About Alfie
Alfie is the sole employee of Intentional Football: a private football coaching service that personalises training to the players' needs.
Alfie has connections to academy scouts and has assisted three players to be scouted for trials, had one signed and worked with three academy players. Alfie also has helped multiple players sign for Roehampton Elite and various other local grassroots clubs.
Alfie also works with adult beginners and has assisted many to playing consistently at a recreational/social level.
Alfie holds 18 years of competitive playing experience, 10 years of coaching experience (FA Level 1, Introduction to Futsal, Safeguarding and Enhanced DBS certified), and is the Founder/Head Coach of Intentional Football.
In his youth, Alfie represented Old Actionians, Brentford FC, Old Isleworthians, CB Hounslow, Bedfont Sports, and Brentford FC (Futsal), as well as training with Brentford FC and Chelsea FC’s development programmes (feeders to the academy).
As an adult, Alfie spent three years competing in the US at different collegiate programs. He was a captain at Cayuga Community College, where he was selected as the coach’s player of the year, and made both the MSAC Conference Team of the Year and the Region’s All-Tournament Team. He most recently competed at NCAA D2 institution UT-Tyler.
Whilst still a student-athlete in the US, Alfie would use his time off to build Intentional Football. Alfie recognised the importance that individual training, both alone and with private coaches, had played in his football and character development. Solitude and time spent with a revered individual created a “big picture” approach to his game and social interactions that he still uses to find solutions today.
In 2022, after moving back to the UK, Alfie made Intentional Football public. His aim: to be the coach he always desired to have had as a curious, young mind; patiently teaching the importance of high-quality decision-making through football.

Reviews
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience had by the students of Alfie.
Perfect! Alfie is an incredible tutor. He was training our 6 year old boy, and he just has a great way with training kids. We were so impressed with his ability to teach, and inspire our boy to learn. We will definitely be working more with Alfie, who not only is great one-on-one with our boy, but also has the connections to clubs and more training options.
Perfect! My lesson with Alfie was fantastic he gave me great advice and broke down the exercises slowly which gave me the confidence to build up faster as I went along.
Excellent! Alfie has a knack for connecting with children. It brings me joy to see my 12-year-old son genuinely enjoy a sport. Highly recommended!
Perfect! My son Jamie was super happy with the lessons that Alfie gave him! Thank you!
Perfect! I’m a complete beginner adult footballer, and Alfie taught me some of the most important essentials during the first two lessons. He gave me just the right amount of challenges so I feel like I’m learning, but also having fun and building confidence to this new sport. I also find his calm demeanour very helpful with learning in general. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn from the best!
Perfect! My son seem to really enjoy his first session and is looki Foward to the next. We like the fact that he payed attention to details and gave us tips about things we had questions about
Perfect! Alfie is worth £200 an hour. Trust me. This is more than just a basic football technique lesson. It's like a lesson in football psychology too. He is very good at knowing exactly what to say to each person to get the best out of them. For example, I have ADHD and he says different things in different ways so that make brain can process it differently.
A little child came up during our lesson to see what we were doing and he was able to interact with him as well.
A highly intelligent young man as well as incredibly talented at football. He really is the best of the best and you shouldn't hesitate to select him as your coach! Thank you Alfie. I'm looking forward to next week already!Perfect! I have loved my coaching sessions with Alfie. He is very professional, full of knowledge and I gained a huge amount of confidence in my play and lots of new skills. Don't hesitate to use him if you want to improve your game or like me are new to football and want to master the basics. He is a great coach and such a nice guy too which is a bonus.
Perfect! My son Johnathan had a great lesson with Alfie , it was extremely professional. He felt he learned a lot . Thank you Alfie for this amazing lesson you made our holiday perfect.
- Alfie's response :
He was an exemplary student. His talents did not detract from his mentality. Every drill he did with intensity and a focus rarely seen. Mistakes were rarely made but when they were his reaction to retrieve the ball was so quick you barely noticed the mistake happened.
