Play Soccer at T.Y. Park

Braxton Taghvai-Najib is a former professional soccer player turned elite performance trainer and founder of SoFlo Soccer Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. After developing through high-level academies and competing professionally with organizations including Inter Miami CF, Portland Timbers, and Birmingham Legion FC, Braxton transitioned from playing at the professional level to building one of South Florida’s premier private training environments. He signed his first professional contract at 16 years old — gaining firsthand experience in what it truly takes to move from youth soccer to the professional stage. Today, he trains: • 200+ youth players annually • Collegiate athletes • Professional players competing in MLS & USL • Aspiring pros preparing for European opportunities

"We cannot recommend Braxton in his team enough. My son has been training with him for over a year and what a difference a year has made. Braxton put his heart and soul into his clients and it shows the talent is endless and you won’t be disappointed with him or anyone on his team best thing we ever did for our son.

Professional footballer with 15+ years in MLS academies and Europe, teaching the full game — training, nutrition, mindset, and daily discipline. I help serious players train with intention, fuel like pros, and build the mental edge that separates starters from spectators — one session at a time. I also help kids get started with live, fun soccer introductions that foster a long term love for the game.

""We love working with Coach Luke because he is so flexible and makes each session enjoyable. He is extremely approachable and willing to partner alongside our family to make sure our daughter develops to her full potential."

"Our son Alec participates in Golden Touch’s developmental classes. He enjoys going each week and has improved dramatically since first starting. Coach Winston and his staff truly want to see the kids succeed; he’ll often stop practice and remind the players what they should be focusing on. Proper skill development is his first priority. When Coach Winston speaks, it’s in a genuine way, and in a way that makes my son want to improve so that one day he will reach the level of soccer expertise of the other talented players on Golden Touch United.
