I start my athletic accomplishments with my making it to the regional's level for ODP when I was a kid in 2010. I then made my way to McLean academy where I was competing at a very high level against teams like DC United Academy. I went to Broad Run High School as I was a starter for my state championship team in 2014 and went to the finals again the next year in 2015. I have won multiple all-conference awards and was the leader of assists in the year 2015 for high school soccer. On to the next chapter of my life, I competed at the collegiate level at the University of Mary Washington as I am now an Alumni.

Team coaches don’t have time to teach individual training to each player. My personal training will provide personal feedback and give players the ability to focus on individual weaknesses to build confidence in there game. As I understand and went through the process of how to compete at an extremely high level, I will share the skills I have learned through the years. I will focus on pressurized technical drills on how to take a player 1 on 1 as they will learn how to build speed and quickness with the ball. Having the time to build important skills to bring players to the next level in their game is crucial and needs to be trained as early as possible in their careers. I will train players how to finish with confidence and accuracy to make them into a game changing player. Their are times when players become too hard on themselves because they find themselves not being able to do the correct thing. Almost very soccer player experiences this. The best therapy in these times is enforcing positive feedback and truthful correction responses. Everyone makes mistakes and its the players job to learn/grow from those mistakes to enhance their careers. These are the things you get to hear every week if you have me as a private soccer tutor.

I provide:
- Cooler filled with Water/Gatorade
- Soccer balls (still bring yours if you have one)
- Listening to music with my Sony speaker (pop, hip/hop rap, edm)
- Med kit and bags of ice just in case of any minor injury

Coach Karim is an amazing trainer that really pays attention to detail! He customized your training to what you asked him work on then targets those weaknesses in training. If you’re like me looking for a coach, look no further! Coach Karim will make sure you are getting the right training all while making it fun and competitive 👍🏽

Great session with Karim! Very attentive, knowledgeable and not afraid to push a bit beyond my sons comfort zone. Quickly assessed challenges. Signing up for more sessions for sure!

Karim really knows how to push you to your limits and beyond. Professional training regime that will prepare you for the next level of soccer you’re looking to achieve. He sees untapped potential in all his players, and I believe that’s why he loves doing this and it shows. Karim definitely displays his soccer knowledge he’s learned off and on the field which is great information for anyone looking to grow in the game. Great coach. Be ready to work hard!
I have been training with Karim for some time now. Not only has he helped me improve my endurance, my touches and confidence have improved in the pitch. He pays attention to unique needs; he keeps track of your performance to show how you have improved over time. I recommend coach Karim to anyone, any age. I wish I had him as a trainer when I was younger, I would’ve taken full advantage.
Karim prepared me for college soccer in the most professional way possible. He teaches the game from a perspective of someone who has played at the highest level. From Karim, you’ll learn how to be brilliant not only as an individual but as a teammate. I highly recommend Karim’s training to anyone looking to get better at soccer.
Had the best training ever with Karim. It’s so unique as he tracks your performance using analytics in real-time to maximum performance. You can feel how much he cares about actually improving his clients! Awesome guy.
I love his program with all the intensity, toughness, and endurance. My touch has improved, my aggressiveness as a defender, and I can move the ball up the field more easily. Highly recommend this.
Coach Karim has been great at enhancing our son’s style of play. Karim has a close eye for detail and the fundamentals of good ball movement and control. Karim works well with youth and enforces the lessons with discipline and fun!
I hired coach Karim to improve my sons soccer ball control/speed skills through 1v1 training. He is a good coach who's always on time, comes well prepared for drills. So far conducted 3-4 training with my son . He is very friendly, skilled and helped improving my sons skills /confidence in few sessions. Would continue to hire him and highly recommend to anyone looking to hire personal soccer coach for their kids.
Karim was attentive to the specific needs of my child and adapted a program to build of those needs. Karim was on-time (early) and actually spent more time with my child; over 60min.
