Head Coach

My name is Theo and I have a wealth of experience in both grass roots and men's football.

My playing career so far - 
My first taste of men's football was at 16 years old as I was playing for Sholing under 18s and under 23s teams when the first team goalkeeper picked up a suspension. This lead to me playing 4 games at 16 years old in the Southern League Division One South (Step 4 of Non league Football) including a victorious playoff semi-final win against Wimborne Town which saw us get promoted.

I then went onto play a further 4 games for the first team whilst playing for the reserves and under 18s teams in the 2023-2024 season. During this season I also dual signed with Wessex Division One side Alresford Town to further my development with more playing time. 

I have since signed for Wessex Division One team Totton And Eling with a point to prove as I reach the age of 18 and look to take a full time plunge into men's football.

 

I am a FA level 1 qualified coach with a full DBS check and I have been privately coaching goalkeeper sessions for over a year as well as working separately for another coaching company supplying a range of different sessions for up to 20 children. As a young goalkeeper myself I like to use my own experience in goalkeeping to relate to my goalkeepers and aid them in their journey. 

This is why I decided at the start of my coaching business to offer any first session completely free of charge. From experience I know that not every goalkeeper coach is going to be suited to you and that's okay! This is why I offer a free first session as a taste of my way of coaching and to see if you think you could enjoy your development through one of my training plans.
