was named the National Player of the Year and was ranked as the #1 recruit in the country. During this time, I also played for the Players Development Academy.
A native from Senegal, I played for the U20 Senegalese National Team, playing 6 games with 3 goals and 2 assists. From 2016 to present, I have experience playing with professional clubs in Europe, including, Dusseldorf, Benfica, Strasbourg etc. and professional teams in the United States, as well.
When training an athlete, I focus on building the player's comfort with the ball. I am here to make them feel confident in their abilities and skills and help them become stronger in both. We will start the session with a warm-up without the ball and then we will move on to drills, soccer basics, and technical skill work. We will then work on finishing and on one-on-one defending and attacking. It is important to me that we will build the athlete to their highest potential while also working on skills that matter to them, so I am flexible in adjusting the session to fit the individual athlete's needs.
