Hi, I’m Sam!

I’ve been part of Learning Through Sport and Sport in the Community for over 13 years, and I’m proud to work across all three of our companies, including Playground Football. As one of our Head Coaches, I take on a wide range of roles and responsibilities.

During the day, I deliver pre-school sessions as well as care home activities, keeping children and older adults active, engaged, and smiling. You’ll also find me leading after-school clubs and, in the past, I’ve delivered PPA cover in schools. My evenings and weekends are dedicated to football coaching, where I run fun, energetic sessions for players of all ages and abilities.

I love building connections with the people I coach — I bring enthusiasm, encouragement, and a sense of humour to every session. For me, it’s about inspiring hard work and progress, while making sure everyone has fun along the way.

Outside of work, I’m a big Liverpool FC fan and get to Anfield whenever I can. I’m also passionate about many other sports, including tennis, cricket, boxing, and athletics. Staying active is important to me, so you’ll often find me in the gym or out walking.
