Heading into my last module (research) for the MSc before the dissertation, sort practical tasks for the A licence, managing a post 16 scholarship programme, part time coach at Posh & oppo reports for Bourne town, all whilst Ellen is 33 weeks pregnant. Tired but motivated ⚽️📝🧠

Also looking for a tour sponsor or two. It’s a big ask I know, but having taken over the responsibility of St John Fisher I’d love to organise the first ever European tour. Utilising the contacts from bosses to organise big games but also giving the lads memories for life ⚽️📝💙
We are looking for companies to sponsor our next crop of @YDPltd scholars based at St John Fisher school in Peterborough. An exciting bunch coming in for the next two years, please message me about more details with regard to amounts. Thanks! 💙🤍⚽️

Missed yesterdays game as away for my 3rd wedding anniversary. 2 outa 2 for us so far, an exciting group to be working with & can’t wait for the league to start in a few weeks! We are also looking for sponsors for the new season as well as a potential tour sponsor to Greece ⚽️💙
Another good test for our AllStars today against a well drilled Tresham College side. Our AllStars played some lovely stuff at times and came out with a very good 3-2 win. A great start to the season and school year for our lads 👌🏻🔵👏🏻

Coaches took full advantage of any stoppages to emphasise coaching points. Players drove themselves & their team mates with a technical flair as expected with the Spanish, to match their tactical know how. Safe to say my Spanish needs work but I will continue to practice 🇪🇸⚽️📝

Yesterday was my final day; I went to observe academy matches. Very impressed with the maturity & quality shown by U13/14s. Tactically recognising when a pathway is closed, to go out the other way, really impressed me. Mature & smart. Athletic coaches were noticeably relaxed ⚽️

Second day was all about observing sessions, under 15s, Basconia (C team) and the first team! I was really interested in the coach interactions and their interpretation of the Bilbao philosophy in sessions and finally the session design. ⚽️📝🧠

A great first day, thank you so much to Eneko at Bilbao and my wife’s first cousin Jose who helped connect the dots. Loads to process ⚽️📝

Tried to process the draw whilst walking the dog but my head will be spinning all night. Lads should be proud of the point against a well established step 4 side but gutted to concede so late on into questionable amounts of stoppage. I just can’t get my head around 11+ minutes!
Full Time It ends in a draw at the Lawn. Thank you for your support this evening and we'll see you back here in the FA Cup this Saturday. 🟣1-1⚪

This week I’m excited to head to Bilbao (not to visit Ellen’s family) but to visit Athletic Bilbao academy ⚽️ A club I’ve had a lot of love for since Bielsas Bilbao destroyed Sir Alex’s united in the Europa league in 2012 & more recently through Ellen’s family. Can’t wait 📝⚽️

Great to get into the next round but even better for the lads to get a win against step 4 opposition. Going into another game against Wellingborough on Tuesday in the league. Lads can take a lot of positives from this and build, still a lot more to come from this group ⚽️💪
FT | A hard-fought 2-1 win! Peters with a stunning opener, and Darlington rounds off a brilliant move to seal the victory. Into the hat of the draw we go! @BourneTownFC 2-1 @doughboys_wtfc

It was great to be back at it with Posh last night ⚽️ I’m a creature of habit so having that structure back for my weekly schedule is massive! 2025/26 season let’s do this ⚽️📝

Last week at our 3rd @2000trees in a row, smashing time with no signal, real switch off from football/work. Me & El have booked next year already 🎶🚎 Back on it Monday with sessions at YDP, staff inductions for Posh & a game with Bourne. Lots of A licence work done as well 📝⚽️
