Drago has built a distinguished résumé as a community and professional soccer coach, sports facility owner, academy director, and head coach—while also competing as a former professional player.

    Drago enjoyed a 21-year decorated professional playing career across his homeland of Croatia and the United States. He was developed in the prestigious Dinamo Zagreb Academy, widely regarded as one of Europe’s premier talent-producing institutions. Notable players to emerge from the Dinamo system include Luka Modrić, Zvonimir Boban, Joško Gvardiol, Mateo Kovačić, Andrej Kramarić, and Robert Prosinečki, underscoring the elite environment that shaped Dragos' soccer foundation.

    At the camp, Shivraman provides an environment where players are challenged, motivated, and inspired. His sessions emphasize technical development, tactical understanding, and mental growth. Participants leave the camp more confident, more prepared, and more passionate about the game.

    Shivraman’s coaching philosophy emphasizes respect for the game, teammates, and coaches, along with character and sportsmanship on and off the field. He believes that while winning is meaningful, the true value of the sport lies in the shared journey and the lasting impact players and coaches make in their communities.

    In addition to coaching, Shivraman played professional soccer in Detroit for more than a decade. He continues to run soccer clinics across the U.S. and Europe during the offseason. He holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from Wayne State University and a master’s degree in education from Marygrove College.
