About Coach Reza
A life in the game
From growing up on the soccer field to international sport and the Olympics, and back to where it all started: coaching players on the field.
My story
Passion, perseverance and the pursuit of excellence
I've spent my life immersed in sport. I was raised playing soccer for different clubs back in Kuwait. Those years weren't just about winning matches. They taught me discipline, teamwork and strategy, and they shaped who I am as an athlete.
I went on to spend more than 14 years working with international sport and football organizations, including the Olympics, and travelled to over 120 countries. Along the way I met legends of the game and learned first-hand what it takes to excel at the highest level.
Now I bring all of that to coaching, to inspire and develop the next generation of soccer players here in Toronto.
