My son has been attending 1-2-1 and group coaching with Matt and his team at Thrive now for a few months, and he thoroughly enjoys it. He has gained new skills, tips and techniques which he is gradually adding into his game play.  This has improved his confidence around the ball and when in a team it has helped him understand positioning and keeping the ball safe during matches. Couldn't recommend Thrive enough for coaching. Not only are they good at what they do, they have great interpersonal skills to put yourself as a parent and your child at ease.

Our founders Matthew Johnson and Andrew Aspinall are both qualified teachers, educated to degree level and each have more than 20 years’ coaching experience in grass roots football and the professional game, working with the likes of Manchester United, Port Vale and Macclesfield Town. Both are UEFA B qualified football coaches and Level 1 qualified coaches in other sports such as American Football, Athletics and handball amongst many others.

At Thrive we have reinvented 1-to-1 coaching. There’s no false promises, no selling of pipe dreams, just high-quality coaching designed specifically for you and provided by experts with a broad range of knowledge and skills. Join us to realise your potential, get active, develop your skills, gain confidence, get fitter… and be prepared to thrive.

Within a few 1-2-1 coaching sessions, Matt transformed my confidence and took my technical skills to the next level. He covered all the main components needed for my position and was hugely positive and encouraging. In addition to the skills focus, he included strength exercises and taught me how to use various stretches before and after games to prevent injury and muscle soreness. Matt is extremely knowledgeable and a really positive coach. He has improved my overall game in so many ways.

I booked my 14-year-old son in for 1-2-1 sessions with Thrive at the start of the summer holidays after he sustained an injury and needed to work on fitness and acceleration. I cannot recommend Matt highly enough. He has a wonderful way with kids, not only has he helped my son reach his goals, but he has really boosted his confidence by developing his skill and always celebrating his strengths as well as helping him to lose half a stone. Every session is different and my son cant wait to get to training every week. Matts encouragement, praise and support have had significant positive impact in terms of my son’s, physical and mental health and we are incredibly grateful for this. Worth every penny!
