Fueling passion and precision on the pitch for over 25 years, I develop skillful players through tailored soccer coaching. My experience ensures a fun and effective learning environment where athletes can reach their full potential. During my career, I played professionally in Sweden, Israel, Serbia, Romania, and Portugal, and proudly represented the Liberia Senior Men’s National Team in World Cup Qualifier matches. I've coached and developed players who now play professionally in the MLS, including Bryant Farkarlun (Austin FC) and Joseph Melto Quiah (All-American, currently with Toronto FC). For the past four years, I've been one of the coaches at Philadelphia Lone Star, helping the team win several trophies and compete at regional and national levels. I’m passionate about winning and fully committed to helping my players grow and succeed.

"My son really enjoys training with Coach Arnold, especially how he keeps him focused and ties in game situations. Still, more of the same would be great since he’s quite happy with how things are going. If Arnold keeps up the good work, I think future lessons will continue to be beneficial for him.

I believe every athlete can succeed. I welcome all ages and skill levels, meeting each player where they are and helping them reach their full potential. My coaching develops confidence, fundamentals, game IQ, and adaptability through my Wheel of Adaptation philosophy, teaching athletes how to think, adjust, and grow. Every session is engaging, personalized, and designed to build a competence for the game.

I've known and loved the game of soccer ever since I was 5. I can teach the basics of the game, the skills you need to learn, and the information you need to know to be able to talk the game, play the game, and see the game like an expert! My most recent experience as a coach has been teaching ages 4-14 the game of soccer through programs in the suburban Philadelphia area, but I am able to teach any age. I am a high-energy coach who will make sure you are understanding basic concepts!
