CW Coaching

LLS 24-26 ✅

A great day yesterday signing off my time at with 3 awards:

- (Year 2) Brighouse Coach of the Year
- Overall Yorkshire Student of the Year
- Overall LLS Male Coach of the Year

Easily the best 2 years of my life so far, the amount of opportunities i’ve had during my time at LLS has been unbelievable as I have been able to achieve some of my wildest dreams before even turning 18.

LLS has pushed me out of my comfort zone time and time again whether this was public speaking, coaching abroad or coaching at world class facilities including the Joie stadium.

I would without a doubt say my favourite experience was with Kisakallio rewards trip, this massively pushed me out my comfort zone and developed my social skills massively, as I made friends with other LLS students from all over the UK during my 2 weeks in Finland. 🇫🇮

Being able to coach abroad 3 times in Finland once and Alicante twice is something I will always be grateful for and it has definitely set me up perfectly for my time in America with ⚽️

Not only having the great opportunities to coach abroad but being able to build work experience hours and develop my coaching skills throughout my time at LLS has created a great platform for me to build from. 🧠

Would like to say a massive thanks to all my tutors who have supported me throughout my time at LLS with great support from Matt, Ste, Ben and Tash during the 2 years i’ve had at LLS.

Looking forward to the summer in the States and what follows after! 🙌🏻⚽️

2025/26 ✅

It’s been a busy year, with some unbelievable opportunities and experiences throughout, achieving some of my dreams before i’ve even turned 18 is something i’ll always be grateful for. ❤️

Throughout the 25/26 season I have had the great opportunities to:

- Develop my coaching skills by coaching the U7 and U8’s age groups at my local grassroots club
- Complete work experience with the Football Education department of Manchester City
- Complete my UEFA C Licence
- Assist on 2 weekends
- Secure a summer contract with at the Global Coaching Conference
- Became a Community Coach for
- Complete 30 hours of coaching within a Spanish Speaking school 🇪🇸
- Have a UEFA C ‘Day in the Life’ filmed by the FA about my journey in coaching
- Start coaching at local private academy,

I have genuinely learnt so much throughout the season and it has definitely shaped me as a coach, being able to get on the grass and consistently build on my coaching hours has massively improved me as a coach and person. ⚽️

A big summer ahead in the States, where I can’t wait to apply the learning i’ve took from back home and take it in my stride across the world, in a complete different setting. 👊

Friday night, this team did something special, winning their first ever tournament 🏆

A proud moment that reflects so much more than the result. It is built on hard work, commitment, and everything put in both on and off the pitch.

From day one, the talent was there. The main focus for me as a coach was turning individual talent into a team effort.

Bringing together a group of talented individuals and helping them grow into a great team meant setting clear standards that everybody understood:
• Hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard
• Work for each other, not just yourselves
• Encourage and lift your teammates
• Stay positive, especially in challenging moments
• Be coachable and open to learning
• Most importantly, enjoy the game and play with a smile

This win shows how far they have come in mindset and togetherness 🧠

Proud of every one of the lads. It is a pleasure to coach this group 👏⚽️

Absolutely delighted to say i’ll be heading over to the United States as a summer coach for . ⚽️🇺🇸

I have known this since the Global Coaching Conference back in November which is a great opportunity to allow students like myself, to coach abroad.

I am looking forward to the experience of living in a different country and doing the thing I love, which is coaching.

It will be a unique opportunity compared to my previous coaching experience abroad however I hope that my previous experiences can help me adjust to life in America and hit the ground running! 🇺🇸
