Football Coaching Experience 

I am currently the Head of Academy Strength and Conditioning coach for Oxford United FC. My previous experiences have involved working at other professional football clubs such as Charlton Athletic FC, Birmingham City FC, and Derby County FC. All my previous roles have involved working within the academy improving fundamental movements and developing strength while also improving speed qualities.

​

My Role at Oxford United FC Academy

My role is to improve the physical development between the ages U17s – U21s ensuring they can cope and exceed the physical demand that is placed upon them while closing the gap physically between our academy and first team. Football is evolving and the
requirement to become athletic, robust, and resilient are important qualities to ensure that an individual can become effective on the pitch. I work closely with the technical coaches at the club to improve and develop our players movement efficiency. For instance, focusing on landing mechanics while the CB is jumping in the air heading the ball upon landing. Or working on acceleration and deceleration mechanics to ensure our players can press effectively and follow the tactical demands from the football coach.

​

Session Plan 

The aim is to improve the athletic development of an individual to improve game speed and endurance with an integration of football conditioning and improving technical ability. S&C assists with the technical and tactical demands of football which will enhance your
performance and reduce the risk of injury. If you sign up to a package of sessions, you will also have the following at the beginning and end to track and see the improvements you have made.

1. Professional performance testing of speed and agility.
2. An estimation of adult height and analysis of maturity status for your son or Daughter.

Find out if your son or daughter are an early or late developer? What do they need to focus on?

Growth spurts can affect football performance such as Co-ordination issues and movement quality declines. S&C reinforces the correct technique that they have lost due to growing which will aid their football development.
