“Football gave me everything but it was India that taught me what everything truly means. For 14 years, this land, its wisdom, and its people have shaped the coach and the man I am becoming. To now stand alongside the STAIRS Foundation and the SSFL family, a movement that believes every child has the right to play, the right to dream, and the right to be seen, feels less like a new chapter and more like a coming home. These young players don’t just need technical skill. They need to know that the most important match they will ever play is the one happening inside them. That is the work I am here for.”
