Soccer By Dae

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.
