Fred Frimpong

Fred Frimpong is a soccer coach based in Iowa with a passion for developing players the right way — not just on the ball, but as people. With a USSF B license and UEFA Grassroots license, Fred brings real credentials and real experience to every conversation. But what drives him isn't the titles — it's the belief that coaches have an incredible opportunity to shape young lives, and that opportunity is worth taking seriously. The First Touch is his weekly newsletter for coaches who feel the same way. Every Monday, Fred digs into the tactics, the culture, the player development philosophy, and the honest conversations that make good coaches great. Because the best coaches never stop learning.
