MEET THE FOUNDER

What's up, ballers? I'm Kofi Schulz, a pro footballer and founder of Kofi Football.

MY STORY

From a very young age, I dreamed of fulfilling my highest potential to become a professional football player. With much enthusiasm, I decided to join a football college in England after moving from Germany to make this dream come true.

But on the first registration day, I was in for a real surprise. The coaches told each player that it was impossible to make it to the professional level. We were too old and should focus on a more achievable goal. The odds were against me because of all academy players, less than 1% make it to the professional level, and I wasn’t even attending one.

This statement crushed the hopes and dreams of most players who shared the same desire to make it to the top. But I was fueled with motivation to prove everybody wrong. I thought, how would my odds look like if I’m the fittest, fastest, most robust with the best footballing abilities? Inspired by a famous Nelson Mandela quote, I remembered:

It always seems impossible until it’s done.

I quickly realised I could reach my ultimate goal with the right mindset and training resources. So I got a part-time job while studying to finance my training equipment and to afford training programs. With discipline and focus, I began training individually multiple times weekly, which improved my game drastically. Fast forward to the present, I can proudly say that I achieved my dream of becoming a professional football player through consistent hard work and faith.

THE BEGINNING

In early 2022, after years of research into optimum training for football players and countless conversations with coaches, nutritionists and mental experts, I decided to support ambitious footballers with a digital football training platform to share all the information I’d gathered throughout my career.

With so much misleading information about training, nutrition and mindset, it can be difficult for footballers to witness progressive results to take their game to the next level. I knew I wanted to contribute the experience and knowledge I gained throughout my career to the football community, so I threw myself into creating Kofi Football.

THE MISSION

The sole purpose of the Kofi Football is to enable motivated football players the opportunity to discover and fulfil their highest potential on the field. By providing highly structured and effective football training programs, workouts, and exercises. Including lifestyle content like nutrition and mindset guides with additional helpful resource tools to make better footballers.
