More About Coach Tom
I have experience working with players of all groups and abilities. I hold my FA Level 2, Certificate in Coaching Football and FA level 1, in Talent Identification. I am currently the head coach of a club team in Florida and youth scout for D.C. United Academy. I have ambitions of one day coaching at the highest level.
I started my playing career off at Blackburn Rovers F.C. and progressed through the youth ranks to the reserve team. After 7 years at Blackburn Rovers, I was offered the opportunity to move to the United States on a scholarship to study and play division 1 soccer at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. During this time, we won the American East Championship and reached NCAA Final Four. I have also played in the Premier Development League for Golden State Misioneros, Mississippi Brilla and Albuquerque Sol. In my career have been lucky enough to play alongside and against many top professional footballers who currently play in the English Premier League, MLS and other top leagues across the world.
Each session plan is tailored to the player's needs and ability. After evaluating the player's technical ability, together we will develop a training program. A typical training session begins with a proper warm-up/muscle activation before going into some agility and speed exercises. I will then put the player through some technical drills for example passing, control, shooting. I will usually end the session with a fun game and finally a cool down and stretch.

Tom is a fantastic coach. Has already made such a difference after 1 session. Looking forward to many more.
Ashley (CoachUp client)
Awesome first session with Tom! He was great with my daughter and she said she learned so much in just one session! She can’t wait to work with him again.
Nicky (CoachUp client)
Coach Tom was fun to work with. He engaged the kids to make the session fun and interesting. He even had a short scrimmage with the kids after the session and they loved it. I will definitely continue working with him.
Elaine D (Testimonial)
Coach T was awesome. My son had the first session with him. He taught my son some soccer skills. Most importantly my son was very happy. Watching him playing soccer, laughing, and having fun made me happy too. I think my son will gain some confidence through those sessions. Coach T is very good with kids.
Brian E (Testimonial)
My son had a great first session with Coach Tom, and they connected well. His training and techniques were very effective in helping my son to identify strengths and areas of improvement. As my son is hoping to play college soccer, he is looking forward to more training sessions. I would highly recommend Coach Tom.
Cesar A (Testimonial)
Training went very well. We worked on agility, speed, technique, and other advanced areas of play. I enjoyed the practice and felt challenged throughout it.
Stacey K (Testimonial)
Tom is fantastic! He was quickly able to see the areas in which my son needs improvement and focused on those skills over the course of their sessions. Most importantly though, My son had a blast as Tom works hard to mix up the drills and make them fun. I highly recommend Patrick for players of all ages and skill level!
Louis D (Testimonial)
The training that Coach Tom is providing my daughter has been very beneficial. He communicates extremely well with her and encourages her to asks questions. His way of breaking down each move has helped tremendously. We are looking forward to working with Coach Tom each week. I would recommend Coach to all.
Faith W (Parent of u7 player) (Testimonial)
Coach Tom was amazing. My son raved about how much he learned, but equally how much fun he had. The fact that Ethan left the session with a greater appetite for soccer serves as evidence of Coach Patrick's effectiveness as a coach. His unique techniques, patience and always going the extra mile for his students really stands out. Highly recommend!
Raúl R (Parent of U10 player) (Testimonial)
Coach Tom is superb. Just had our first private training session and my 10-year-old son is super happy. He learned more in one session than during the whole season worth of group practices at a local league. Tom is very motivational, with the right level of high expectations, humor, patience, and great technical skills. So far, Tom really stands out among several coaches we have had and we look forward to many more sessions with him.
Susan G (Parent of U8 player) (Testimonial)
From a parents perspective, Coach Tom is punctual, engaging, thorough and easy going. My 8-year-old son who is 2 years into soccer wanted to train more than the 2 times per week her club schedule. So I wanted to find a coach to compliment her current training while also getting her individual exposure that you won’t experience in a team setting. Tom created instant rapport with my daughter and made the session fun and challenging. I think he is approach was perfect to nurture her development. Very easy to recommend Coach Tom no matter what level your child is on.
Jackson R (Parent of U12 player) (Testimonial)
Coach Tom is a great coach, I’d recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their son/daughters skills. I have already I notice improvements in my daughters game after just one session. Highly knowledgeable of the sport.
David C (Parent of U8 player) (Testimonial)
Coach Tom was great working with my 8 year old son. He assessed his strengths and weaknesses, challenged him in the areas he needed work, and encouraged him along the way while still making the session extremely fun. It’s immediately evident when meeting Michael how experienced and knowledgable he is, and my son left his first session wanting more. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants a high level of coaching with individualised sessions.
- James C (U18 Player) (Testimonial)
Tom is a fantastic coach. Not only is he exceptionally skilled, experienced, and knowledgable, but he brings an infectious and inspiring energy and enthusiasm to every drill and every session. I also love how he frames his critiques in a positive and constructive light. He instills belief in my own capabilities, helping me overcome any doubts in my head. I look forward to each session with Tom. His sessions are high-intensity and fun, and guaranteed to improve your game.
- Emily Howard (Parent of U9 player) (Testimonial)
