About Tom

20+ years of experience, from pro academies to grassroots—designed to help you coach with confidence and clarity.

Why Coaches Come Here

You want to help players improve, run engaging sessions, and build teams that enjoy the game. But planning can be overwhelming and great ideas shouldn’t cost you hours of searching and prep.

That’s where I come in.

With over two decades of coaching experience at a Category 2 academy from U7s right through to U16s. I’ve worked alongside first-team staff and seen what it takes to develop players at every stage. Now, I bring that same academy-level knowledge to coaches everywhere, giving you tools you can trust.

What You’ll Find:

• Proven experience: Real-world academy methods, shaped for grassroots and beyond.
• Practical tools: E-books, training syllabuses, and match-day planners to simplify your coaching.
• Inclusive approach: Resources designed so every player, whatever their level, can benefit and grow.
  

A Note from Tom

“I’ve been fortunate to spend over 20 years in professional academies, but my real passion has always been simple: helping coaches make the game better for their players.

Whether you’re leading your first grassroots team or preparing an academy squad for match day, I know how challenging planning can be.

That’s why I created Pro Academy Drills—to share proven tools that make your job easier, give players better experiences, and keep the focus where it belongs: on learning, enjoyment, and development.”
