About

I’ve been passionate about football from a young age, developing a love for the game from 6 years old playing for my local team in Wales. I was fortunate to experience academy trials with Peterborough United, Swansea City, and the Welsh National Team, yet despite being unsuccessful in my own professional playing journey, I have always been involved in coaching in various capacities for over 20 years. After university, I spent a decade as a teacher, developing my understanding of the mechanics of learning in the classroom, learning how to create a personalised learning experience for every child, and honing my person-centred approach to development. I then followed my passion into sport and football development, which gave me valuable experience developing grassroots and elite football initiatives with Middlesex and Oxfordshire FAs, particularly around disability football.

I draw on these experiences to create a safe, fun and engaging environment for everyone. I enjoy working on athlete’s personal development, and helping to develop their game through the key pillars of football - tactical, technical, psychological and physical. I’m always excited to explore ways to make football more accessible to all, so that everyone can experience the love of the game!
