One to one

Every minute goes to one player.

A 1:1 starts from where your player is now, and works out what comes next. Sessions focus on their individual needs and on long term development, not quick fixes.

Every player leaves with something clear and practical to work on.

What to expect from your session

Tap to open

One player and one coach, working together on the 3G. Individual attention and clear feedback, so the whole hour is theirs.

The session is shaped around the specific part of their game the player wants to move forward.

Parents have told Jonathan about work on breaking lines, getting into good positions and brave first touches, and about players now carrying the ball forward before making attacking passes.

Jonathan focuses on each player's individual needs and on their long term development, through person centred coaching around the person and the player.

One player told us their confidence was low when they started, and that Johnny brought their spark right back and taught them resilience.

Jonathan takes 1:1s on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Lucy Stevenson, of Hibernian FC Women, takes 1:1s on Mondays and Wednesdays, and Siobhan Hunter, also Hibernian FC Women, on Tuesdays. Sundays are ad hoc.

Who these sessions are for

1:1 sessions are recommended from age 10. For younger players, small groups start at age 5. See small groups

All ages and stages, boys and girls. The hour is shaped around the player in front of the coach, whatever level they play at.

With nobody else on the pitch, a player can try things, get them wrong and try again. One parent said Johnny has a brilliant way of connecting, encouraging and motivating, recognising strengths while building on the areas to improve.

Training with a friend or a teammate? A 2:1 session is one hour, booked one at a time.
