I was on track to become a Doctor. I walked away. (I know, crazy right!)
Not because it was easy, because football was the only thing I actually wanted to do.
But I had 4 things against me:
• No professional playing background
• No academy playing experience
• No family to open doors for me
• No friend on the same path
Just a guy with a dream, a tracksuit, and absolutely no idea how brutal this industry could be.
But I refused to quit.
15 years later I've coached in 3 x Premier League Academies, hold my UEFA A Licence and AYA qualifications and have been featured on Sky Sports News, The Overlap Breakdown Podcast and BBC Radio.
And in 2 years I've taught 1000s of coaches how to have a successful UEFA B Licence application:
• Eric had been rejected for 6 years
•.Ben was successful 1st time
•.Gerald got on at age 77!
...and there are many more coaches
The national average is just 11% but coaches who directly work with me are 8x more likely to be successful.
It's never been harder to get on the UEFA B Licence. This template is what I wish had existed when I started.
(Drop me a DM once you've got through!)
