Zack Cox

U13 Girls Coach and Youth Academy

Licensure: To be licensed within the year

Playing Experience: I began playing soccer in Boise when I was five years old. I played for BNSC and Alliance Soccer Club until we moved to Idaho Falls. In Idaho Falls, I played Varsity soccer all four years for Idaho Falls High School; taking second in the State Championship my junior year and first place my senior year. I was invited to play in State Cup with the U-19 Coeur d'Alene Sting team; which consisted of players from Gonzaga and NIC. We won state that year as well. My indoor soccer career started at the same time as my outdoor soccer career. Since then I have played both indoor and outdoor soccer in very competitive leagues in Utah and Idaho. I played intramurals at BYU winning the intramural championship which is no easy feat. If BYU had a men’s collegiate soccer program I would have played for that team, but because they didn’t I played intramurals and indoor soccer.

Club Coaching Experience: I coached a U12 girl’s club team in Utah for two years and brought them from the worst team in their division to winning the championship the next season.

Professional: Graduating from BYU/BSU with a degree in Neuroscience. Neuroscience is basically psychology on steroids. I have just relocated to Boise.

Referee: USSF Grade 9 Referee

Miscellaneous: Soccer is not the only sport I have played. I grew up playing baseball, basketball and golf as well. I have always been involved with sports and the mental rigors that competitive sports entail. I enjoy trying to understand human behavior, hence my choice of Neuroscience as a major. My studies in this field have helped me as I have competed in competitive sports and it has qualified me to help the members of RBCF.





Bob Tikker

 U13G - Associate Head Coach and Club VP


Licensure: “E” License

Club Coaching Experience: 9 years (18 seasons) with Meridian PAL and Real Boise Soccer Clubs.

Professional: Graduate from University of Idaho with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. Owner of mechanical consulting firm – Tikker Engineering.

Miscellaneous: I am the father of two girls, Sara and Laura. I truly enjoy coaching girl’s soccer. My goal is to develop confident and competitive team players who have a love and passion for the game.


Keaton Skyles


Club Mental Conditioning Director

My name is Keaton Skyles, I was born and raised in the Boise area and began working with Real Boise in the spring of 2010 with the assistance of Paola Lamberti and Juanjo Carmona. While growing up I competed in golf, swimming, basketball, baseball, and skiing, as well as soccer for 9 years. My last 2 years of soccer were with the Boise Capitols. I attended Nampa High School where I lettered in varsity golf (2002-2005), as well as varsity cross country (2002-2004), graduating with honors in 2005.

During my sophomore year in college I was a member of the BSU D-1 golf team and recognized as a scholar athlete (2006-2007). Throughout this time I worked with sports psychologists and physical trainers that supplied me with valuable insight to the importance of mental conditioning. In my experience I have come to understand how mental practice can improve not only our athletic abilities but all aspects of life. When we introduce these skills at a youth level the results are extraordinary. I would have benefitted greatly from having more of these techniques at a younger age and so I’m now inspired to work with other young athletes in developing their mental abilities. In my opinion the most important skill for athletes is learning to harness the power of their mind and the physical aspects of the body will follow.

In 2010 I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Boise State University. During my time in school I worked consistently in psychology and ceramic arts also gaining much knowledge and interest in human biology, as well as nutrition. Next year I will be returning to school to further my education.

Nezam Mozafari

U14 Girls - Head Coach

Nezam would remember very good the first day that he started playing “Football” (soccer in US) when he found a flat sun-faded black and white plastic ball down the alley at age five. At that time he did not know anything about the rules or actually how to play it; he just got with his buddies and chased and kicked that poor ball around the alley. They, unknowingly playing soccer, fell in love with the game.

During his teenage years he formed many neighborhood teams that were playing against other neighborhoods’ teams on those dusty dried farm fields. During those days, playing on grass was a privilege and he did not earn it until he joined one of the Semi-pro clubs in town which was supported by some of the merchants

When he moved to US, he was amazed that why all these green fields were left useless and no one was playing soccer on them. While in Texas he encouraged his college friends to form a tournament and play soccer. Everyone loved it and it became a weekend habit. He, even though did not pursue getting coaching license (except E), started coaching back when he was in California during early 80s. He has been coaching soccer for twenty and something years. He has worked with all age groups and genders. 

In Treasure valley, he has been with PAL many years and now with Idaho Rush club and Real Boise. His style of coaching is to make the game fun but disciplined. He believes that kids should not waste their time when coming for practices.

Over many years of coaching, the most important lesson that he has learned is that “Never coach your own wife” it just won’t work!

Barbara Leitzinger

Mental Conditioning Coach Staff

I’m the drama teacher at Lowell Scott, and a main element of being a good actor, or singer, or any performer is learning to stay focused, and in-the-moment. If a performer drops their focus and starts reacting to the sights of the audience, they’ll often become paralyzed by stage fright. As I learn and teach these mental activities in my drama class, I see how these skills can cross over into athletics and into further aspects of life.  I’m now studying “mental training in sports”, and I consider it a privilege to experiment and hone my skills as a teacher with this club.
