Jimmy Bone

I have been coaching for over three years at grassroots club Soccerscool in Highbury, working with children aged 5-16, working within a coaching team towards common goals of developing players to their highest potential, building a consistent game model throughout the club, raising the standards of grassroots football and facilitating a lifelong love for football.

Therefore, I vary the methods used depending on the age of the players. With younger players, I focus more on ball mastery and individual skills through fun games and activities. With older players, I focus on game-realistic skills such as awareness and tactical understanding, while maintaining a huge emphasis on technical qualities.

My aim is to develop well rounded, dynamic players who are capable of adapting to the demands of the game. I also value the personal and life skills very highly and aim to promote positive values within my sessions. I have worked with players of all abilities and I am able to tailor sessions to meet their needs accordingly. Therefore, I seek to provide fun and enjoyable sessions to encourage and motivate young people to continue playing football and maintain their love for the game throughout their life.

My personality is laid back and I can build positive relationships with my players while ensuring I remain professional and demand discipline, intensity and focus at all times. I am organised, hard working and passionate about developing young people and players.

I am located in Islington but I am able to travel around London, within reason.
