About

Hi, i'm Coach Dasan...

What makes me a well-rounded trainer, capable of supporting athletes of all ages and skill levels, is my diverse experiences with soccer. Not only did I play professionally for 6 years, I remain connected to the game at all levels. I currently serve as a sports commentator for the Chicago Fire which allows me to analyze the game at the pro level. I’m also an MLS Next Scout and support with identifying the nations top youth soccer talent. Additionally, I consult a local youth soccer club that develops hundreds of players annually between the ages of 3 to 14.

It’s important for me to stay abreast of how the game is evolving to ensure my athletes get the best training possible.

Coach Dasan is beyond fantastic. We have never had such personalized training for our son. Coach Dasan is continuously evaluating him to determine the best training plan possible. But he is also asking our son what he wants to work on and adapts that into each training session. We had different situations where our son just wasn’t grasping what coach was teaching him. Coach Dasan went back and took the time to research other ways to teach the concept to our son vs repeating the same thing over. Coach Dasan truly takes ownership of meeting each child where they’re at and growing each child individually at an appropriate pace for them.

Coach Dasan ‘s soccer skills are fantastic but what is extraordinary about him is his ability to teach it to children. As a former school teacher he is really able to connect with his students. He not only cares about them from a Soccer perspective but also as a whole person – physically and mentally. Our son has had some mentally challenging times with the game, and Coach Dasan took the time to truly listen to him and offer guidance. He is also attending our sons team soccer games. Coach goes above and beyond and we could be more thankful. Coach Dasan has truly become extended family. We are so grateful to him and all the time, energy and effort he has put into our son. We’ve seen take big strides in his soccer skills. Thanks Coach!
