As the founder and owner/operator of BK Academy, Coach Bryan Kalaka truly is the heart of the company. He has a strong desire to share his passion for the sport of soccer with everyone he encounters. He began playing soccer as soon as he was able to walk and hasn't stopped since. Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and raised in Leicester, England (UK), he watched legends like Ronaldinho and Zinedine Zidane and became fixated on becoming just as great. He was accepted and played under the Leicester City Football Academy. His playing career continued throughout college when he moved to the United States. Starting at Dodge City Community College in Dodge City Kansas, Coach Bryan then moved to Pittsburgh, PA to play at Point Park University and completed his playing career here in Olathe, KS at MidAmerica Nazarene University where he recently graduated as a part of the Class of 2020.
