Work with me

Start with what is in the way.

Coach mentoring, player analysis and coaching, and work with clubs. Everything starts with a free 20-minute intro call, where we work out what is interfering and whether I'm the right person to help.

Book a free intro call How it works
How it works

Four steps, the same for everyone.

Coach, player, parent or club, the work follows one sequence, so you always know what comes next.

01

Intro call

Twenty minutes, free. You tell me about the player or coach and what seems to be getting in the way.

02

Plan

I send a short written plan: the option that fits, what we will work on and what you will leave with.

03

Sessions

We do the work, one hour at a time, against the plan, with footage and session plans where they help.

04

Follow-up

A written summary and the next steps, so the work keeps going after we finish.

01 · For coaches

Coach mentoring

For coaches at any level, from grassroots to academy, who want sessions that look like the game and players who learn faster in them.

The session standard

Single session

$1501 hour

i = one problem you keep running into.

Who it's for
A coach with one problem worth an hour: a session that isn't working, a team that won't play forward, or a parent conversation you keep putting off.
What happens
Send me a session plan, a clip or the problem beforehand. We work through it against the four tests every session has to pass: ball rolling time, intensity, looks like football, and a real defensive problem.
You leave with
A reworked plan and one change to make at your next session.
Book a single session Start with a free intro call

3-month block

$7503 months

i = a coaching week that drifts away from the game.

Who it's for
A coach who wants to change how they coach across a whole season.
What happens
Two 1-hour calls a month for three months. Between calls I review your session plans or video, and you can message me with questions as they come up. We build on the method: CDE, the four moments, and team and individual intentions.
You leave with
Sessions you have timed and tested, a clearer game model your players can speak, and a routine for managing your own state on the touchline.

Six calls, plus reviews and messages, works out at $125 a call.

02 · For players and parents

Player analysis and coaching

For players who want to understand their own game, and parents who want a clear picture of what their player needs next.

What players learn to see and do

5-day block

$1,0005 x 1 hour

i = what a player sees, chooses and feels in the moments that decide a game.

Who it's for
Players from youth to senior football. Players under 18 book with a parent or guardian, who joins the intro call and receives the written analysis.
What happens
Five 1-hour sessions across one week. We start from match footage and a conversation, then work on what the player sees, what they choose, and how they handle the moments that decide games: the mistake, the bad call, the 82nd minute.
  1. Day 1Watch and talk: footage, goals and what the player thinks is in the way.
  2. Day 2The picture: scanning, 360 support and the progress option.
  3. Day 3The decision: intentions, range and pinning in their position.
  4. Day 4The moment: pressure, mistakes and a reset routine.
  5. Day 5Review and the plan the player owns.
You leave with
A written analysis, the clips that matter with notes, a reset routine, and a six-week plan the player owns.

03 · For professional players

Private analysis

An outside eye on your game, kept between us.

Private analysis

By enquiry

i = the decisions and moments a season of footage keeps showing.

Who it's for
Professional players who want an independent view of their game, in confidence.
What happens
We agree the scope together: match footage, the decisions behind your actions, and the moments that keep costing you. Sessions fit around your training and match schedule.
You leave with
A private analysis and a plan, shared with no one unless you choose.
Enquire in confidence
04 · For clubs

Talks, workshops and consulting

For directors, coaching staff and parent groups who want one way of developing players across the club.

All talks and workshops

Talks and workshops

By enquiry

i = a gap between what coaches think happens in a session and what does.

Who it's for
Coaching staff, club leadership and parent groups.
What happens
A talk or a hands-on workshop, on site or online. In Four Pillars in Practice, coaches guessed their ball rolling time at anywhere from 58 to 90 per cent. Few had timed it, and the ones who had came in lower. Every workshop starts from evidence like that, taken from your own coaches' sessions.
  • Four Pillars in Practice
  • The Player in the Game
  • Team culture: a value lasts when a routine carries it
  • One game model, youngest team to oldest
  • Performance, potential and interference
You leave with
Something every coach in the room can try at their next session, and the materials to keep it going.
Enquire about a talk or workshop

Club consulting

By enquiry

i = a club where every coach teaches a different game.

Who it's for
Clubs building or rebuilding how they develop players and coaches.
What happens
We look at how the club plays, trains and onboards coaches now, then build what is missing: one game model from the youngest team to the oldest, coach education that starts from your coaches' own sessions, and culture carried by routines a new staff member can see in their first week.
You leave with
A clear plan, the shared language to carry it, and the first steps already under way.

Questions

Before you book.

Anything else, ask on the intro call or by email.

What happens on the free intro call?

Twenty minutes to talk about the player or coach, what is going well and what you think is in the way. I'll suggest the option that fits, or tell you if something else would serve you better. There is no cost and no obligation.

Is this about football, or the mental side?

Both, because players don't separate them. A decision under pressure is a football action and a human one. We work on what a player sees and chooses, and on how they handle the moment, using the same method I coach with.

Can a parent book for their child?

Yes. For players under 18, a parent or guardian books, joins the intro call and receives the written analysis.

Where do sessions happen?

Calls run by video. Player sessions can be by video or in person around Chicago, and we agree what suits on the intro call.

How do I pay?

Priced options are paid securely by card through Stripe when you book. Prices are in US dollars. Enquiry options get a written quote after the intro call.

What if I need to move a session?

Email me as early as you can and we will find another time.

Do you work with clubs outside Chicago?

Yes. Talks, workshops and consulting can run on site or online. Tell me where you are and what you have in mind.

Start with twenty minutes.

Tell me about the player or coach, and what you think is getting in the way. If I'm not the right person to help, I'll tell you who might be.
