David Popovski is a highly respected player‑development specialist known for his ability to elevate athletes through advanced ball‑mastery training, technical refinement, and modern, player‑centric coaching methods. With a proven record of developing players who have progressed to high school, college, and professional levels in both the United States and Europe, David is recognized for transforming motivated players into confident, skilled, and intelligent competitors.

Originally from Macedonia, David began his soccer journey at age 6 with one of the nation’s premier academies, FC Pelister Bitola, where he advanced through every youth level before making his First Macedonian League debut at just 18 years old. He later completed his sports academy education in Bucharest, Romania, further sharpening his understanding of elite training and player development.

After relocating to the United States, David spent three years coaching professionally in New Jersey, where he refined his methodology with a strong emphasis on dynamic ball mastery, striking technique, and individualized technical instruction.

Now based in Naples, Florida, David provides personalized training for players seeking to improve close control, coordination, creativity, and confidence on the ball. His individual and small‑group sessions blend European academy standards with modern American player‑development models, creating a challenging, supportive, and high‑impact environment for growth.

David brings this expertise, and his passion for developing the next generation of players—to the Nike Soccer Camp, where he leads a professional coaching staff committed to helping every athlete reach their potential.
