My name is Maksim Osokin, and I am an experienced coach in both soccer and football, with many years of work at youth, high school, college, and national team levels.
I bring a strong background in player development, offensive systems, practice planning, and performance analysis, helping athletes grow technically, tactically, physically, and mentally.
As a former competitive athlete in both soccer and American football with championship experience, I understand the challenges players face and how to guide them toward their highest potential.
My focus is on discipline, intelligent play, structured training, and modern coaching methodology to support athletes’ success both on and off the field.
