• 1) What age did you start playing sport? Tell us about this time or moment in your life.

  I started playing sport at a very young age, around primary school,
  and football quickly became a huge part of my life. I remember
  spending hours playing in parks and local pitches, constantly trying
  to improve. That period shaped my discipline and competitiveness early
  on—it wasn’t just about playing for fun, but about getting better
  every single day. It built my mindset of consistency and hard work,
  which I carry with me now as both a player and a coach.

• 2) What are your favourite sports; those that you practice at a high level, a simple hobby, and a sport that you'd still like to discover?

  Football is my main sport and the one I train and perform in at the
  highest level. It’s where I’ve developed most of my skills and
  understanding of teamwork and performance. As a hobby, I enjoy fitness
  training and occasionally playing other sports like basketball to stay
  active and improve coordination. A sport I’d love to explore more
  seriously is boxing, as it builds mental toughness, discipline, and
  physical conditioning in a different way

• 3) What gives you the motivation and passion to pursue your sport?

  My motivation comes from the desire to constantly improve and push my
  limits. I’m driven by the idea that there’s always another level I can
  reach, whether that’s technically, physically, or mentally. I also
  find motivation in helping others improve—seeing players I coach
  develop confidence and skills gives me a real sense of purpose.
  Football isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely care
  about.

• 4) Do you have a sporting achievement that you're particularly proud of?

  One of my proudest achievements is the progress I’ve made through
  coaching others, particularly in one-to-one sessions. Being able to
  see players improve because of my guidance and effort is something I
  value highly. It shows that I’m not only developing myself as a player
  but also as a coach who can make a real impact.

• 5) How have your achievements and challenges made you a better sportsperson?

  Both achievements and setbacks have shaped me significantly. Success
  has built my confidence and shown me what I’m capable of, while
  challenges have taught me resilience and patience. There have been
  moments where things didn’t go my way, but instead of giving up, I’ve
  used those experiences to improve. That mindset has made me more
  disciplined, focused, and mentally strong.

• 6) If you had to go for a jog with a famous athlete, who would you choose? And what questions would you ask them?

  I would choose Cristiano Ronaldo because of his incredible work ethic
  and longevity at the top level. I would ask him how he maintains such
  a high standard consistently, what mindset he uses during difficult
  periods, and how he balances discipline with enjoyment in the sport.
  Learning directly from someone with that mentality would be
  invaluable.

• 7) How do you help people stay motivated?

  I help people stay motivated by setting clear, realistic goals and
  breaking them down into small, achievable steps. I also make sessions
  engaging and positive, so players enjoy the process while improving.
  Encouragement and honest feedback are key—I make sure players
  understand their progress and believe in their ability. Motivation
  comes from both structure and enjoyment, and I aim to provide both.

• 8) What makes you a Superprof in sports?

  What makes me stand out is my combination of passion, experience, and
  commitment to improvement. Despite my age, I bring strong coaching
  experience through one-to-one sessions and a deep understanding of
  player development. I’m also actively working towards my FA Level 1
  Coaching Licence, showing my dedication to becoming a qualified and
  knowledgeable coach. I’m energetic, relatable, and able to connect
  with players, which allows me to get the best out of them while
  creating a positive environment.
