I started doing my coach education from India when I did the AIFF Grassroots Leaders Course under Scott O Donell, the Technical Director of All India Football Federation’s Academies.
I moved to the United Kingdom for higher studies and for better coach education. I have successfully completed the English FA’s Level 1 Football Coaching Course under the Cheshire FA where the course was led by Rebecca Pilkington. I have also completed the English FA Level 2 (Block 1) under the Liverpool County FA led by Stephen Grace and James Burton.
I have worked in the AIFF’s Grassroots Programme initiated by the All India Football Federation for the development of Indian football. AIFF have opened centers across the country and I have been a part of one of the centers in the state of Kerala as an Assistant coach. After working as an assistant coach, I had the opportunity to work as a head coach in a different center where I was able to bring my potential independently. I believe that I am always good in interacting with kids and with their parents. I have always given importance in making the sessions more fun and also effective.
I have started playing football when I was 11 and played for various school and college teams. My first professional club was Golden Threads FC, Kochi, India.
I do follow football always by watching major football leagues around the world. I am a fan of FC Barcelona and Kerala Blasters FC.
