"Observation, decision-making"

"I can't speak highly enough about Terry's attitude to football, coaching and the boys who train with him. My son plays for a Football League academy and has found Terry's coaching and encouragement invaluable. Whilst he receives great coaching from his club, Terry offers a slightly different style in my experience than most academies, development centres and grassroots coaches who have to focus on a number of players at any one time. Although slightly hesitant initially (as the last thing you need for kids is to have different coaches sending out conflicting messages), Terry took my son's progression targets/goals and tailored a training programme which dovetails precisely with his academy development, despite them being totally independent. Terry's focus on intelligent play, observation, decision-making and speed of thought are what sets his coaching apart, although all his sessions involve a tough workout due to the 1-to-1 intensity. What's great if your child is playing at academy level, is that he can train with Terry in an environment where he is not continually under intense scrutiny but the quality of training is as good as his club's, with freedom to express and make mistakes without pressure. If you want to help your child develop at academy level or just help them improve their focus, understanding and mindfulness at a grassroots level then I can't recommend Terry highly enough. The more kids understand what they need to do and why they need to do it, the more they enjoy the game and for me that's what it's all about."

"Physically and mentally"

"I can't recommend Football Brain Training highly enough. My son is a very keen footballer and has thoroughly enjoyed training with Terry. The 1-2-1 sessions are designed to challenge both physically and mentally. Every session has ended with my son asking when he'll be going again! Terry's philosophy and approach are spot on."

"Lots of confidence"

"Owen really enjoys the 1 to 1 coaching that Terry provides. He is very professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Owen always looks forward to his session, as Terry really encourages him which gives him lots of confidence, and he has been able to use Terry's techniques to improve his game. "

--- Leanne Birkett, for Owen Birkett, Exeter City FC academy

"Well structured, challenging"

"We have known Terry for a few years now and whenever my son Harley gets any spare time in between his Plymouth Argyle academy commitments, we always try to get a session in. The coaching sessions are of an outstanding quality, well structured, challenging and very enjoyable. Terry is thoroughly professional and passionate at what he does, and is so approachable and great with the boys. We would 100% recommend Football Brain Training 1-to-1 coaching to anyone who wants to improve their football. "

--- Mark Sneap, for Harley Sneap, Plymouth Argyle FC academy

"Intelligent footballer"

"There are so many positives to Terry's sessions. His enthusiasm for the game and the session can only bring the best out of any player. He is attentive to detail and gets players to ask their own questions and find solutions, rather than a coach who just walks you through a game. If your player wants to be an intelligent footballer then this is the way forward. If he put together a youth football team, Louis would be there. Keep up the great work coach!"

--- Jason Yeo, for Louis Yeo, Torquay United and Exeter City FC academy

"Intensity"

"Great one-to-one coaching, with a high intensity workout!"

--- Lee Wood, for Finley Wood, Torquay United FC

"Importance you place on the mental skills"

"I just wanted to thank you for the care and attention you have given to Fred during your 1-1 coaching sessions with him, and to let you know how much he enjoys them. It is obvious how much thought and planning goes into each session, and you manage to achieve a perfect balance between providing an energetic physical workout and a focus on skills & technique. Of course, the unique aspect of your sessions is the importance you place on the mental skills so vital for becoming not just a complete footballer, but more generally, a high-achieving athlete in any sport. These may seem like complex concepts for a young mind to take on board, yet you seem to be able to communicate them in a way that's clear and meaningful, and I am sure it will help with Fred's performance both on and off the football pitch. Finally, when my son has been to one of your 1-1 sessions, I know he will come home with not just better fitness and technique, but also with a better understanding of what it takes to be the best player he can be, both individually, and even more importantly as a member of his football team. Many thanks once again. "

"Thought"

"Absolutely great, well thought out sessions."

--- Darren Jeffries, for Zach Jeffries, Torquay United FC

"Awareness on and off the ball"

"We received a recommendation to work with Terry which is always a good start. Terry is a top man - full of enthusiasm and passion for the game. My son really enjoyed the sessions and received many benefits. Perhaps the key benefit was to enhance his awareness both on and off the ball - to ensure that he understands what's going on around him in a 360-degree way. We will be using Terry again and I would have no hesitation recommending him."
