Why Me?
Simply put, I coach through the lens of my personal playing and life experiences.
Both my playing and coaching journeys have taught me invaluable lessons that I am passionate about sharing with every player I work with. To me, futbol is more than just a game—it’s a powerful platform for learning, growth, and self-discovery. If I fail to help you recognize the life lessons woven into each session, then I see it as a missed opportunity in our journey together.
MY STORY
Futbol Passion
I have been a devoted student of the game—both as a player and as a coach—gaining experience in the United States and internationally. Growing up in Kenya, I fell in love with futbol (soccer) at the age of five. From that moment, the sport became more than a game—it became a part of who I am. I lived it, breathed it, and dreamed about it every day.
As a player, I had the privilege of competing at various levels, each experience shaping my understanding of the game. Like many athletes, I faced challenges along the way, including a kidney injury sustained in a collision with a goalkeeper. Remarkably, despite the injury, I managed to score—a moment that remains one of my fondest and most defining memories on the field.
Although that injury changed the trajectory of my playing career, it did not diminish my passion for futbol. It fueled my transition into coaching, where I have been fortunate to work in diverse environments and across multiple levels of the sport. Each experience has enriched my perspective, deepened my knowledge, and strengthened my commitment to helping players not only develop their skills but also grow as individuals.
For me, coaching is about more than tactics and technique—it’s about guiding players to discover the life lessons within the game, fostering resilience, teamwork, and confidence that extend far beyond the field.