He is a credit to himself and it is no surprise he is playing at such a high level. I wish him all the best in his pursuit to the professional level.
Perfect! Alfie’s been amazing in helping me transition to an outfielder. His training sessions are top-notch, focusing not just on skills, but also on the mental game. The impact was immediate - I played some of my best games eBen after my first sessions. Can’t wait for my next session with him on Tuesday. Highly recommended!
- Alfie's response :
He’s an attentive listener and intentionally implements the small details necessary to improve his game.
I’m keen to continue his development and help him reach his goal of becoming a regular member of his club’s 1st team.
Perfect! Amazing training. My son is 7 and have done 2 classes with Alfie. He enjoys the classes very much and learns a lot from Alfie. Alfie explains and spends time in making sure kid understand. Highly recommend
- Alfie's response :
Perfect! I am pleased to provide a glowing review for Coach Alfie, our football coach. His custom approach in communicating with both, children and parents, is commendable, as he tailors his methods to meet their individual needs and goals. Alfie consistently displays a high level of professionalism, always prepared and proactive in his coaching duties.
One of Alfie's standout qualities is his proactive nature. He consistently shares the program ahead of each session, ensuring that everyone is well-informed and prepared. This level of organisation and communication fosters a positive and efficient environment for both, players and parents.
Alfie's positive attitude and motivational skills are invaluable assets to these trainings. He knows how to inspire and motivate young players in the right way, creating a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. His dedication to training our son as a goalkeeper is evident, and he consistently delivers impactful sessions.
Overall, Alfie has proven to be an exceptional coach. His custom approach, professionalism, proactive nature, positive attitude, and ability to motivate make him an inspiring mentor. I highly recommend Alfie, as he consistently exceeds expectations and delivers outstanding results.- Alfie's response :
Perfect! I have been training with Alfie for just under a month now and it has been truly phenomenal. In a short space of time I have already seen significant improvements in my physical, technical and mental play. Each one of Alfie’s sessions have a balance of practical and theory that makes it clear what you are doing and why. After each session I feel my confidence and skill build. Alfie also challenges me and pushes me out of my comfort zone, for example with my left foot game. This is a part of my game I ignored in the past and already in a short space of time I have been able to start using my left foot to pass and even shoot in games more often.
- Alfie's response :
Perfect! Coach Alfie was excellent in both sessions. I hearnt and benefit alot from him.
I highly recommend him for players who want to improve their awareness and decision making.- Alfie's response :
Perfect! My son is finding the lessons very helpful and confidence building !
Perfect! Alfie has been with my son for a few short months and in that period has made a dramatic difference to my son’s football skills. In the several years prior to this point my son had been in a variety of group football lessons and playing at school. However, his progress took a dramatic turn for the better with the assistance of Alfie. Alfie is both patient as well as professional and is able to be a great role model for youngsters. He makes lessons interesting and imparts real knowledge and skills which would otherwise be difficult to obtain. I’m happy to whole heartedly recommend Alfie to any parent.

My son had several one-on-one football training sessions with Alfie, and he looked forward to each and every one of them. He came home energised, motivated and happy. Alfie not only offered technical skill training but was a good mentor. He understood what drives my son, his frustrations and behaviours, and provided relevant and necessary guidance to help him work toward his goals. We're very grateful.
We were over from Sydney visiting London for a month over the summer and contracted Alfie to do 1 on 1 coaching for both my boys, aged 11 and 8, who play at rep level in Sydney. We booked 10 sessions with Alfie and briefed him on what they needed to work on. Alfie then tailored each session in line with the objective. The training was fantastic, especially the drills they did around shooting, body feints, and rapid changes in direction, and transferred well to the remainder of the season. Alfie also built great rapport with the boys and was very easy to deal with and flexible with training locations. We'll be back over Xmas and plan to do more training sessions with Alfie. I couldn't recommend Alfie more highly!
