// The Coach

Coached by someone still living the pathway

I've spent nine years competing in the NPL1 system, including two seasons inside an A-League club academy. I currently captain an NPL1 Under 20s side.

Because I'm still playing at this level, every session is built on what actually works in the modern game — not recycled drills. I know what academies and NPL clubs look for, because I've been through those environments myself and continue to compete in them every week.

Beyond playing, I bring a strong coaching background across school and club football, working with players from grassroots through to representative level.

// The Approach

Four things every session is built on

Development isn't just drills. Each session works across these four areas, weighted toward whatever your game needs most right now.

01

Technical

Isolated repetition of the fundamentals — first touch, striking, ball manipulation — with technique corrected rep by rep rather than left to habit.

02

Decision Making

Scanning, positioning and knowing the next action before the ball arrives. The part of the game that separates players at trial level.

03

Physical

Speed, acceleration and balance built into the ball work, plus using your body properly to protect possession and win duels.

04

Mentality

Honest feedback, competitive standards and the resilience to keep performing when a session or a season stops going your way.

// Session Formats

Train the way that suits you

From fully individual coaching to small groups of up to four, every format keeps the player-to-coach ratio low so no one hides in the crowd.

The fastest way to improve. The whole session is built around your game — we identify what's holding you back and attack it directly.

  • Session plan tailored to your position and goals
  • Maximum touches and repetitions
  • Ideal before trials or rep season
  • $50 / 45 min · $65 / 60 min

Two players, one coach. Still highly individual, with the added edge of healthy competition and partner-based work.

  • Passing, combination and 1v1 duel work
  • Compete against a training partner
  • More affordable than individual sessions
  • $35 / 45 min · $45 / 60 min — per player

Small enough for individual attention, big enough for proper small-sided games and overload scenarios.

  • Rondos, overloads and pressing work
  • Competitive small-sided finishes
  • Great for teammates training together
  • $35 / 45 min · $45 / 60 min — per player

The most game-realistic format — 2v2s, positional play and match scenarios, while keeping the ratio low enough that every player gets coached.

  • 2v2 and match-scenario training
  • Best value per player
  • Perfect for a group of friends or club teammates
  • $35 / 45 min · $45 / 60 min — per player
