“TJ worked with me during my younger ages at Southampton focusing on strength and conditioning and I can honestly say he made every session fun and helpful. I was able to develop physically very well through his attention to detail in exercises and practices and motivation he applied everyday. He’s a great coach and person which made him so easy to work with”.
— Nicholas Oyekunle | England U18 & Southampton FC
“TJ was a massive part of my journey from ages 12-16. As someone who had targets of being more mobile & explosive on the pitch, I worked with TJ on a 1-to-1 basis. We did this both in person and online. We started by outlining the programme, and he was very clear with what he wanted us to achieve from it. We started with mobility before moving onto hypertrophy & strength. We also worked on my running mechanics & combining this with the gym work, made me more of a physical presence on the pitch and my ball regains increase as well as my physical testing.
Finally, TJ is not only a great coach, being clearly passionate about his work, but a great person as well. He brings the energy to sessions, and i thank him for everything he’s done for me.”

“TJ is a top S&C coach who helped me develop from the early ages of my academy journey. He also helped me through my injuries and get back playing quickly. Also a great guy who made me enjoy my football experience much more”

“I thoroughly enjoyed working with TJ (AthleticDev coach), he helped me become a better player through his strength & speed work. His sessions are enjoyable and beneficial to all. Definitely recommend!.”
— Jayden Moore | Southampton FC
“During my time at Southampton, I worked with TJ through multiple age groups and still to this day one of the best in this department. Attention to detail with his work is different class and has made me and many other plays enjoy this aspect of the game but also made us better players and athletes as a whole. His sessions have been enjoyable no matter what age I was and throughout my time at Southampton TJ was a great person to go speak to about advice throughout my journey, whether that was becoming better at S&C, football, or even off the pitch stuff.
It was a pleasure working with him and a really good person to learn off and become better.”
— Oliver Shield | Brentford FC
“I worked with TJ on a number of occasions while at Southampton throughout many different ages groups. He help with building up a number of different aspects that are crucial for becoming a top athlete that I still use to this day. Was always fully of energy and joy and wanted the best out of every single player he was working with. Made sessions fun and enjoyable but also made them so that we got the specific movements and exercises done with the best of our ability.
Great person to get tips and support regarding S&C!!!!”
