I love all types of sports and have good experience, especially since I was a professional water polo player and participated in many international tournaments, including the World Water Polo Championship.
Over a decade, I have honed my experience as a swimming coach, working with individuals of all ages and skill levels, in various countries (Syria – Dubai – USA) including children and adults. In addition, I am also a lifeguard , first aid instructor and international referee in swimming and water polo.
My ability to inspire and motivate swimmers to achieve their best is evident in the progress and results I have seen throughout my career. For example, I have helped people who were initially afraid of the water to become confident swimmers who now enjoy the sport. Similarly, I have guided individuals who never considered competitive swimming to train with local clubs up to six times a week.
My passion in sports led me to pursue a Master Degree in Sports Management Madison state university USA.
Coaching Style:
There are five phases of swimming training: endurance, strength, speed, taper, and recovery, and I spend time focusing on each phase. So I have to scout each swimmer and focus on the weak points.
