I'm a player myself and I believe coaching will help me to improve mentally by providing my experience to other soccer players. I have soccer experience in Europe, from London to Madrid that has allowed me to prove myself to many soccer clubs along my career. I trained soccer athletes during my school years and trained an u-18's age group in London with a team known as Allstars Skills Academy. I haven't had an actual job with coaching but I believe that I can provide great sessions to athletes following my soccer expertise. I like to work with athletes aged 14-19 as they can mentally understand my way of demonstrating the game. I don't have any industry certifications but I've coached athletes by receiving trust from senior coaches that have UEFA licenses. Therefore I'm very motivated to help athletes in reaching their goals.

As a soccer player, I played with many academies in my career as well as 4 years during school. I started playing with a Saudi Arabian team known as Al-Nasr for a period of one year. I stepped up my performance and left my parents to go abroad to United Kingdom, London to promote my experience to a higher level. I began with Allstars Skills Academy where I had 13 goals and 8 assists in 18 games, allowing me to be the team's top scorer (Semi-Professional - Mens Soccer). In 2013/14, I decided to move to Madrid to play at a higher division. Within the year, I received professional training with a team called Rayo Majadahonda (3 months), then trained at Villanueva Pardillo, UD San Sebastian, Alcobendas Sport and lastly, C.D Commercial. I believe with my european experience, I can promote the qualities I have learnt and apply it to athletes who are willing to pick up their game at high levels.

In my sessions, I tend to make it as entertaining as possible for the athlete. I mainly focus on technique, the ability to have perfect touches, speed drills for acceleration, ball control and most importantly, game awareness and trying to maintain consistency throughout a 90 minute soccer match. In a typical hour session, the first 10 minutes is to warm up to avoid minor/major injuries, followed by kick ups to allow improvements in ball control, taking good first touches to have a clear picture of the game, checking shoulders before taking a touch to check for awareness around the pitch (Who's behind and where to pass), dribbling skills to maintain close control and speed sessions to improve quick feet on and off the ball (Acceleration). Lastly but not least, I would like to mention that I had been trained by certified coaches with UEFA A and B License from the FA in United Kingdom.
