Est. 2021--> The mission of Dajani Training is to create a meaningful difference within the soccer community that will set the children up for success through club, high school, college, and professionally. I am fortunate enough to combine my two greatest passions - soccer and education. I want to teach and impact the kids to be well-guided for success, utilizing my high-level playing experience
and love for the game, all while instilling my core values in each training session. Bio:
