Liv Phillips

“I currently work as an Outreach & Recruitment Officer at the University of Bradford, where I design and deliver outreach activities that help students explore higher education and support their university applications.
My time at THA Football Centres massively boosted my confidence. I learned to trust my instincts and make quick decisions, knowing that if something didn’t go to plan, we’d adapt and try again. The fast-paced environment taught me to think on my feet — whether that was adjusting a drill last-minute or handling the unpredictability that comes with coaching kids.

“I currently work as a football coach for the Al Jazira Football Club Private Academy in the UAE where my main responsiblities are delivering fun and engaging sessions to kids aged 5-11 years old.
My time at THA was one of the most informative, enriching, and fun experiences as a coach so far in my career. Having the support of Coach Ethan and Coach Simon really gave me the much needed boost in confidence I felt was necessary at the time. From being given bits of the session to plan and lead, to designing the whole session and managing a group on my own, the positive feedback really helped me develop both on and off the pitch!”

Joshua Hunter

“I currently hold the role of Manager of the Women’s Reserves Team at Horsforth St Margaret’s, where I manage the team and prepare players to step up to first-team level.
My journey at THA has been an incredible opportunity for personal and professional growth as a young coach, building my confidence and belief through continuous learning and a strong coaching support system that consistenly challenges and guides me.
I’ve gained valuable lessons from mentorship by Ethan and Simon as well as from applying ideas in practice. Key takeaways include the importance of peer communication, strong support networks, and to always “be a sponge.”
