having played and coached in the women's game for over three decades, one thing has become abundantly clear. most girls lack confidence. i would know, i was one of those girls for 26 years. that is why i set out to start my own football academy. the primary focus of the academy is to do what everyone needs more of - build confidence. i believe this is achieved through competence - the ability to execute skills under progressively more challenging tasks. within my academies, i will focus on:

• ball mastery (based on coerver principles)

  • repetition, balance, and control​

• 1v1 abilities

  • offensively and defensively​

• small sided games

• competition

• position specific training 

• developing the person

  • leadership​ and social skills

  • football intelligence 

  • accountability 

  • problem solving

given the intimate nature of these academies, and my commitment to offering consistent feedback, they are limited to only 10 positions per academy. the next academy will be starting in the new year with a date and location to be confirmed. alternatively, i do offer hour-long private sessions for those looking to receive some personalised coaching which also includes developing an individual development plan (IDP). if you or your daughter are interested, please get in contact using the form below.
