Coach Tarek – Soccer Coach, Analyst & Executive

I’m Tarek “Coach T” Dahboul, a soccer coach and educator with over 20 years of experience coaching in Brazil and the United States. Alongside coaching, I take on leadership work that’s common in Director-level roles, building player development frameworks, leading coaching education, and designing programs that scale.

My focus is simple: help players and coaches understand the game better, raise the technical level, and enjoy football for the right reasons. I care deeply about building a strong soccer culture, one that values creativity, intelligence, joy, and community.

To me, football is more than results. It’s a shared language. A place where people from different backgrounds connect, compete, learn, and have fun. The experience matters more than the scoreboard.

My Website

This site is my coaching portfolio and learning space. I use it to share ideas, break down the game, and support the growth of the soccer community.

You’ll find:

• Match and training analysis that connects what happened to why it happened
• Practical coaching insights you can apply immediately
• Interviews and conversations with current and former players and coaches
• Open discussion that welcomes different viewpoints, because that’s how we all improve

Coaching

My coaching starts with the foundation: individual skill, confidence, and self-expression. As players grow, the focus expands to tactical understanding, decision-making, and game awareness.

I focus on technical and game development. I do not offer fitness training as a standalone service.

Coaching Services

1) Individual Training (Private Sessions)
Personalized 60 or 120-minute sessions built around your needs, including technique, first touch, ball mastery, finishing, and decision-making.
