A Hero's Welcome: Go Football Academy Recognised by the EFL & Sage!

Football Training Milton Keynes
Written By Farhan Kharawala

I have some incredibly exciting news to share! I was recently honoured with recognition through the Sage Heroes of the EFL initiative. As the official accounting software partner of the English Football League, Sage runs this campaign to highlight the small businesses and dedicated individuals who form the backbone of local communities and support our beloved football clubs.

To be recognised by the EFL and a global business like Sage is a massive validation of the hard work we put in every day - not just on the pitch in Milton Keynes, but also through our online coaching programs.

Why This Recognition Matters

This isn't just a trophy on the shelf; this honour highlights the core mission of Go Football Academy: to bridge the gap between grassroots and professional youth football.

My background as a Master in S&C at clubs like Everton FC and Liverpool FC Women's Academies taught me that physical development and injury premitigationvention are non-negotiable foundations for success. However, that high-level expertise shouldn't be confined to academy walls.

This recognition from the EFL and Sage validates our commitment to:

  1. Local Impact: Providing dedicated, high-quality coaching right here in the Milton Keynes area, helping young people develop tactically, technically, socially and physically.

  2. Community Support: Ensuring that the grassroots level - the real heart of football - has access to the same calibre of training knowledge used by professional clubs.

  3. Instilling confidence: Giving every child the opportunity to be their true selves and take the confidence on the pitch, to off the pitch as well.

đź‘Ź Thank You: Building the Next Generation Together

I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me, from the players who dedicate themselves to the process, to the parents who trust me with their child's development, and the local coaches who collaborate with us. This is a community win.

Being named a "Hero" within the context of the EFL's dedication to local football is an immense privilege, and it fuels my commitment to continuing to provide outstanding and inspiring levels of football coaching. We are building the next generation of gifted, confident and happy young people.
