Coaching

After playing football at club level and later working in the South African soccer media for over a decade, I began my inroads into football coaching in 2012, when I was part of the Muizenberg Beach Club. This club catered for children from disadvantaged areas, offering activities such as surfing, hiking and football.

Following this, in 2013, I identified a need for individual soccer training – from a physical, mental and emotional capacity, and pursued this for five years – during which time I was fortunate to work with some very talented players and helped take them to the next level.

In 2017 I joined the Jean Marc Ithier (JMI) Academy as an assistant coach for the Under-16 team and did a coaching course with the South African Football Association SAFA). A year later I was in charge of the JMI U18 team and later helped to launch and run the JMI Striker’s Academy.
