“Firstly, thank you for taking the most important step in helping your child achieve their true potential – the first step.

May I congratulate you for taking that bold move in truly helping your child develop a life-changing skill.

Many people believe that great football players just walk on to the pitch and perform like champions. I have known 2 or 3 players that can do this, but most cannot and don’t.

Most professional players give themselves the advantage of learning good habits and useful skills from an early age. They use coaches and academies that give thoughtful planning and preparation to the development of them as individuals.

Remember, the more you practice and play the easier it gets. Just about everything you do easily now was once difficult to do. From fear to confidence, from difficult to easy; from incompetent to competent – that’s something we repeat over and over again throughout our lives.

And in between all of this practice and playing you must ensure that you are forming good habits, not bad ones.

Learning a skill like goal scoring and how to be a striker gives your training meaning and depth, even at an early age. It builds healthy self-esteem, which prevents unhealthy addictions and destructive behaviour.

Gaining new competence in such a skill automatically enhances your confidence in all other areas too – home life, school and beyond.

In short, you’re going to find the ability to score goals to be a major asset in your child’s life. Just take a look at some of our clients’ comments here.

You’ll see a common theme in most of those comments around confidence and self esteem. And it’s no mistake that Striker Academy players are of the most confident football players developed in Warrington. 

So if you’re looking for a fun, friendly, rich learning environment where your child can build their confidence, are encouraged to be creative and learn emotional and mental skills too – life skills that will stay with them beyond football, then please do take advantage of our first lesson free and come along and experience the Striker Academy way of coaching football.

I look forward to meeting you in person and welcoming you and your child on to our exclusive programs where your child’s true potential is allowed to grow and develop.

Thank you in advance for being a part of the Striker Academy Soccer Schools experience.”
