Hi, I’m an FA Level 2 qualified football coach with over four years’ coaching experience, working with players aged 4–18 across schools, grassroots football, alternative provision and individual development settings.
Football has been a huge part of my life. I developed within professional academy environments at Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers, giving me first-hand experience of the standards, commitment and challenges involved in elite youth football. I currently play semi-professionally, so I continue to experience the demands of competitive football and bring that knowledge into my coaching.
My coaching approach is centred around the individual. I believe every player is different, with their own strengths, weaknesses, personality and goals. Whether you are a beginner, grassroots player, academy player or preparing for trials, I take the time to understand where you are currently and what you want to achieve before tailoring sessions around your development.
Sessions are structured, challenging and progressive, while always being enjoyable. Depending on your needs, we may work on first touch, ball control, passing, dribbling, finishing, 1v1s, attacking, defending, position-specific skills, decision-making and game understanding. I don't just want players to learn how to perform a skill; I want them to understand when and why to use it in a match.
You can expect honest, constructive feedback throughout our sessions. I encourage players to make mistakes, learn from them and build confidence through the process. For longer-term coaching, I can set individual development goals and monitor progress, ensuring sessions continue to evolve as you improve.
Having worked with young people in a variety of environments, I also understand the importance of developing confidence, discipline, resilience, communication and positive behaviours alongside football ability.
My aim is for every player to leave a session feeling that they have improved, understanding what they need to work on and feeling motivated to continue developing.
Most importantly, I want players to enjoy the journey. I will challenge you, support you and help you become a more confident, intelligent and well-rounded footballer both on and off the pitch.
