Academy Coach, Armenia

“Children living in remote regions of Armenia have a lot of difficulties and challenges. There are a lot of obstacles to their holistic development. What I appreciate about the football academy is the opportunity to develop kids emotionally, psychologically, and physically at the same time.”
