I attended King Edward's Witley and completed my exams without excelling in anything other than sport, which led me to my sports qualification from Nescott college which I completed in May 2026. I now run JL Elite Coaching and have a portfolio of customers that includes children of all backgrounds including ex-premier league footballers.
I feel that building confidence is just as important as building skills. Many children feel intimidated going to an after school club where they feel they are not good enough to compete but would welcome an hour in their own garden where they feel comfortable and more confident. On the other side of the scale, some children are much more advanced within a group and need to learn advanced skills quicker which a one-to-one session allows to happen. In a world dominated by devices, I believe we should encourage children to go outside more as a couple of hours a week in fresh air and natural light really helps improve physical fitness and mental health.
Right now I offer one-to-one coaching but my aim is to grow and create small group sessions, especially for young people who benefit from extra support and encouragement. I am passionate about building something that makes a real difference both on and off the pitch. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me. If you have any questions or would like to book a session, feel free to get in touch. I would love to help.

Huge shoutout to Jamie on the launch of his new football training business.
My son absolutely loved his session and came away buzzing with confidence and excitement. The coaching was brilliant- energetic , encouraging and really engaging for thr kids. You can tell how passionate he is about football and helping children develop both skills and confidence.
Its so nice to see someone creating such a positive environment where the kids genuinely enjoy learning and improving. Highly recommend to anyone looking for football coaching for children- we'll definitely be having him back.

Our son has had several sessions with Jamie now, and they've quickly become the highlight of his weekend. He gets so much value from each one , Jamie thoughtfully tailors each session to focus on exactly what he needs to develop and refine. Jamie is always punctual, professional and friendly. We couldn't recommend him more highly.
