COACH SHIRO
LEAD COACH

Driven by a strong belief in building well-rounded individuals, my coaching philosophy extends beyond the field. I currently hold a UEFA C license and pursuing a UEFA B license. As a qualified Level 2 Gym instructor and Behaviour mentor, this equips me with a holistic approach to youth development.

For over a decade, I have dedicated my time to empowering young people and families through the power of Football. As founder and head coach of Neuro Pathway FC, I’ve witnessed first-hand the transformative impact of athletics, guiding countless youth towards not only athletic success but also valuable life skills.

COACH PATRICK

Coaching since 2010, acquiring a UEFA B licence,1st class honours in Sports Science and PE alongside a PGCE in Education; it was only right to couple and hone these skills in a challenging environment where the thought process is incorporated in young peoples development ‘Neuro Pathway’.

Work rate is key, never be afraid to go above and beyond! Even when it isn’t cool or no one is watching, can you do MORE? Not giving up, continuously studying the game (remain a student), staying current to ensure the continual success of young people.

COACH AHMED
UNDER 14 TEAL & TURQUOISE

I graduated in Mathematics with first-class honors, earning the amima title as a maths scholar during my PGCE. Outside of my studies, football is all I’ve EVER known! Having gained extensive experience over the years, I’ve played at various levels, starting from grassroots and progressing through district, county, to semi-professional. Although my playing career was curtailed by injuries, my passion for football fast-tracked me into coaching.

I’m dedicated to continuous self-improvement and development. Driven by a strong desire to excel and win, I aim to instill the same motivation in players. My goal is to develop them into the best versions of themselves, fostering an environment where they can freely express their abilities. I expect high energy, effort and a never-give-up attitude from every player.

COACH NANA
UNDER 14 PURPLE

My coaching journey began in 2009, as a volunteer at secondary school Brampton Manor. Passionate about sharing my playing experience and knowledge, the love of the game urged me to take on coaching courses in college while also playing for Lewisham academy, linked to Charlton FC. This is where I received my level 1 coaching badge before setting off to study a Sports Coaching degree at Leeds Beckett University.

There is no such thing as the perfect club, Neuro Pathway FC is just the right club. It fits with my belief as a person wanting to become a role model to young people, giving the opportunities that I never had to others.

Passionate about fostering both athletic, psychological and personal development in young players, I am committed to creating a positive and inclusive environment for every player at Neuro Pathway FC. My coaching philosophy centres around teamwork, development and the need to continuously be challenged in various environments.

With seven years coaching experience at various levels, I bring a wealth of knowledge to guide our young talents. I ensure that our training sessions are not only enjoyable but also based on the latest coaching methodologies and our unique coaching.

I’ve coached grassroots football in London for three years. Prior to coaching, I spent half of my life as an academy player with Lokomotiv Plovdiv. I have completed a bachelor’s degree in Global Business and Management and I am currently pursuing a Master’s in International Sports Management.

My primary aim is to develop young talents in their football journey. Whilst winning matters, I prioritise developing players to excel on the field. Fostering their confidence and skills is what I believe leads to long-term success.

I focus on mastering the basics to win matches and build intelligent players. That’s why I emphasise playing out from the back and involving every player in our attack. Consistently getting the basics right is how we shape future intelligent players for the game of football.
