Testimonials
“Robbo is easy to talk to and very trustworthy with any problems you may need to discuss. Always has your best interests at heart and very easy to connect with”
— Roman Walker, Leicestershire County Cricketer
“Having someone like you who understands the pressures an athlete, and humans in general, are under who can impart a mindset that is simple but effective has been incredibly helpful. I would urge schools, athletes, young and old or anyone seeking a little positive reinforcement and encouragement with a focus on the controllables to use your approach. I can only speak from our experience but the way you’ve abled James to take control of situations, think positive, instilled a belief system and generally passed on your experience is hugely appreciated and most helpful. You have made a huge difference and even at 18 training in a men’s national camp with Canada, it didn’t phase him. There is a huge correlation to his work with you and his current enjoyment on the pitch”

Paul’s talk to my students was inspirational and all of them have been able to take something valuable away that they can apply to any aspect of their lives. Paul’s friendly approach ensured that everyone was comfortable to ask questions and get a real insight into what life as a professional footballer and coach has been like for Paul. I would definitely recommend for others to use Paul’s services to provide motivational support to those that may need it.

Robbo has been the highlight of our Coaches CPD programme so far. Giving a fantastic insight to life as a professional football player and coach, and what it takes to excel in these environments.
Open, down to earth and personable, Robbo was more than forthcoming to answer any question set to him, whilst offering some real nuggets of information and guidance to support our coaches in their development.
With so much passion and knowledge, Robbo sharing his experiences and advice around leadership, building resilience and a performance mindset is something I would greatly recommend to any organisation looking develop their staff and stakeholders.

I worked with Robbo for nearly 3 years at Millwall. Robbo is a person who has dedicated his time to develop me on/off the pitch.
He’s an honest coach who has guided me through difficult situations, when I’ve not played so well but then praised and encouraged me to keep my standards high when confident. He only has my best interests at heart!
Time was not an issue with Robbo, he spent as long as I needed on the training pitch, to work on areas of my game that could help me improve. I would also spend time with him in the analysis room, picking his brains as much as possible on my body positioning, defending 1 v 1’s and attacking with intent.
Robbo’s played at the highest level, he’s experienced all the highs and lows and If it wasn’t for his support, I wouldn’t be the player I am today, or have the knowledge to play consistently to a high level of performance.
Everyone needs a Robbo on their journey and I’m very grateful in having that time with him.

Robbo is a great coach who I spent a lot of time with last season (22/23). He helped and guided me through the good and bad times during my loan. He has got his players best interest at heart and as a player its what you want from a coach. The individual extra sessions we did on a regular basis allowed me to keep my tools sharpened for whenever they were needed. He has a great knowledge of the game and as a defender it was brilliant to soak up his advice. Without him I wouldn’t be where I am today!
