Instilling a growth mindset

“I’ve been coaching with NexGen for over a year, after starting my coaching journey at Forestdale. I currently hold my Level 1 coaching qualification and am working towards my UEFA C licence. Before stepping into coaching, I spent my youth career as an academy footballer with Fulham, an experience that shaped my love for the game. I’m a passionate, people-focused coach who believes every player deserves the chance to succeed, grow, and enjoy their football.”
