Proud is an understatement, sat here watching my Son’s first interview with a smile & a tear 😂😂
Not because of the football but because that young man who speaks so well & shows how much he loves the game, with a smile & character, is all I ever wanted to see ❤️ #Love #proud

Got to watch my son @LockParis come on for @AFCWimbledon in their first team friendly last night. Though it was only a friendly and when he came on it was a youthful line up, my Apple Watch alerted to tell me my heart rate just jumped to 120bpm whilst I was not moving haha #love

No child is turned away. At Carpe Diem FC when your child comes for a trial, it’s us that are on trial and not the child. If the child likes what we do, there is a place for them to play. It’s our job to coach not just select the best players that turn up. #grassrootsfootball

Some people might disagree & give me examples of players who’s attitudes were questionable but what I would say is that in the long run, ability only takes you so far, personality, character, work ethic, things I class under “attitude” become much more important #growthmindset

Talent gets you so far, personality and character gives you a career. Also as a coach I would be challenged more by the player less talented. The talented player was likely to succeed regardless of my input, the player with less talent made me work harder to make him better.
