About
Understanding the journey and values that shape every coaching session.
My Story
I've always loved being on the football pitch, but after a knee injury and the unexpected pause of the COVID lockdown, my journey took a new direction. What first felt like a setback turned out to be a turning point.
I shifted my focus from playing to coaching and discovered a real passion for helping others grow. Now, I focus on helping players develop with confidence and enjoyment, creating positive environments where every child can thrive.
Since then, I have focused on delivering sessions that are supportive, structured, and tailored to each individual. The goal is always the same: help players feel confident on the pitch and proud of their progress, both on and off the field.
Coaching Values
The principles that guide every session and interaction.
Confidence First
Building self-belief is at the heart of everything. Every session is designed to help players feel more confident, both in their abilities and in themselves.
Enjoyment Matters
Football should be fun. When players enjoy what they're doing, they're more engaged, learn better, and develop a genuine love for the game.
Player-Centred Coaching
Every player is unique. Sessions are tailored to individual needs, goals, and learning styles, ensuring each child gets the support they need to progress.
Clear Progression
Structured development with clear goals and regular feedback. Players can see their improvement and understand their journey, building motivation and pride.
