ABOUT ME

Cyprian is a proud husband and father to five beautiful daughters. Born in Cameroon, Africa, and raised in Houston, Texas, he brings a unique global perspective and a deep passion for the game of soccer. After retiring from his 9-year professional career, he shifted his focus from personal training to developing and mentoring the next generation of players.

​

Cyprian played high school soccer in Houston before continuing at San Jacinto Junior College. His talent and dedication earned him a full-ride Division I scholarship to Coastal Carolina University—a journey that reflects his belief in the importance of “going where you're valued, wanted, and can grow.”

​

After college, he enjoyed a successful professional career, playing for teams in both MLS and USL across the country. A major career highlight was winning the U.S. Open Cup with Sporting KC in 2012.

Today, Cyprian is passionate about teaching players to become the best version of themselves—both on and off the field. As a coach, he recognized that many camps, clinics, and training programs often overlook defensive development. This realization inspired him to launch Last Line Defense Academy—a program focused solely on helping defenders build confidence, improve technique, and master their craft.

​

Coach Cyp regularly leads small group sessions, 1-on-1 training, and camps, and is now expanding his impact through a soccer mentorship program. This new initiative creates a space where sports and mental wellness intersect—with the goal of inspiring, motivating, and empowering young people in the community both as athletes and as individuals.

He’s excited to partner with families, players, teams, and clubs who see the value in dedicated defensive training and holistic player development.
