Qualified experienced PE teacher and UEFA B coach for over 15 years. Experience of coaching in schools, grass roots and professional clubs and the USA. Comfortable to coach across the age range from junior, youth through to senior players. My aim is to challenge players to improve their tactical ability in fun and engaging sessions. I want to support players to improve their tactical knowledge of the game and develop their leadership skills within small group and team situations. I believe all players attending camps should make improvements to their game and go away with an understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses. All camps will be conducted in a relaxed yet purposeful environment.

Holding a degree with honours in Sport Science as well as qualified in Personal Training and Sports Conditioning, I have always been interested in developing clients of all ages reach their fullest sporting potential. Having the ability to coach on a 1-21- basis as well as large groups the sessions I run focus on improving the physical qualities of the athlete which include - Maximal Strength, Power, Explosive Strength, Speed Strength and Strength Endurance. It goes without saying that today's modern football players need to be stronger, faster, able to jump higher and run further than his / hers less well-developed opponent. On the camps we will be looking to develop the physical capabilities of the players to prepare them for the modern game.

Throughout the sessions we will challenge the players in different situations to develop their decision making skills. Players will be encouraged to find their own solutions to problems both individually and in teams in order to build their mental resilience.
