Meet Your Coach
Hello, Coach Joshua Yoda here. I am super happy you are here and I look forward to getting to know you better as we work hard and have fun. Growing up in Ghana I developed a strong passion for soccer. I have always found Joy in sports and physical wellness.
I am grateful to have met and married my beautiful wife Julia, during our college years. We finished our college careers in 2015. Throughout college, I was a Division 1 football player for Liberty University. I played a role in helping the team win 3 conference championships from 2012-to 2015, and for the first time in school history, we made our first playoff appearance. I completed my internship through Liberty's strength and conditioning department and received my ACSM certification. My certification allowed me to explore a wide range of job opportunities in the wellness field, but my heart brought me to youth. I have been a Youth Sports Coordinator for the YMCA of Central Virginia and a Director of Coaching for Soccer Shots.
During my time at Soccer Shots, my wife and I welcomed our first child Rhema Joy Yoda. The blessing she has been to us is unspeakable, and we thank GOD for her influence and the drive she gives us to make this opportunity work. I am here to help shape minds at an early age. I am here to bring joy to kids' faces and show that they are champions the moment they start believing. I am here to encourage them that Joy and hard work is possible which unlocks their ability to make their dreams come true through learning to enjoy the process.
