What is PAKK ?

Nestled in the heart of the city, our training enviroment pulses with energy and youthful ambition every day.

P- Prolific

A prolific player is a sports figure who consistently produces a large quantity of successful outcomes, such as scoring many goals, runs, or points, demonstrating high productivity and effectiveness in their role.

A- Athlete

a person who is proficient in sports and other forms of physical exercise.

K- Krasmatic (imaginary word for Charismatic - in form of a C letter word but when looking at the abbreviation you see K that sounds like a C and spells the actual word PACK in context for a packaged deal). Purpose is for everyone to be themselves, it’s what will depict a player from one another.

K- Kulture

Twisting the C to a K in the spelling of culture, we want to bring a unique value of what culture means to us in this sport. To achieve the goals you set for yourself, environment matters!

Hello,

My name is Joel Ugochukwu. I am a 30-year-old Nigerian-born and Roanoke-raised male with a growing passion for soccer. I grew up on the Northwest side of Roanoke, where I began my soccer career by playing recreationally at a young age and transitioning to playing club soccer with the local club at the time, Roanoke Star. From there, I developed my skills through hard work and determination, ultimately playing on the top-level teams for my age group.

I furthered my career in high school, playing at William Fleming and subsequently being admitted to Bluefield College. I later transferred to Old Dominion University, where I completed my undergraduate studies with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management & Information Systems. Subsequently, I obtained my MBA at the University of Maryland Global Campus, where I focused on Business Administration & International Business.

I had numerous opportunities of witnessing the stepping stones to go to the next level with the likes of traveling overseas, entrance into ID camps, and communication with scouts. With my experience in this sport, I realized how undertrained I’ve been for taking my game to the next level. Which allowed me to develop this program for all young athletes who seek that desire to take the next step and be better prepared for what’s to come. I offer something I wish I had the opportunity to grasp during my time of play.

Although soccer is my primary sport, I have been an avid sports enthusiast who has participated in various competitive sports, including American football, basketball, track and field, volleyball, and others. While I acknowledge that each sport possesses its unique mechanics, I firmly believe that the physical well-being of an athlete is the cornerstone of success in most sports. By incorporating plyometric and calisthenic exercises into their training regimen, athletes can enhance their performance levels and ultimately determine the outcome of competitions. The combination of agility, strength, and conditioning exercises plays a pivotal role in an athlete’s ability to excel. Furthermore, it is crucial for athletes to adopt a disciplined approach to their nutrition and off-field activities, ensuring the holistic development of their bodies and minds.
