Southampton FC Academy - is worldwide known for producing worldclass youth players and one of the best youth academies in the world.

All of my playing days are from England at the highest of levels and long ago. An early end to pro playing inspired an early start to pro coaching.

Worldclass Technical Coaching. Technical coaching is a core principle of a Long Term Development Plan, a typical session would depend on the athlete or team but expect fun, engaging, creative, energetic and knowledgeable sessions. I use a lot of psychology in my sessions, each player will leave feeling excited, tired and confident.
A few of the players analyzed & worked with; Alex Chamberlain - Arsenal, Luke Shaw - Man Utd.

My son enjoyed his session with Coach Tom - "very technical - he provided specific feedback on touch, judging the flight of the ball, how to open up your body, etc". These sessions will be very helpful for my son to get ready to try out for the college team.

Good coach. Very positive! He knows his stuff!

I'll never receive training from Sir Alex Ferguson but Coach Tom is close enough that I don't care. I'm glad I was finally able to schedule a session with him, I just couldn't find the time to make it work. And with my schedule it might be a while before I meet up with him again, but I know it'll be worth the wait. He started me off with a few drills to gauge my skills and immediately recognised some flaws in my footwork. Stuff that I hadn't even thought about. I told him I had never received any formal instruction and he assured me that even the best players that come to him have flaws in their game. The best part about the session was his knowledge! I felt like I asked a lot of questions but he was super patient and answered every one of them. He's got lots of great insight from his time in Europe and understands the mental side of the game. Coach Tom is cool and the fact he really likes teaching youth players speaks to his passion for the game. Some coaches want the older lads because they have to teach the basics less but Tom seems to prefer to make sure a kid is molded correctly into becoming as good a footballer as possible. If you're in doubt, go for one session. Whether or not you schedule a second session, you won't be disappointed.

Great Job!! A very nice guy and he know what he’s talking about.

Tom was very knowledgeable and detailed in the assessment of my daughter. He laid out a training plan and areas where she needs to make adjustments. He offers a lot encouragement and enthusiasm to the training.

Coach Tom is everything that I was looking for in a trainer. In general my son does not enjoy extra training, his training sessions with Coach Tom were the first time ever that he was excited attend. The skills that he has gained will aid him greatly in the upcoming season.

After our daughters first session I can tell you that coach Tom is top notch. He took the time to interview her to assess current abilities and tailored his training to best fit our athlete. He is very knowledgeable of the goalkeeping position. His training is intense but fun and rewarding at the same time. It is rare for a young athlete to be worked so hard and immediately request another session, as was the case with our daughter.
