Physical Education Teacher | Soccer & Badminton Coach | Lifelong Athlete
Hello and welcome! My name is Mr. Ammar Alsharif, and I’m proud to be your Physical Education teacher and coach. I have a deep passion for sports, fitness, and helping students live active, healthy lives.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education, and I’ve spent over 8 years teaching PE and coaching young athletes from all walks of life. My mission is to help every student build confidence, stay active, and learn the values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance—on and off the field.
As a former college athlete, I competed at the highest levels, winning university championships in 2008, 2010, and 2011, and qualifying to represent my university on the world stage at the World Championship for University Students in 2010. These experiences helped shape my belief in the power of sports to bring out the best in us.
Today, I coach soccer at BAHO Academy, where I train and mentor future athletes. I hold coaching certifications from the U.S. Soccer Federation, including the F-License and Grassroots Coaching Certificate, which allow me to guide young soccer players as they grow their skills and love for the game. I’m also a certified badminton coach through both the U.S. Badminton Federation and the World Badminton Federation.
In addition to teaching and coaching, I spent nearly 4 years volunteering with the Jordanian Olympic Federation, helping national teams during their travels and competitions in Jordan. I also had the unique experience of serving as a referee assistant at the Junior & Cadet World Fencing Championship hosted in Jordan.
Whether we’re playing games in PE class, training on the soccer field, or learning new skills in badminton, my goal is always the same: to help you become the strongest, healthiest, and most confident version of yourself.
I’m excited to be part of your journey—let’s move, play, and grow together!

In my free time, I enjoy working on 3D graphic design. It’s a creative outlet where I build digital models, scenes, and animations just for the fun of it.
I love experimenting with shapes, lighting, textures, and motion to bring ideas to life in 3D. Whether it's designing objects, characters, or abstract visuals, it’s a hobby that keeps me inspired and always learning something new.
