Coaching through Transition and Change
I am a certified coach specialising in supporting men in midlife and athletes approaching the end of their sporting careers through periods of transition and change. With a background in sport and football development, I spent many years working for organisations including Sport England and The Football Association before establishing my coaching and consulting practice in 2016. I qualified as a Personal Performance Coach in 2017.
I now work with men who feel stuck, uncertain, or at a crossroads, as well as athletes — both men and women — navigating life beyond competitive sport. Whether the challenge is a loss of direction, identity shift, career transition or redefining purpose, I understand how destabilising these moments can be.
Having personally experienced redundancy, divorce, self-employment and fatherhood, I bring lived experience alongside my own research into men’s development and transition.
My coaching helps people step back and gain clarity before moving forward with intention. I offer a confidential, practical space to explore where you are now, what matters in the next chapter, and how to take meaningful action. This approach combines reflection, challenge and accountability, supporting midlife men and athletes to build fulfilling lives beyond their current reality.
Coaching with me is for those ready to navigate change with purpose rather than drift into it.
