“Coach Shudhi is a gift. He was our son's competitive soccer coach for two seasons, and during that time our son, and his entire team, truly thrived. What Coach Shudhi accomplished went far beyond technical skills and learning plays. He instilled sportsmanship, discipline, and work ethic ninto every athlete on the team. Coach Shudhi built genuine, positive relationships with each athlete while holding them to high expectations. He created an environment where effort, accountability, and respect were the standard both on and off the field. My husband described it best when said "Shudhi connected with each kid from the very first conversation. The way he made them feel capable, and in turn, they saw greatness within themselves.” Under Coach Shudhi's guidance, our son grew not only as an athlete, but also as a young man. He learned how to dig deep, persevere, and shift his mindset when things became difficult - lessons that extend far beyond the soccer field. Every team would be fortunate to have a coach like Shudhi cross their path, and lucky are the young athletes who get to learn and grow under his guidance.

“As a former athlete under coach Shudhi’s training I can confidently say his practices were organized and combined with high intensity drills. Shudhi always had his plans for practices memorized and he was very efficient with knowing when we should have a light or tough training. After training with coach Shudhi I improved the most in my dribbling and shooting. I also had a lot of improvement in my positioning on the field. Having Shudhi as a coach improved my confidence, worth ethic, and integrity. I was shown how to be confident on the field and work hard despite anything. My teammates and I always thought of Shudhi as a father figure since he always knew how to support, guide, and discipline us for our improvement. People I recommend to Shudhi’s program are the ones who want to have a close but professional bond that will improve you not just in the sport, but mentally too. That said, I couldn't ask for a better coach.

"I was really excited to hear about Shudhi Datta beginning his own academy. I have worked with Coach Datta for over 4 years. He is thoughtful about his trainings and puts in the time and effort to plan them, meaning they are run efficiently, with little downtime. Athletes notice a drastic improvement with their soccer skill, learning how to trap, shoot, and pass with both feet. Athletes also really like the technical drills he puts them through, especially fast footwork. This is an engaging and interactive way to improve technical skills in a small area. With his effective trainings, athletes do not only see an improvement in their soccer skills, but also fitness and confidence. Athletes are training together in groups, so they have a connection with other athletes. There is a connection with the group that can then translate to the classroom and school setting. One thing I’ve always been impressed with Coach Datta is that he believes in each athlete who works hard and is committed. He looks at the athlete’s strengths and weaknesses and helps the athlete improve, to become a better player. I highly recommend training with Coach Shudhi and the improvement in the Girls Soccer program over the past 4 years would not have been possible without his training methods and input.
Head Coach, The Dalles High School Girls Varsity Soccer
If your athlete struggles with confidence on and off the field, they are not alone. Many competitive players train often but still feel rushed, hesitant, and unsure in games. The issue is not effort. It is training without enough purposeful touches or a clear method to build confidence.
This free 60-minute 1,000 Touch Session shows athletes exactly how confidence is built through structured, high-rep technical work. It is the same proven training framework that took me from the least confident player on a struggling team to one of the most technical players on a top club team.
Confidence is trained, not hoped for.
“Shudhi coached our son in travel soccer for two years. Coach Shudhi was always on time, organized, and ready for practice. His practices were run very well. They had struture, good transitions, and he got the most out of the kids in the time he had. He builds relationships with the kids and sets high expectations for them to meet. He is a great coach and a huge asset for our town. If you get the chance to work with Coach Shudhi, take it!”

"Coach Shudhi’s trainings through TDFC were well structured and intentional, with clear goals each session that helped our son stay focused and engaged. We saw noticeable technical improvements in his ball control, confidence on the field, and overall understanding of the game. He became more comfortable applying new skills and pushing himself outside his comfort zone. Beyond soccer, our son gained confidence, consistency, and a stronger sense of self, which we believe is directly correlated with Coach Shudhi’s coaching. I would highly recommend Coach Shudhi to any youth athlete looking to grow technically while training in a positive and supportive environment.”
Parent
Coach Shudhi Datta began working with my daughter, Amyrah, in January 2022, and she was one of the first athletes — and the first girl — he trained one-on-one in our area. From the start, his sessions were structured, intentional, and highly professional. Every training had a clear purpose, with a strong emphasis on repetition, technical detail, and game realism. We saw noticeable improvements in Amyrah’s 1v1 play, shooting accuracy, confidence on the ball, and overall understanding of the game. Beyond technical growth, Coach Shudhi had a significant impact on her confidence, mental toughness, and accountability. He challenged her, held her to high standards, and truly invested in her development both as a player and a person. I would highly recommend Coach Shudhi to motivated athletes and families looking for a coach who provides structure, honesty, and genuine mentorship. His influence played a meaningful role in Amyrah’s soccer journey and long-term success.

