Hi, I’m John!

My journey with Learning Through Sport and Sport in the Community started 4 years ago as a parent, watching my son Jacob take his first kicks in football. After a year on the sidelines, I joined the coaching team — and now you’ll usually find me leading our brilliant Junior Ballers on Monday nights, and either our amazing girls’ group or one of the fantastic older mixed groups on Saturdays. I also coach an U10s team at AFC Stoneham.

Outside of LTS, I’m a proud dad to three wonderfully chaotic kids. I’m also a foster carer and adoption mentor, which gives me valuable insight into working with children with SEND, Autism, and ADHD. That understanding helps me create inclusive, supportive, and fun sessions where every child can thrive.
