“When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready... The teacher will disappear.”

    ― Tao Te Ching

Football has been an integral part of his life since he was three years old. His passion for the game began with a ball at his feet, and by the age of ten, he was already playing for his local club, US Joué-Lès-Tours. It didn’t take long for him to realize his natural talent as a goalkeeper. At just eleven years old, he joined Tours Football Club, a second-division team in France, marking the beginning of a pivotal chapter in his football journey.

​

Training at the Tours FC academy accelerated his development, and within two years, he caught the attention of Stade Rennais, a top-tier club in Ligue 1. At the age of 13, he made the leap to Rennes’ prestigious academy, where he spent the next six years honing his skills from U13 to U19. The rigorous training and competitive environment helped shape him into the goalkeeper he became.

​

He has since transitioned into coaching, where he takes great pride in nurturing the next generation of players. Currently based in San Francisco, he focuses on developing young players’ technical abilities, fostering teamwork, and instilling a deep passion for the game. His mission as a coach is not only to teach the sport but to inspire players to pursue their dreams, just as he did.
