With over 20 years of playing and coaching experience, I founded FTP Sports in 2005.

It started when we were searching for an academy for my eldest son, Shane. When we could not find what we were looking for, my wife suggested that I start one myself — and that was how FTP Sports began.

Since then, I have continually refined my coaching approach — introducing Multi-Sports fundamentals alongside Football to build total movement, and developing the Flipped Classroom to help children think and speak before they apply.

From these experiences, the Mind • Motion • Heart framework was formed.

Through two decades of working closely with children, I have learned to recognise their behaviours, strengths and challenges — and turn those insights into better, innovative learning methods and activities at FTP Sports.
