Shafiq A.

Experienced coaching youth soccer teams ranging from U7 through U13, as well as coaching a men's open team. Coaching the men's open team has been incredibly rewarding. I have coached in several cities in California, including Fremont, Hayward, and Tracy. Typically, I work with age groups ranging from U12 to U19 individually and in small groups.

As a Jr. college soccer player, I earned state all-team varsity honors twice and helped my men's team win 9 championships in New Jersey, Virginia, and California. I've received multiple individual awards, including best defensive player and MVP, which reflect my passion and dedication to soccer excellence.

As a soccer coach, I am passionate about helping players develop into impactful athletes. I believe in focusing on a variety of areas, including developing tactical skills, building special awareness, understanding individual and team responsibilities, understanding the visual geometry of the game, and improving physical abilities.

By working on these key areas, players can develop a deeper understanding of the game and become more confident on the field. I strive to create a supportive and positive environment that allows players to thrive and reach their full potential. Through hard work and dedication, I believe that any player can improve and become an impactful member of their team.
