Meet the coaches

SJ

Meet SJ! His name is Aaron, but everyone calls him SJ. The nickname has stuck with him since childhood, as there were two Aarons in his squad at Fulham Academy. SJ has accumulated more than five years of academy experience, and it was here that his understanding of football was shaped down to the smallest detail, subsequently influencing his coaching style. His approach demands resilience, discipline, high standards and a relentless drive to maximise development. The aim is to create an academy-style environment focused on shaping the correct mentality and ability in young players.

Jordy

Jordy’s time in the professional environment provided him with an in-depth understanding of the technical and mental standards required for success. This experience, along with having represented his country as Vice-Captain for the England Schools Boys team, cemented his appreciation for discipline, leadership, and high standards. Helping others unlock their next level is at the core of his coaching philosophy. Both he and his fellow coaches have walked in the players’ shoes and understand what it takes to progress, placing emphasis on a detailed awareness that goes beyond the basics.

Eric De Melo

Eric De Melo views football not merely as a passion, but as a craft. His lifelong love for the game, down to its finest details, has enabled him to develop into a strong and capable player over the years. Erics dedication to his craft and endless hours of studying how to master the ball has made him become ambidextrous, a strength he loves to teach. Erics ability to play off both feet and show visual demonstrations of how beneficial being ambidextrous is has allowed kids to understand the importance of being competent on their weaker foot. Constantly creating challenging environments to become more comfortable of both feet gives eric great satisfaction. As Eric has matured within the sport, he has discovered a new calling in coaching. He is now devoted to sharing his knowledge and experience with the next generation, helping young players to develop, improve, and fulfil their potential both on and off the pitch.
