In this week’s episode, we spoke to Jared Khan, co-founder of Khan Soccer Academy, about his journey from the AYSO fields of Knoxville and Halls High School to starting one of the fastest-growing youth training programs in our Big Town, Little City.

The conversation touches on everything from the influence of growing up in a soccer-loving home, how players can develop their skills outside expensive club programs, and when apparent failures may lead you to pursue your dreams. Are you ready to be inspired? This one’s a treat. You may want to have a soccer ball at your feet as you listen!

Khan Soccer Acadamy, which Jared operates with his brother Darius, is a family affair. His wife Meagen is also a trainer and, fun fact, former teammate of Brian’s wife, Haley, at Halls. Go Red Devils! Learn more about their private training, group classes, homeschool program, and upcoming summer camps on their website.
