About Our Expert Coaching Team
Our coaching isn't just about standing on the sidelines; it's about being on the field with your child. Whether it's Coach Paresh Shivalkar's tactical experience as a WIFA Coach of the Year or Coach Kunal Sawant's insights from his time as an ISL goalkeeper, our mentors bring real match-day wisdom to every session. We prioritize a low coach-to-student ratio because we believe who teaches the game is just as important as the game itself.
Our Coaching Philosophy
At OriGen Sports Academy, we believe football is a tool to build better human beings, not just better athletes. Our training is grounded in the 'Stronger Foundations' principle, which dictates how we approach every drill, simulation, and tournament. We aren't looking for quick wins; we are looking for long-term athlete development.
The Experts Behind Team OSA
We are proud to have a technical team that has played and coached at the highest levels of the sport. Our coaching staff includes:
- Coach Paresh Shivalkar: A decorated mentor whose work has been recognized by the Western India Football Association (WIFA). His journey from a professional player to a top-tier coach provides our students with a blueprint for success.
- Coach Kunal Sawant: With a background as a goalkeeper for Mumbai City FC and Kerala Blasters, Kunal brings elite-level defensive training and goalkeeping expertise to our camps.
- Coach Anil: Recently completed his AFC B-License, showcasing our commitment to continuous learning and staying updated with modern football tactics.
Why Our Approach Works
We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all model. Because our coaches have lived the journey from amateur to pro, they know exactly when to push a player and when to focus on technique. By combining professional mentorship with a family-like atmosphere in Mira Road, we ensure that every player—from 3.5-year-olds to our competitive batches—receives attention that respects their individual pace of growth. We celebrate the effort behind every goal, and we treat every match as a lesson, win or lose.
