- My personal experience playing with and against some of the world's best players has helped me grasp the importance of focusing on soccer's finer details. Now, I look forward to passing on my experiences to others (tailored to all ages and individual needs/level), stressing the importance of certain training drills and moves.
My sessions are tailored to each players level, position, unique needs and age. The ultimate goal is to improve my players' technical proficiency and game understanding through personalized soccer sessions that replicate real life game conditions.
Duration: 50 minutes
Keep in mind that I tailor each session depending on your needs, but sessions include among other:
- Dynamic stretching and agility exercises.
- Ball mastery drills to improve touch and control.
- Incorporate quick footwork and agility ladder drills.
- Passing and receiving the ball as well as moving the ball with focus on quick, accurate passing and first touch.
- Working on receiving techniques.
- Various shooting drills, including volleys, headers, and quick releases to simulate game scenarios.
- Transitions from defense to attack or vice versa.
- Constructive feedback and encouragement to foster player development.
- A motivating and fun session!
Sessions are done at a game-like speed - the only way to improve on soccer skills, is to replicate game intensity. I really look forward to the possibility of coaching you or a loved one!

Maribel (CoachUp client)
Wonderful experience with Coach Kofi! He has very good training skills and knows what he's doing. My son is usually shy and takes a bit to open up and ask questions, but he felt very comfortable with him and I noticed he was very engaged. We have been through other trainings and by far, this has been the best one! We drove two hours for training and it was worth every bit of traffic. My son is so excited to continue improving with his guidance and expertise. Highly recommend!
Jessica (CoachUp client)
Coach Kofi worked with my son and in his very first session, gave him the tools to increase his speed, skill level and mental stamina exponentially. He also made the session enormously fun and varied! I would recommend him to teach anyone - he clearly offers a wealth of knowledge and practical techniques to improve an athlete's performance.
Robert (CoachUp client)
We’ve been all around the spectrum of youth soccer and it is so refreshing to finally meet someone with true talent and passion. Coach Kofi brings to the session a high level of real-world soccer experience. His sessions and drills are tailored around real game situations and with real game intensity. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable and respectful, and it was such a joy for me as a parent to watch him bring out the passion and the best from my son. We are blessed to have found Coach Kofi, and my son and I highly recommend you explore training with him.

Coach Kofi is excellent! His training techniques prepare you to be game ready and focuses on development. He gives you the tools to train on your own in between sessions and has a targeted training plan for the time you spend with him. His experience playing at the highest level is the type of training that will motivate you. I would recommend him to anyone, he’s versatile and able to work with all ages
