COACH ZIDAN

After training hundreds of individuals and players, and thousands of hours of fieldwork, filled with experiences, encouragement, and support, a defining moment arrived in my athletic journey: my selection as the fitness coach for the Egyptian national football team, U-17 (2007-born).

I saw players with golden skills… but unaware of their own worth.

A bit of awareness, a bit of guidance… could have put them on the path to professionalism, and their value would’ve been much higher.

But their problem was that they were lost, confused, unsure where to even begin.

And that’s when I realized my true role wasn’t just to give them exercises, but to stand with them as a mentor and as a guide, helping them build a complete professional system, and giving them the strength to implement it.

The goal isn’t just a skilled player… but a player who is mentally and physically professional and life-ready,
before being a professional player in a club or a league.
