It’s amazing to see Finlay Gorman and Harry Gray together with the @england U17s 🏴🦁

Keep smashing it lads and KEEP MOVING FORWARD 💙

Dennis Bergkamp vs Argentina (1998).
One touch to take it out of the sky. One touch to take it away from the defender. One touch to finish. Pure elegance under pressure. 🎩🇳🇱
A goal that felt less like football… and more like art.

End of season? Ask the magic question — how did you really do? ⚽️
Not just results… the details that build results:
your training habits, nutrition, sleep, mindset, recovery, and how you showed up day to day.
Be honest. Get granular.
That’s where the next level starts

With the #WorldCup nearly here, we’re looking back at some of our favourite moments from World Cup history. 🌍⚽️
Starting with a dear friend of Simon’s, #CarlosAlberto and his iconic goal vs Italy (1970) 👑🇧🇷
A reminder that the World Cup gives us moments that live forever!

Find a yard. Create a chance. ⚡️⚽️
This is all about repetition — manipulating the ball and shifting your body to make space for a cross, pass, or shot.
Small movements. Big outcomes. 👊

Win — KMF.
Lose — KMF.
Confident — KMF.
Doubtful — KMF.
Whatever the moment… keep moving forward. That’s the mindset. 👊⚽️

Feints aren’t just feet — they’re shoulders, arms, hips, eyes. 🎭⚽️
If you want real disguise, you have to sell the story with your whole body and make the defender commit. That’s when the space appears. 👊

What I learned from Gareth Bale ⚽️
One of the biggest lessons? Adversity.
He wasn’t always the standout in his age group — but he kept working, kept improving, and kept believing.
Progress isn’t always loud at first. Sometimes it’s just consistent.

Stepovers… but with power. ⚡️⚽️
This drill combines quick foot switches and explosive movement into the stepover — building sharper feet, stronger balance, and more power when you attack the defender.
Skill is great. Skill with power is dangerous. 👊

Max Dean back on the scoresheet this weekend ⚽️🔥
Half-cleared cross, brilliant thigh control in an awkward spot, then a composed finish on his weaker left. Proper striker’s goal. 👊
(Celebration needs work though… 😅)

What’s your best way to recharge? ⚽️🌿
Sometimes it’s a session like this… calm setting, simple passing, mind switched on but body relaxed.
What helps you reset and feel ready again? 👇

Simple setup. Big improvement. 🧱⚽️
Pass into the wall, receive it back like a real pass, and practise your turn with intent.
Repetition builds confidence — and confidence builds players. 👊

Throwback to the late 90s 🇧🇷⚽️
Simon headed to Brazil to study why their players were so far ahead technically — and came back obsessed with the detail: close control, fast feet, quick decisions… and the influence of futebol de salão (futsal) in creating world-class touch.

Those lessons shaped everything that followed — including working with elite players like Michael Owen, and bringing that Brazilian-inspired technical foundation into player development here in the UK.

Your first touch sets everything. ⚽️
3 ways to receive the ball — from simple to difficult.
Practise both feet, get comfortable with different surfaces, and make it second nature. 👊

Simple. Sharp. High reps. ⚽️🧱
One-touch passes off the wall, alternating feet.
A great way to build rhythm, improve your passing detail, and get comfortable playing first-time on both sides. 👊

Happy Birthday to Neymar 🎉⚽️
One of the most skilful, exciting and entertaining players of his generation — the kind of footballer you can’t take your eyes off.
So much joy, creativity and flair… and a reminder that football is still an art form when it’s played with freedom
