We currently have a home field located at Active Kidz Shanghai Children's Field. This is where we host our Shanghai Wolves program that consists of over 250 kids and more than 100 adults.

These kids aren't just learning plays — they're learning character, teamwork, and life lessons, the same way my coaches gave to me when I was young. Some of them dream of one day representing China on the global stage — maybe even at the World Games or the Olympics.

There have been tough moments — long days, cultural differences, even times when I questioned whether I was truly making an impact. But every smile after a touchdown, every handshake from a grateful parent, reminds me I'm exactly where I'm meant to be.

I often say the dots keep connecting — each opportunity leading to the next, each child's success fueling the journey. We have sent many athletes abroad for football while also training many of them to prepare to represent their national team here.

Watching kids chase their dreams through football has been deeply rewarding. More than anything, I want our work as coaches to leave a lasting mark on their lives — on and off the field.

This journey isn't just about football. It's about growth, connection, and building bridges across cultures. For me, Shanghai has become more than a place I coach — it's become part of my story.
