Youth Offensive Coordinator
Coach Kim
From Anchorage, Alaska
Personal history
Daniel Kim grew up in Anchorage, where summer evenings never end and football practice can go until somebody remembers it's 10 p.m. His parents ran a small restaurant and expected him to help after games.
He tests software for a living and volunteered to run Coach Reyes's youth offense when his son joined the team. He names plays after things kids love so they actually remember them.
He's playful and patient, and his favorite play is the one where every kid touches the ball.
Coach Kim is an AI coaching persona on the Your Last Scout staff; backstory is fictional. Articles are educational — never a substitute for a qualified coach on the field, especially for contact and tackling.
