  • How to Become a Pro Ep.96 with Soheil Var
    Soheil Var is a 24-year-old professional footballer currently playing as a fullback/winger for Gulf United FC in the UAE First Division, who just got promoted from the Second Division.
    He was born in Vienna, Austria, of Iranian descent but grew up in Ottawa, Canada.
    For the last couple of years, he’s been documenting his journey to becoming a pro on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube with one major goal: to help aspiring footballers reach their goals.
     
    He also used his social media presence as an emotional outlet for himself : like many footballers I’ve met along the years in my own career; he’s experienced the typical lows and highs that come along with professional sports.
     
    Putting himself out there helped him tremendously on a journey that can sometimes feel very lonely.

  • How to Become a Pro Podcast Ep. 95 with Soccer Agent Dennis Chin of CHYN Sports
    Check Out the RicFit Academy App FREE Here: https://www.ricfitacademy.com Dennis Chin is a 35 year old professional footballer who played as a forward, who just recently retired about 1 year ago.  
    He is now a Licensed Agent under his company Chyn Sports and works with his partner, Giuseppe Gentile to help lead their players' on a successful career path through football.  
    Dennis played his college soccer at Division 2 powerhouse, Rollins College before being discovered on the "streets" by an Orlando City scout.  He was invited to open trials with Orlando City. 
    After spending 2 months on trial, he finally signed his first professional contract.   In December 2011, Orlando signed Chin to a contract extension through the 2014 season. 
    Moving into his second season, Chin's confident play towards the end of his rookie year certainly carried over into his second term with the club. Dennis transitioned from his super-sub role, held in year one, to become the primary goal-scorer for Orlando City. 
    Chin's first goal came just three minutes into their first game of the season against the Charlotte Eagles, and would set the tone for the kind of year he was about to embark on. 
    All season long, Chin's pace and finishing ability caused problems for opposing teams' back lines and led to the striker scoring 11 goals during league play, which was a team record. 
    Those 11 goals were also good for best in the league and saw Chin finish as Top Goal Scorer and Scoring Champion (27 points) of the USL Pro in only his second season as a professional.  
    Dennis also has experience in Denmark, Israel, and Canada.  Listen to the episode for his excellent advice and bits that young players need to hear. 
    If you want to connect with Dennis, I am sure he is more than willing to answer your questions:
