Hi! My name is Tejan and it has been my dream for the past 8 years to provide quality, informative and exciting soccer training to young players in New Orleans. I officially started Top Shelf Training around 4 years ago and we have been going strong ever since! I was born and raised in the city, so I understand the joy and love that permeates our beings as New Orleanians, and I wanted to combine that with the passion I have for soccer.
At Top Shelf Training, you are guaranteed to get the whole package - exciting, fun, informational and dynamic training that is guaranteed to improve your abilities and make you fall in love with soccer.
Always Improving!
Our Story
I started playing soccer as a 6 year old - but I fell in love with it as a 7 year old. I was enamored by the creativity and fluidity of soccer players, the joy and excitement they felt whenever they scored a goal. As a 18 year old, I tore my hamstring, preventing me from continuing to play at the level I was at. It was a truly humbling experience that shaped my views on soccer and life in general.
HARD WORK.
As a 19 year old, I had the chance to get back into the game I loved as an active participant, though not in the way I dreamed. I started off training as a favor - but it quickly grew into one of my favorite things to do. Now as a trainer, I am able to watch and facilitate that same love and joy I had for others. It is a wonderful dream - one that I hope to continue for a long time.
PREPARATION.
What began as a passion for soccer has evolved into something more. Top Shelf is on a mission to provide the highest quality training for everyone. We’re proud of where we started and we’re even more excited for the direction we are headed. No matter your level, everyone has the ability to grow as a player and a person. Train the Top Shelf way and set your goal to Always be Improving!
DEDICATION.
