"I am so passionate about providing children with opportunities to pursue their dreams. Having had supportive parents who believed in me as a young child with a dream, I understand that not everyone gets the same chance. That's why I am creating a space and environment to help people realise their potential, not just in sports but in life.

“I now recognise the importance of the support and belief I received as a child, which played a significant role in my journey to where I am today. My dream was to become a professional footballer. I was determined to achieve it through hard work, sacrifice, and perseverance. I owe a great deal to my role model, my father, who instilled both morals and principles in me that have been instrumental in my sporting career.

”Being able to share these values and pass them on to the younger generation, so they can make a positive impact in their lives, means the world to me. It keeps my father's legacy alive and allows us as a family to enhance the lives of others. Family is everything to me, and I want to create the same sense of belonging within my academy.

“My mother and father raised me and my three brothers in a way for which we are so grateful. I am often asked, 'What is the secret to four brothers all achieving so highly in professional sports for a living?' Truth be told, we all shared our passion from a young age. We were heavily supported and told, 'If you are going to do something in life, do it properly and apply yourselves in the right way. You will always achieve what you want to do.”
