At Elite Sports Academy, our journey began in 2012 with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide the highest level of professional sports coaching for children in the UAE. Our goal has always been to offer every child the chance to learn and excel in their favorite sports, guided by our exceptional team of experienced and qualified coaches. Today, we are proud to serve over 3000 children each week, delivering on our commitment to quality sports education.

I have been coaching since I was 16 years old, which has provided me with opportunities to work in various countries such as the UK, Spain, Germany, Italy, USA, Qatar, and now the UAE. Witnessing children develop their skills and experience the joy that sports bring is something I truly cherish.

Elite is a vibrant and multicultural organization that encompasses a dynamic business environment. Working alongside some of the finest coaches and support staff has been an absolute pleasure. The energy within the office and during sessions is contagious, creating an atmosphere that fosters growth and success. Witnessing the joy and talent development of the children during their sessions is truly rewarding. It’s a constant reminder of the positive impact we have on their lives and the fulfillment that comes from being a part of their journey.

Bringing joy and making a positive impact on the lives of children is an incredibly rewarding experience. As a coach, it is both an honor and a pleasure to guide and nurture their passion for sports. The opportunity to work with a multitude of talented children and their supportive parents adds to the enjoyment of the role. Each day is filled with fulfillment as we witness their growth, development, and shared enthusiasm for the sport we love.

My coaching journey started in the USA, where I pursued a soccer scholarship while studying at a university in Florida. Upon returning to my home country of England, I briefly worked in Leisure Management. However, my passion for football and coaching players led me to Elite Sports Academy when I relocated to Dubai in August 2014. Since then, I have been fortunate to continue pursuing my love for coaching in a dynamic and thriving environment.

Joining Elite Sports Academy was a stroke of luck for me, as it is widely regarded as one of the most professional and renowned football academies in the UAE. In my current position as Director of Operations, I have had the privilege of playing a significant role in the academy’s remarkable growth. We have expanded our operations by adding multiple venues and introducing new sports such as swimming, gymnastics, and basketball. As a result, we have become the largest sports academy in the UAE, a testament to our dedication and commitment to providing top-quality sports programs.

Joining Elite Sports Academy in the UAE has provided me with an incredible platform to deliver top-notch coaching sessions in a remarkable part of the world. After coaching in the UK, Dubai became the ideal next step in my coaching journey, and I haven’t had a moment of regret since. Elite is truly an exceptional academy, and our dedication behind the scenes is unparalleled. We tirelessly work on developing pathways, ensuring that children can experience extraordinary sessions led by the finest coaches. It’s a privilege to be part of an organization that goes above and beyond to deliver excellence to young athletes.

Coaching sports is a truly fulfilling career that has granted me the incredible opportunity to positively impact the lives of numerous children. Serving as a role model and mentor, I take pride in inspiring and nurturing young athletes as they develop in their chosen sports. It’s a privilege to contribute to their journey and help shape their future. Witnessing their growth and witnessing their passion flourish brings me immense satisfaction and fills me with pride.
