I’ve been running the biggest and most successful club - ProFA FCin Barnet and Enfield for nearly 10 years now, every year getting players signed for Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham,  West Ham as well as other London-based professional clubs.

Club policy is no Dads running team teams, but with John I made an exception.  A former semi-pro who knows his football.  John coached for TFA/ProFA for 2 years, and during that time 

managed one of the most successful team at the club.

John was dedicated, professional with a real interest in the kids’ development combining the right mix of fun and learning.  4 players from John’s team signed for professional academies - including Chelsea and Arsenal - and I look forward to supporting John in his new venture.

John started coaching and training my son 3 years ago. We watched our son improve right from the start and continue to grow with Johns amazing skill and expertise. He gets to know each individual child and works to improve their best skills as well as their worst.

He is a kind, caring and understanding coach. Every child we know, including our own, has a huge respect for him - this shows massively through their play. And he is very respectful of children, parents and opposition alike. 

We couldn’t have asked for more from him and we are certain our son wouldn’t be the confident, respectful, skilful player that he is today.

John was one of my son’s first coaches when he first started playing football.

John was always a reassuring positive role model, who enthused the boys week in week out with his naturally positive mindset and caring nature.

He taught my son and the whole team in a warm and nurturing environment, thank you John

John coached our son, Cameron for two seasons (u7’s and u8’s). Throughout that period, not only did Cameron’s individual skills develop massively, he also developed his broader team strategy awareness, his understanding of teamwork and supporting each other on and off the pitch – encouraging his teammates when things were not going their way. 

John had a way of picking out a development area for each boy to work on during each training session, and following this up during a game.  It was more important to develop that skill than the result of that particular game.  Cameron was always chuffed when he applied something he had learned in training, during a match.

John encouraged the boys to play to the best of their abilities and then pushed them a bit more. Any team or individual that has John as their coach should see themselves as incredibly fortunate.

John coached my son for 2 years.  He has gone on to be signed by a professional academy  and I'm very grateful for the  encouragement, support and knowledge of the game John gave him to help enhance his game and give him a fantastic start. 

Thank you  John.
