Coaching you can measure.
Most 1-2-1s run on opinion. Ours is backed by data. Farhan is a UEFA-C qualified football coach and a sports scientist who has worked inside three Category 1 academies, and progress is tracked the way the professionals do it.

Measure
Smart boot sensors record every touch with each foot - passes, sprints and top speed. The same technology used in Premier League academies.

The numbers show exactly what to work on. Each 1-2-1 player gets a personal development plan across all four corners of the game.

Research-informed sessions, designed by a qualified coach with a BSc in Science & Football and an MSc in Strength & Conditioning.
