Hi! I'm J.T.

I am a CAF B Licensed football coach with a decade of experience spanning grassroots, academy, and professional first-division environments in Africa.

My background in sports science and coaching has enabled me to gain experience in a large chunk of what makes up the football ecosystem – coaching & recruitment, performance & medical, management, and coach education. This, together with my deep involvement in a variety of sports (rugby, basketball & weightlifting), has come to inform the integrated approach I use to develop people and put teams together.

My passion lies in understanding why the best performers in the world are the best at what they do. This started as a desire to become a better athlete and later grew in my quest to help the players I worked with become more competitive. My journey now is about trying to figure out the principles behind high performance to help people compete, live better, and feel more fulfilled.

Outside football, I am extremely curious about coffee, aviation, automotive engineering, urban design, and military operations. I am also extremely active – you can find me weightlifting, running, or out on the road cycling.
