Coach Lynn
Hey, I’m Coach Lynn, and football has been a huge part of my life since I was a kid. I played for Kawasaki Frontale and FC Nomade (U-15 to U-18), mostly as a side back, center back, or attacking midfielder. Now, I’m lucky enough to pass that experience on to my players here at EIFJ Hexagon FC! Before joining this team, I coached at Laurus International School and IGS Football/PE School, where I focused on helping young players develop their skills, confidence, and love for the game. I’m also a big Arsenal fan. For me, coaching isn’t just about tactics, it’s about teaching teamwork, discipline, and enjoying every moment on the pitch.
