My main niche is is soccer because that's the sport which I coach, but I do work with coaches in all sports from basketball to paddle to tennis to To baseball, right? You name it. We have worked with Coaches in that sport, right? So get in contact with me if you need any further help, right? So let me give you a little bit of background on how I ended up working with Ben how I became part of make money coaching sports how Pretty much my day-to-day is and what what I do within the company. So back in 2018 I believe Right, I was working and living in the United States So a lot of you might not know my background, but I'm gonna go I'm gonna go through it very briefly. Okay, so Back in to from 2013 to 2018. I was working and living in Baltimore in Maryland United States. I was working for a soccer coaching company. I Was assistant manager there in for that region for that company and but like a lot of kind of Entrepreneur minded people and I Got to the point where I said to myself, right, I think I've reached The top right, I don't I think I've learned everything. I think I've done the sessions over and over again and I filled out everything. I'm doing now is just repeat repeat repeat So Essentially what I decided to do is I said, right? I feel that I'm not I'm not progressing Any fervor in my career? So what I want to do now is I want to start a soccer academy Okay, and the idea was to move back to the UK where where I'm originally from and Start a soccer academy there where I could Teach kids My methodology Put together a business or a company that that believes in my values that and that represents And me and and how I want players and individuals to be developed, right? So in 2018 early 2018, I believe it was about April and Like most of the coaches that I work with and probably like yourself now I came across Ben's channel right, I came across his channel and started watching his content and At the time he was selling a book, right? It was an online start-up book That if you want to get you know, if you want to buy it if you want to purchase it reach out to me Just send me an email and I can Send you that that book To buy right, but it was a it was pretty much it was a business start-up business Book that teaches coaches how to start their business, right? It was about Think 12 10 to 12 pages really really good book and then after that book what I did is I jumped on a call with Ben okay, and on that call Right at the time I was still in the United States, so I didn't Have any physical business going on right so Ben what he did what he does always really great when he works with coaches He gives you a plan and the plan was to focus on my website and just structure the business Right while I was in the US so that when I got back to the UK, you know, I had a plan I had a vision. I had a strategy. I had everything and all I needed to do is then implement and Essentially, that's what happened when I got back to the UK. I touched London, right? I arrived back London my home city and within the space of less than a month I was already working with my first client where I was working with With an 11 year old a boy I was doing one-on-one sessions and then from there the business kind of just kept growing right? I set up the business legally. I Set up a business bank account. I did all of that and then I've got my first client and I said right if this is working I just have to double down on it and then that one client became two clients then became three then four Then five then six and when I got to my sixth one I transitioned it into groups and Then essentially that's what it then became it became group training and I was doing twice a week group sessions but then I decided that that wasn't a Good model for me. So I moved all the training sessions to one day and That was Saturday morning. So what that then allowed me to do is focus Monday to Friday on the sales and markets inside So I can continue to grow and scale those groups, which I did Okay, we reached about 50 kids and It allowed me to do it full-time. They which is Something that a lot of coaches want to do but they don't know how to do it. So You know, I I got back to the UK. I realized, you know, what like this this what Ben teaches works It's worked here in the UK. I've got my business up and running So I went back to him when I said Ben, I want to help you. Okay, I want to help you grow I want to help you scale I want to help you to help more coaches because what you teach works So what I started to do with him is I started to write blogs So if you go on to build my sports biz calm Right. We I used to write a lot of blogs for Ben And and as a as a result of those blogs, we started to get some coaches purchasing pro Products so part of that blog we used to sell ebooks or we used to sell a free call On we've been so that use that started to do really well and we continued to do that to the point where I Said to him right I need to do something else now because That works and we're going to continue to do that. What else can I help you with so the next bit was then right? He said, okay, I need someone to help me on the sales side of the business So I said, okay, perfect. And that is essentially what I do now. Okay, I work Closer with Ben work with him every day. And I work specifically more on the sales side Talking to coaches bringing coaches into the program into our ecosystem jump in on free 15 to 20 minute calls Closing coaches into our program. Right. That's essentially what I do now But the message is it all started from Getting help Right a lot of coaches watch our program and they've been so watch our videos And they've been watching them for two three years And they've been watching them for two three years, but they've never actually reached out for help Okay, you can consume as much content as you want But at some point you have to implement If you don't implement then you will never get results with whatever you're doing. I mean if you're not getting results That's when frustration kicks in Happens and that's when a lot of people end up quitting because they haven't implemented or they're not getting results so That is my story how I ended up working with Ben I know a lot of coaches do ask me this like what are you doing or what you What are you doing every single day? How did you meet Ben? How did you become part of this? So I do a lot of the background stuff within the business And it's more focused on the sales aspect of the recruitment of coaches. So You know if you want to learn more about our program if you want to speak with me What I do at this point is I offer free 15 to 20 minute zoom course With coaches who need help with their training business as I mentioned at the beginning I'm more in the soccer training industry.
