Ahmad Ansari
Ahmad is a UEFA Licensed coach who has been coaching Soccer within Academies and Football Clubs in the past decade. During that time he has coached adults, youngsters, boys and girls at various levels and age groups.
In his personal coaching philosophy a good coach is skilled in planning and setting up goals; prioritizing what to focus on and what to be avoided. Understanding players’ motivation, being organized and composed at all time. That’s how they can gain the respect of players.
Ahmad has a player-centred philosophy and believes their development should come first. They participate in sport to have Fun, Learn and Feel Worthy and it’s the coach’s job to create the environment to prepare them for participation so they can express themselves.
He also believes children should know success is not just defeating others and always being first. It means achieving personal goals and doing better than what they have done before. If they commit to the process, be consistent and work with their whole heart, results will come and winning will take care of itself.
In Active Soccer Academy training, sessions are pre planned and designed suitably for relevant age groups. In practice, players understand what they are expected to do so they can make intelligent decisions and take greater responsibility for their own learning and acting.
The journey of becoming a more complete player begins by building confidence and then learning to maintain it after setbacks.
