🇮🇪 Coaching Journey in Ireland ⚽️
In 2017, I spent a year in Ireland, immersing myself in European football culture with the goal of gaining valuable coaching experience and earning coaching qualifications.
During this time, I had the privilege of working with local children and club teams, learning from experienced coaches, and developing my skills in an international environment.
Even now, I return to Europe every few years to update my knowledge and integrate modern European coaching methodologies into EFA's training programs.
📌 Coaching Qualifications:
✅ 2021 – UEFA C License (Ireland)
✅ 2024 – UEFA B License (Germany)
I am committed to continuously learning world-class coaching techniques and passing that knowledge on to the next generation of players.
Coaching Journey in New Zealand ⚽️
I spent 1 year and 3 months in New Zealand, where I took on one of the biggest challenges of my career—launching my own soccer school.
What started with just a few players quickly spread through word of mouth, and within a few months, the school grew to 30-40 players every weekend.
I was fortunate to meet amazing children and supportive parents, which gave me the confidence to pursue coaching as a lifelong career.
This experience was truly life-changing, without it, I wouldn't be where I am today.
Coaching & Playing in Australia ⚽️
I spent around four years in Australia, balancing my time between playing as a footballer and coaching young players.
📸 Left: Mia, one of my former students, who grew up in Australia.
📸 Right: Kiwi, my former teammate and close friend, a Vietnamese-Australian player.
Australia is the country where I spent the longest time abroad, and it became my "second home", filled with countless friendships and unforgettable experiences.
This time in Australia shaped my coaching philosophy and approach to football, influencing the way I teach and develop players today.
Coaching Journey in Canada ⚽️
I spent 1 year and 3 months in Canada, arriving in Vancouver on a working holiday shortly after retiring as a player. My goal was to gain coaching experience in English, and just like in New Zealand, I took on the challenge of building a soccer school from scratch.
This time, the results surpassed even my success in New Zealand, proving that my coaching methods could thrive in different environments.
I also gained valuable experience coaching at local clubs and at the Barcelona Academy Vancouver, further refining my skills.
What started in New Zealand as confidence in coaching transformed into certainty during my time in Canada. I knew this was the path I was meant to follow.
