Join us for a coffee and chat with Nedal Huoseh, Executive Director of ATG Sports Management! Nedal shares his incredible and unconventional journey, beginning with his family's immigration to North Edmonton as refugees in the early 60s.
His early path led him to NAIT for Electrical Engineering Technology. Even during his first year, he was already putting in the groundwork, literally, by digging trenches for an electrical contractor. By 2003, he took the entrepreneurial leap, opening ASI Tech, a leading provider of comprehensive contracting and communication solutions
A pivotal, life-changing moment arrived in 2008 when, while registering his son for soccer, he found no coaches available. Nedal stepped up, and it was through his coaching travels that he encountered a young Alphonso Davies. His son and Alphonso quickly bonded over their shared love for soccer. As Alphonso's talent began to shine, garnering recognition from academy scouts, Nedal became his trusted facilitator, helping him enroll in the academy and later sign with a team.
Alphonso's exceptional progression quickly attracted interest from numerous agents. Yet, whenever approached, Alphonso would consistently redirect them back to Nedal, saying, "Talk to my coach." This unwavering trust led Alphonso's family to ask Nedal to become his official agent. The rest, as they say, fell into place: a year later, Nedal successfully negotiated Alphonso's monumental contract with FC Bayern Munich. This high-profile success naturally led to other players seeking Nedal's representation, prompting him to establish ATG Sports Management.
Get ready to hear an inspiring story of unexpected turns, profound connections, and the dedication that propelled Nedal from a career in engineering to becoming a highly respected sports agent for some of the world's top talent.
