Coaching Experience

As a UEFA coach, I know how communication is needed for player development & helping young footballers reach their potential. I’m actively in coaching the JPL/MJPL, coaching elite players as well as grassroots teams starting their football journey. As a referee, in the national league I have experience in game management from all areas of football, level 1 Talent Identification & Futsal coach l ensuring every session is dynamic and effective. With further experiences as a sports coach in other areas such as basketball and also a fitness instructor I'm able to understand about the physical, mental and technical side of the game.

Sessions in the New Year are open. This includes session right after school from 3pm. You might also want to find out more about my indoor sessions for 3-7years called Go Little Footballers. These are based on social interactions and fun learning using football as the driver to help young players fall in love with the game. These run at various locations in Leicester. Daytime sessions are also available for children who are being home schooled and want to have a private session as part of their learning development.

Session Plan

Structure & goals are essential in being able to identify a clear plan of improvement covering all key aspect and principles of the game, working to improve both technique & skills. Importantly how sessions can be taken into a game or group training practice. Session are planned with considerations for current ability, age, short & long term goals. These are based with fun in mind but hold the mean as to "why" & "what" player get from the sessions. Development is key at all levels. Often small changes can have a huge impact on a players game. From a set skill or a mental block, the right explanation, time and way they session is delivered can be the most impactful thing to take into the next game.
