Terry W.

I have a wealth of knowledge and experience having both played and coached at English Premier League level. My playing career saw me as an integral member of a very successful Nottingham Forest side in the late 1980’s through early 1990’s managed by the legendary Brian Clough. I also represented my country, Scotland, and was involved with the national team programs from the age of 14 years until injury forced me to retire from playing.
I have dedicated my coaching career to the development of the advanced youth player and have held a National Youth License Diploma for over 10 years. I also possess the UEFA ‘A’ License Diploma.

Some positions that I have held in the professional ranks of the game in the United Kingdom are: Academy Head Coach, Sunderland AFC – English Premier League; Community Education Youth Coach, Hearts FC – Scottish Premier League. In the United States, I have coached at the club, high school and college ranks of the game. Players who have worked with me have moved on to playing in the English Premier League, National Teams, D1 College Teams

Private Training sessions will accelerate a player’s learning curve and development. The player will work on a 1-on-1 basis with through an individualized training program. If possible prior to commencing the program, I will observe the player perform in a match/training game. After observation, an individualized development plan will be designed and this will form the framework of the training program.
