03 Player Development

Potential is the easy part. Navigating the journey is everything.

Player development is rarely a straight line. The players who make it aren't always the most gifted at twelve. They're the ones supported through the moments that decide careers: the step up, the move, the plateau, the setback.

I made that journey myself, sixteen years as a professional, and I led the development of players at Manchester United who went on to reach the first team, among them Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay, Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Greenwood, James Garner and Angel Gomes. I work with academies, clubs and individual players to build development that reaches beyond the technical and tactical.
