Delighted to announce that I’ve recently transitioned into a new role at Southampton FC - remaining part of the same department, but moving across into the International arm of our team 😇

After a year of leading our Schools & Education delivery within the regional team, I’m really looking forward to this next opportunity, centred around creating and developing new player-specific opportunities, while continuing to grow and enhance our existing experiences ⚽️

My new role will see me focus on developing and expanding our residential experiences and creating opportunities for local, national and international players, alongside growing our Affiliate Partner network both across the UK and overseas 🌍

Slightly late, but it's great to finally have the 2025-2026 season wrapped up! ✅️ With the past year being one of the busiest, yet most rewarding, of my coaching journey 📈

Xcel Performance Coaching has continued to go from strength to strength, whilst also marking my return to Southampton FC. With the latter already providing countless opportunities and experiences, but most importantly has coincided with the privilege of continuing to develop as a coach within the Academy pathway, working with fantastic young players in the Pre-Academy and supporting those at the very beginning of their journey with the club 😇

Now, the focus turns to 2026-2027! 📅

For which I'm incredibly excited to see our Xcel Performance Coaching evening centres and Xcel FC players continue their development, embrace new opportunities within my role at Southampton FC, and welcome further young players into the Academy pathway - with the new age groups beginning this evening 🙌

Alongside this, I'm also looking forward to continuing to grow JT Coaching, starting with limited availability for 1-to-1 and small group coaching sessions over the coming weeks. So, if you're looking for individualised coaching to help take your game to the next level, I'd love to hear from you - and please get in touch directly and as soon as possible to secure your space 📲

In the meantime, here's to another season of learning, development, and helping players become the very best version of themselves. Bring on 2026-2027! ⚽️

Superb round of fixtures down at Staplewood this morning with our U7’s pre-academy group! 😇

The boys had to battle and adapt against different opposition as well as the heat! 💪🔥

Really pleasing to see how they stood up to and embraced those challenges, and rewarding to watch their performances - especially in the way they demonstrated the key tactical aspects set out for them! ⚽️

Looking forward to the return of our Xcel FC camps, specifically setup for those either currently apart of our Xcel FC programme, or looking to join for the 2026-2027 season! 🙌

This time last week 🔄

Fantastic day for the Southampton FC & Manchester United Legends game, with arguably the best moment having the chance to get a photo with one of my favourite players growing up - Dimitar Berbatov! 🇧🇬

Proud to be part of such a memorable and iconic occasion yesterday, supporting the Southampton FC Legends team against Manchester United Legends at St Mary’s Stadium, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the club’s historic 1976 FA Cup Final victory! 😇🏆
