Testimonials
“Coach Shahin was an integral part of my daughter’s development, especially during that window when female athletes leave their beloved sport of soccer! Many wonderful developments happened to Amélie under Coach Shahin’s tutelage. My daughter became a stronger player, she gained her confidence back, she honed her free kicks and corner kicks, she learned about discipline and hard work, her game IQ increased exponentially, she believed in herself, she took on many challenges which demanded strength and courage, pushed herself to tears and most significantly, Coach Shahin taught Amélie how to manage and overcome her adversities.
​
I must give props when props are due…so THANK YOU Coach Shahin for that year of growth, development and success. Amélie would not be where she is today in this world of soccer without you!”

"Shahin is an incredible person and always brings his thoughtfulness, wisdom, and kindness to not only the kids he manages with OPDL but to the parents and other leaders within the club.
We have had the pleasure of him managing our son in OPDL and know that our son developed a more analytical understanding of games and his performances due to Shahin’s leadership.
Shahin introduced, at a critical time in our son’s development, the benefits of having a positive athletic mindset, eating/sleeping well (including menu ideas), and encouraged players to re-evaluate their games and break them down into key areas for review.
I would not hesitate to recommend Shahin to others as he is consistently a positive leader to all, on and off the field."

Shahin was a huge part of the reason why we joined the team/club. He was a communicative, thoughtful and inspiring coach to our son.
