MY STORY

From being a young boy, like a lot of young players, my only vision in life was to be a professional footballer. Each young player starts here,  playing grassroots or county football while we learn the trade of the game and expressing ourselves on the football pitch with the intention of being scouted by a professional club and play for their academy.

 

Playing grassroots and country football I trained just once or twice a week with matches on a Saturday or Sunday, I developed and went on to having trails with Everton, Birmingham City, Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion. At each club I trained three nights a week and played matches on a Saturday. After these trials I went on to sign my first contract with Coventry City at the age of 11 where I played alongside current premiership and championship players - Leicester City's James Maddison, Southampton's Che Adams and Swansea's Courtney Baker-Richardson.

​

However, at the start of my journey with Coventry City I began to realise that the other players were of a noticeably higher standard to me due to the high level of training they had received. Once I found my feet, I was training to the best of my ability and developed into one of the best players in my age group.

​

Once reaching the age of 19, I became an FA qualified coach. After working at a and multi-sports group for a number of years, I found that working with children and young players was something that felt quite natural.

​

My experience in the professional game motivates me to inspire young unfound talent who find themselves in the same position as I did. I offer more than just skills based coaching, by providing a platform for my players to be inspired and feel motivated to achieve their dreams when they complete my training sessions.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to explore the talent and skill of young players allowing them to enhance their ability by providing the best coaching services in order for them to improve, not only as a football player, but as an individual.

​

JS will provide a solid foundation and support system that guides our young players to express themselves on and off the pitch - Allowing them to reach their long term goal of becoming a professional in the game by gaining exceptional football knowledge and progressing their technical abilities - whilst having lots of fun along the way!

 

We hope to keep your child with us for as long as possible with the aim of securing them a place at a professional academy. JS Academy has strong relationships with affiliated professional academies, whom are always looking for new un-discovered talent. With us and them working together we hope to guide our players into the next stage of their young career.

 

Even though the ages (7-13) and abilities of players that attend JS Academy varies, we believe this is the correct age and time in their life to instill them with all the correct football knowledge making them as technical as they can be.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to create an inspirational and motivational environment for young players in order for them to accelerate their skills and talent week by week so they can incorporate what they have learnt into their game-play with their own club.

​

It is important for us to point out, that JS Academy is not a football club. We are a dedicated team with the mission of supporting young footballers to expand their knowledge and technical expertise in the game.

​

We strive to push our players to better themselves by challenging them physically and technically giving them a greater chance of reaching their goal!

​

Our Mantra:

​

 "It's not about where you start, it's about where you finish"

 

So let's start unlocking the DNA of our future footballers!
