Coach Kai: 1:1 Coaching

​

For Coach Kai, soccer is more than just a game—it’s a way of life. From his early days as an elite youth player to competing at the professional level in the Netherlands, China and Korea, his journey has been defined by discipline, passion, and an unrelenting drive for excellence. Now, with over 20 years of experience in youth, collegiate, and professional soccer, he brings his expertise to the next generation of players.

​

His coaching philosophy is built on a strong foundation of fundamentals, conditioning, and decision-making. He believes in training that goes beyond skill development—training that sharpens the mind, strengthens the body, and prepares players for the fast-paced demands of the game. With certifications in sports nutrition, functional strength training, and mentorship under the Korean Sports and Olympic Committee, Coach Kai offers a holistic approach to player development.

​

Since moving to the U.S., Coach Kai has worked with over 100+ elite male and female athletes competing in ECNL, RCL, EA, DPL, etc. His coaching isn’t just about drills—it’s about precision, repetition, and ingraining the right habits to make movement instinctive. He pushes players to make quick, effective decisions where their body moves before they even think—because in high-level soccer, hesitation is the difference between success and failure.

​

With a personalized approach, Coach Kai offers both group and 1:1 training sessions designed for players who are serious about reaching their full potential. Whether your child is just starting or looking to compete at the highest level, Coach Kai’s training provides the tools needed to succeed.
