Kamran Malek is a licensed fire protection engineer technician and
the President and co-founder of International Fire Protection, Inc.,
with headquarters in Madison, Alabama.
He is also a soccer enthusiast who has coached teams in youth soccer programs for the last twenty years. As he knows, coaching youth soccer teams is about more than designing plays or creating team formations. It’s a big responsibility, since parents are entrusting their kids to the coach, and it also involves being a teacher, role model and mentor. Youth coaches must always model appropriate behaviors and attitudes during practice sessions and during games by demonstrating respect for each member of the team, and praising the players as much as possible.
A big part of being a youth soccer coach is about communication with players and their parents, and helping the players to develop character. As Kamran Malek is fond of telling his team, the greatest rewards begin when you stop asking “What’s in it for me?” and begin to ask, “How can I help you?” He also believes that his players’ confidence will grow with achievement. It’s important for youth coaches in any sport to model good sportsmanship, too, so that they understand that while winning is pleasurable, it is not the only thing there is to the game.
Kamran Malek’s playing experience include the Huntsville Adult League from 1992 to 2010, and when he was a student at Tennessee Technological University 1977 to 1980. His coaching experiences with youth teams goes back to 1996.
