The coaching courses he completed at TFF, UEFA, and FIFA in football, futsal, and beach soccer helped him better understand European football education and gain a new perspective. These courses contributed to his professional career and also provided him with the opportunity to view football from a broader perspective.

Throughout his career, he worked in all leagues organized by TFF-FGD, and also served as a coach for both the men's and women's national football teams. These valuable experiences reflect the years he spent in the football world and the countless experiences he gained.

He avoids memorizing information, focuses on the process, and embraces the principle of "lifelong learning." He knows that self-development is the most enjoyable yet the hardest path in life, and continues his research and studies.
