Coach Farfan
Background - Education
Hello! My name is Victor Farfan and I was born in Peru and moved to the United States in 2005. I graduated high school in 2007 and earned my college degrees in Mathematics and Adolescence Education in 2011 and 2013 respectively. I taught at the college level for 3 years until I got hired at a public school as a math teacher in 2016. I'm currently working at that same school as a grade 7-8 bilingual math teacher.
Playing / Coaching Experience
I have played soccer my entire life! I played for my uncle's team and other youth teams in Peru until I was 15 and moved to the United States. When I came to the US, I played for my high school team and started playing for a youth team in my area. During my college years, I played 4 years for 2 colleges and local teams. I gradually stopped playing since I started working to support my family and moved more into coaching.
​
I started my coaching experience with a small team at my church, in which I was a member of the youth group and we played in a league against other churches. It was such a great experience and that's how everything started!
Years later, I started coaching at the club level and school level working with youth teams. While I was getting coaching experience, I started to work on my coaching licenses, and I currently (2023) hold my USSF C license. I plan on moving forward and work toward my Pro License to expand my knowledge about this beautiful sport.
How did NEXT LEVEL SDP start?
I decided to create Next Level SDP to share all my ideas for coaches that might need support and help. Soccer/Football is my passion, and through this website I get to share that passion with parents, coaches, and players that love the sport as much as I do. I hope that this project keeps growing so that I can accomplish my mission, which is to provide support for coaches and players all over the world. I'm committed to go the extra mile to achieve my goals and make NEXT LEVEL SDP a complete success. Your support is greatly appreciated.
