🗣️ LET’S TALK ADHD 🗣️
Last week, at the age of 41 🤯, I was finally diagnosed with ADHD by a psychologist. I have suspected this for a couple of years now, and it’s a mixture of relief, frustration and needing a moment to fully process it, and its impacts. I’m currently in the process of selling a lung - maybe two - so I can get a full diagnosis and further advice from a psychiatrist 👀💰.
I share this for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, I hope it goes some way to explaining why sometimes I’m a little bit longer in some of my responses than what I should be 😬. There are many such administrative tasks that I sometimes find challenging in running this business. It’s especially frustrating for me because intellectually, they’re simple things to do. However, when the typical ADHD overwhelm comes into play, simple things sometimes become a lot more challenging than they should… It’s a work in progress, but I appreciate everyone’s patience with me 😊❤️.
I also share this to reassure some parents. Whilst I am definitely still learning and I’m far from an expert, I can at least say that I understand 😊. If you know or suspect your child has this, I would like to think I can be of some assistance in their journey, and treat them appropriately. Please don’t be shy to share this with me 😊👍🏿.
Everyone needs to stay fit and active, and have the appropriate self-management and social skills, and I accommodate as many kids as I can - regardless of whether they’re neurodivergent or not.
We’re not broken, our minds just work differently! ⚙️🧠

Thanks, Coach Ryan ❤️

I was fortunate enough to visit Jamaica several times as a kid - and again in 2017 - but would be the first to say that I have a lot to learn about the place. However, I do know that it is a part of me, and I am proud to have made my small donation to help in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. Feel free to yourself - or even just share the following donation organisations - to help get this beautiful island back on its feet

I am very pre-occupied with my own daily obligations and obstacles (growth opportunities in disguise) at the minute, but need to spare a quick moment to acknowledge Sweet Jamaica, as she is suffering at the moment 😢
No better time to remind ourselves, and the world, of the national slogan, which essentially means “we’re small but mighty” 💪🏿
Indeed you are Mama JA! ❤️
I believe the following are reputable places to make a donation, and will be doing so shortly:

🥇 WINNING - 2 of 2 🥇
When I went to login to check out the latest lovely program review (see previous post) I noticed that I am now featured on the homepage! I am honoured to be one of a select few services that the team use, to highlight the many amazing activities out there for your kids.
Again - it’s especially meaningful as I still know I haven’t even scratched the surface of what I know I can achieve, when a few more things align for me. Watch this space…
In the meantime, I’d love to see your little one get involved in term 4! Booking link in bio, check it out to arrange a FREE TRIAL session!
See you on the pitch

🥇 WINNING - 1 of 2 🥇
Just checked my emails and saw this lovely review! I have been blessed to have several of these, but still get the same sense of pride when they come in 👊🏿❤️. I really do try and ensure that each child both learns and has fun in each session - so it means a lot when people recognise this, and take the time to share their kind words.

For beginner and improver boys and girls aged 6-9, your little star will receive first-class soccer coaching, covering all core technical and physical skills (i.e., ball mastery, footwork).

This holistic approach to child development is an extension of the term-time program, which has proved to be a hit with fellow local parents:

🗣️“My son absolutely loves Coach Ryan and Galaxy Sports Coaching! He looks forward to each class and has grown and developed throughout the term. Not only have his soccer skills improved but Coach Ryan teaches life skills and values which absolutely aids and supports my son’s development. We would definitely recommend Galaxy Sports Coaching!”

⚽️🦶🏼BALL JUGGLING 🦶🏼⚽️
Probably my favourite thing to do when I have a ball at my feet - even when at home 😊. It has loads of benefits for young players, too:
1️⃣ Better Ball Control – Mastering different touches (laces, inside, outside) helps with dribbling, passing, and shooting.
2️⃣ Improved First Touch & Weak Foot – Juggling builds soft, controlled touches and encourages using both feet.
3️⃣ Coordination & Balance – Boosts foot-eye coordination, body control, and overall agility on the field.
4️⃣ Focus, Patience & Confidence – Teaches kids persistence, improving concentration and belief in their abilities.
5️⃣ Creativity & Game Awareness – Helps players develop rhythm, timing, and comfort with the ball, leading to better decision-making.
💡 Tip: Start with 1-2 juggles, then progress! To take it a step further, add a bounce in between, as per the second video.

Also, the acclaimed Soccer and Healthy Minds program is back as of Friday 7 February 👍🏿.