This training is built from real experience, not theory. Coach Shudhi understands what it feels like to lack confidence because he lived it. Every drill and progression comes from the exact process that helped him go from struggling on the ball to becoming one of the most technical players on a top club team. Players trust the process because it works, and parents trust the coach because the method has been proven firsthand.
Confidence does not come from being told to “believe.” It comes from repeated success. This session gives players hundreds of purposeful touches in a focused environment so the ball begins to feel natural instead of stressful. As comfort increases, hesitation disappears and confidence takes its place.
This is not a wait-and-see program. Parents and players consistently notice changes right away. Players leave the session calmer, more controlled, and more confident in their ability to handle the ball during games. The goal is not perfection, but a noticeable shift in how the game feels.

Coach Shudhi’s trainings are extremely well-structured and purposeful. Each session follows a clear plan, with specific objectives that build on one another. The drills are organized, progressive, and tailored to the athlete’s needs, which makes every minute of training effective and intentional. I noticed significant improvements in ball control, first touch, footwork, and overall technical confidence. Decision-making on the ball became quicker and more composed, and I experienced better movement, positioning, and execution during games. And, there were changes beyond the field. I became more confident, disciplined, and consistent in my work ethic. Coach Shudhi emphasizes accountability and mindset, which positively impacted behavior, focus, and self-belief both in my soccer performances and in my daily life. I would highly recommend Coach Shudhi to athletes of any level who are serious about developing their technical skills, confidence, and overall growth. Coach Shudhi is especially valuable for players who want structured training, personalized feedback, and he is a coach who truly invests in long-term development.”

Coach Shudhi Datta provided our daughter with structured, purposeful training throughout her high school years. His sessions were focused on repetition, accountability, and translating technical work into real game situations. Nothing was random — every detail had intent. We saw clear improvements in Amyrah’s ball control, shooting consistency, and ability to perform under pressure. Just as importantly, Coach Shudhi emphasized the mental side of the game, teaching resilience, confidence, and responsibility to the team — qualities that are essential at higher levels of play. I would strongly recommend Coach Shudhi to athletes who are serious about improving and to families who value discipline, honesty, and high standards. He challenges players to grow, and the results speak for themselves.

“A way I would describe Coach Shudhi's trainings would be in the middle because the practices ranged from difficult to light, but no matter the intensity of the training, we would always try our hardest because Coach Shudhi was always encouraging us try our best in order to succeed. Things that changed for me from having Coach Shudhi as my coach were my attitude and mindset. I may not have been the best with the drills at first, but what's important is that at least I tried and never gave up. At times, we would do conditioning and that's where Coach Shudhi told us to keep going. It didn't matter how slow we ran as long as we finished, which I really appreciated. His support in those times made me realize nothing is impossible as long as you set your mind to it. This helped me with other sports because I became more willing to try new things that I wasn't used to. Coach Shudhi made me see a whole different perspective of the sport. It wasn't just about how we played. It was also about how we acted after a big loss or a good win. I also learned how to adjust if people don't agree with what I do, how to encourage change, and much more."

Choosing the right coach for your child matters. Soccer development is not just about skills. It is about confidence, consistency, and learning how to train the right way.
I was not always a confident or technical player. I had to build those qualities through intentional training, and that journey shapes how I coach today.
As a player in Hawaii, I won four State Cups, represented the State of Hawaii for my age group, and traveled to regional tournaments competing against top teams across the country. Those experiences taught me that success is not about talent alone, but about learning how to train with purpose.
My coaching career began at Southside Soccer Club in Tigard, Oregon, where our team reached the semifinals of the Oregon State Cup. I later served as an assistant and defensive coach for Kalani High School Girls Soccer in Hawaii and worked as a private soccer coach in Singapore, gaining experience across different competitive environments and soccer cultures.
In 2020, I moved to The Dalles and became the JV Head Coach and Assistant Varsity Coach for Girls Soccer at The Dalles High School alongside Colby Tonn. In 2022, the varsity program made the playoffs for the first time in ten years. In 2023, the team reached the quarterfinals for the first time in fifteen years. These milestones came from structure, accountability, and belief in the process.
At the youth level, I served as Head Coach for The Dalles Futball Club. Over two seasons, we moved from Division 2 up four divisions to Silver and won the Founders Cup while competing regularly in Portland. More importantly, players grew in confidence, discipline, and belief in themselves.
Today, my focus is helping competitive players build real confidence through structured, high-repetition training. I coach the way I wish I had been coached growing up. With clarity, high standards, and purpose.
My goal is simple. To help players feel confident on the ball, composed under pressure, and proud of how they show up both on and off the field.
Coach Shudhi was a great coach for my son. His trainings were organized, focused, and still fun. And, my son improved a lot in his footwork, confidence, and overall understanding of the game. I also saw more consistency and motivation outside of soccer. One thing I really appreciated is that Coach Shudhi knows how to work with players at any level - he adjusts his approach so they're challenged, but never overwhelmed. I'd definitely recommend him to any athlete looking to grow technically and build confidence.”
