Mamadou D.

I coached youth soccer at Jibs Soccer Club on Long Island, working primarily with U8 and U9 players to develop fundamental skills, tactical awareness, and confidence on the field. As a Recreation Supervisor at Long Island University, I oversaw athletic programs, managed staff, and maintained a safe and engaging environment for athletes of all ages. My background in NCAA Division I soccer and a Bachelor of Science in Sports Management further enhance my ability to coach, motivate, and guide aspiring players toward their athletic goals. I am constantly pursuing my professional development to stay up-to-date on best practices.

Coach & Former Professional Player – Senegal & NCAA Division 1

With over 10 years of experience in high-level football, I now put my expertise to work for young talent. Trained at the prestigious Diambars FC in Senegal, I played in the Senegalese first division and represented the national youth teams.

My career then took me to the United States, where I joined Long Island University (NCAA Division 1). In four seasons, I won three NEC championship titles (2021, 2023, 2024) and was recognized as one of the league's best passers.

🎯 My Mission

I combine my professional experience and coaching skills to provide personalized support to young players. My goal is to develop their technical, tactical, and mental potential, using proven methods and an approach focused on individual development.

In a typical practice session, I begin with a dynamic warm-up focused on mobility and injury prevention, then move into targeted drills emphasizing ball control, passing accuracy, and defensive positioning. Small games and situational drills help build tactical awareness and teamwork, while periodic feedback allows players to make real-time adjustments. I end with a cool-down and constructive discussion, ensuring each athlete understands their progress and areas for continued improvement.
