Meet Dembakw “ Boxi “ Yomba | Professional Soccee Player/Trainer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dembakw “ Boxi “ Yomba and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dembakw “ Boxi “, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
As Soccer has always been a passion of mine. I always thought about what other ways I can remain involved and helpful after I was done playing. It was actually a friend of mine’s mom who gave me the idea of training his little brother And the rest of his teammates,.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What has allowed me to take such a pleasure in working with future soccer players, is the simple fact that when I began my own soccer journey I did not have the chance to work with or be around someone who had experienced or played at a high-level. And as I have progressed through the professional ranks I have noticed the importance of being surrounded by people or someone who has knowledge and expertise in a certain profession or sport.

For me I take such pride in training and developing players because I think of myself and the fact that I did not have the opportunity to do private Performance enhancing trainings and I was able to get to where I did. So and that being said I think of the next future star who may be just needs a little guidance and discipline and how many of those future superstars just need that

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would probably take him to the beltline on Saturday for a brunch and then we would probably gravitate to Piedmont Park. There’s always great things to do in Atlanta and a lot to find.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I feel like a lot of people have played a big role in influencing me to play soccer but also to coach and develop soccer players. the most important part though is the trust from the parents and the players who are working with me and I must strive to give them an experience that they cannot find in another place.
