- WHY ?
Growing up, football was more than just a game for me—it was my escape. It was the one thing that made sense in a world where trouble was always around the corner. But like many young people in my community, I lacked the support, the guidance, and the opportunities to turn my passion into something greater.
I remember the struggles—the temptations, the bad influences, and the feeling of being lost with no real direction. I needed someone to believe in me, to push me, to show me that my talent and dreams mattered. But that person never came. So, like many others, I had to figure things out on my own.
Now, I want to be that person for the next generation.
That’s why I’m starting a football academy—not just to train young players but to mentor them, to guide them, and to keep them away from the same traps that nearly caught me. I want to give kids a place where they feel safe, valued, and empowered. A place where they can dream beyond their circumstances and work towards a future built on discipline, teamwork, and passion.
Football has the power to change lives. It teaches resilience, respect, and responsibility—qualities that go beyond the game and shape who we become. My goal is to help young people realize their potential, not just as athletes but as individuals who can make a difference in their own lives and their communities.
I Know what it’s like to feel unseen. I know what it’s like to need a chance. That’s why I’m here—to make sure no young person has to walk that journey alone.
This isn’t just about football. This is about changing lives—one game, one lesson, one young person at a time.
WHO IS RUNNING THIS ?
This project is run by myself but it involves the community as a whole from Parent's, Teachers, young People and local residents as we know that in the long run we would have a safer community with real role models.
WHERE WILL THE MONEY GO ?
The money will used for kits, football equipment, costs of hiring pitches, Classrooms for homework clubs , level 1 and 2 Coaches and water and refreshments when the session are on. We all know that the cost of living is at a all time high and we don't want young people to loose out because they can't afford to pay subs for the sessions that's why we want to do this for free and give them all a chance.
