Why I coach for TKO Premier SC: 

I have two sons playing at TKO. I am passionate about building leadership qualities in kids. To be a good leader, we need to be able to focus, handle pressure and learn to work well with others. Playing soccer helps build these qualities in players that then transfer to their daily lives beyond the field.

Fun fact about me: 

I am a scientist and an entrepreneur by profession. I enjoy bringing some of my structure and professional qualities to the field.

It is fair to say that Liverpool Football Club often takes me through an emotional rollercoaster! My family and I are avid Liverpool fans. I enjoy traveling to Anfield a couple of times a year to watch some home games.   

Parent Perspective: 

“His passion towards soccer is contagious to not only the players but also the parents”.

“Coach Deepak is determined and will refuse to let the kids be anything but the best they can be”.
