CEO, FOOTBALL ANALYST

FOLLOW on social media / contact

As the founder of TheMastermindSite.com back in 2016, I have worked tirelessly to create one of the biggest tactics & analysis websites the beautiful game has to offer. Combining my knowledge of writing, coaching, analysis and the game as a whole, I want to help you take your craft to the next level.

In 2020, I helped undergraduate students at Western University in London, ON, develop their coaching craft, in a three month Coaching & Leadership course. A month later, I began my path as the Technical Director of the club I started my coaching career with, helping coach, mentor and develop close to 100 coaches. In 2021, I began working with current and former professional players, helping them develop their knowledge and ideas about the game, improve their performance and prepare for life in the coaching world. Throughout that time, I accumulated training through MBP and the PFSA in the realms of analysis, scouting and performance-based football; the OS, CSA, and HighFive in coaching & mentorship; and worked with coaches around the world from 20+ nations. In 2023, I am now back at Western University as a Lecturer, teaching their Coaching & Leadership course to 50+ undergraduate students.

Since the start of my mentorship masterclass, I have worked with professional players, former pros developing their coaching craft, industry-leading writers, and community coaches. Not every professional environment has the ability to afford a performance analyst, so I offer a cheap option for pro players and coaches to take their knowledge and game understanding to the next level, developing solutions, training techniques and tactical understandings through the analysis of video footage in a 1-on-1 setting where continuous feedback can be applied.
