About me

🟦 Playing Background

My playing journey has taken me through different levels and environments, from youth academy football in Portugal to university and semi-professional football in North America and Europe.

I’ve competed in Portugal’s youth system with Moreirense U-18 and S.C. Braga U-19, before moving into senior football in Sweden with Veberöds AIF and BHSK Malmö in Division 3 Södra Götaland.

At the university level, I played four seasons with the Carleton University Varsity Men’s Soccer Team (U SPORTS), where I developed in a high-performance environment while balancing academic and athletic demands.

I also competed in League1 Ontario with Unionville Milliken SC, continuing to challenge myself in competitive senior environments.

The goal at SoccerKim is not just to run sessions, but to help players understand how to train, think, and perform at a higher level.