We’ve been working with Alfie for over a year, and he has consistently proven to be an exceptionally trustworthy and dedicated tutor. When my son began, he had minimal experience—but thanks to Alfie’s expert guidance, patience, and commitment, he’s now playing at a level close to academy standard. Alfie’s knowledge and tailored approach have truly brought out the best in him.
Alfie always listens to what I’m looking to improve on and sets up drills which really focus on those skills. He provides feedback which is easy to understand and implement. Great coach, knowledgeable and friendly!
Thank you Alfie for the exceptional one-on-one sessions you’ve conducted with Christian. He has learnt a lot during the sessions and enjoyed them all.
Your patient coaching style has really clicked with him, making each session something he looks forward to.
We’ve noticed he’s not only getting better at dribbling and passing but he’s also more confident on and off the field. It’s clear you’re passionate about coaching, and it shows in the way you connect with the kids. Your efforts have made an impact on Christian’s developmentMy son has been receiving private football sessions from Alfie, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. He's kind, knowledgeable, and has excellent communication skills with young players. We began to see noticeable progress and improvement in our son's skills within just 3–4 weeks. We would definitely recommend Alfie to any parents looking to support their child's development in football.
Alfie has been absolutely fantastic with my 5-year-old son. From the very first session, he created a fun, supportive, and energetic environment that made my son feel excited about football and eager to learn more. Alfie has a natural talent for working with young children—he’s patient, encouraging, and knows exactly how to keep them engaged while building their skills and confidence.
Each session is well-structured yet playful, striking the perfect balance between learning and enjoyment. I’ve seen an incredible progress in my son’s football skills, understanding of the game, and overall enthusiasm for sports in just a few months. Most importantly, he always finishes sessions with a huge smile on his face!
I highly recommend Alfie to any parent looking for a dedicated and inspiring coach who truly connects with kids and helps them growin football.We wanted to get some additional 1-on-1 coaching for my son to support his technical development (alongside the training that he does with his Sunday league team).
We have been delighted with the support that Alfie has provided.
Sessions are well organised and structured-with a clear focus behind each drill. The level of technical detail that is covered is really impressive. Alfie also takes time to cover the mental side of the game-talking with my son about challenges that have come up in recent matches and how best to deal with them.
Feedback to parents is really good as well. This includes video clips each week showing the main focus of the session and the work covered.
All in all, an outstanding experience and a five star coach.
I’m a complete beginner adult footballer, and Alfie taught me some of the most important essentials during the first two lessons. He gave me just the right amount of challenges so I feel like I’m learning, but also having fun and building confidence to this new sport. I also find his calm demeanour very helpful with learning in general. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn from the best!
Alfie was knowledgeable, adapted to the groups needs, and came prepared with equipment and a solid lesson plan. Exactly what the doctor ordered!
I would highly recommend Alfie, as he is a highly experienced coach who only after a single lesson improved my technical football ability. He was very helpful and had a lot of knowledge about football which provided me to dribble with more efficiency and confidence, which immensely paced up my ability when playing football and made it a lot more enjoyable.
Alfie is very kind and encouraging with my children whilst also developing their football skills. He is always giving them tips on how to improve and the kids love their sessions with him!
Alfie helped our son, who previously had little to do with football, build the necessary skills and confidence to pursue football as a professional goalkeeper. In less than one year our son joined a local team in Richmond and was soon invited to several academies. Now, at age of 10, our son is playing as a goalkeeper for U12 team at the Elite London Academy Juventus. This all was possible because Alfie found a way to connect with our initially shy son that built his confidence to become a team player, as well lead with empathy and determination. Sessions with Alfie are always the best thing to look forward to (actual quote from our son).
Alfie worked with us at Harrow School to run 15 hours of bespoke football training with international students. He was professional and knowledgeable and it was a pleasure having him as part of Harrow School Short Courses. I would recommend Alfie for 1-2-1 and group training sessions. Josh (Harrow School)
Best football session I ever had. Alfie showed me how to play simply and elegantly. I recommend Alfie to anyone looking for proper football coaching.
My 7 years son did 3 sessions with Alfie.. he taught him new skills and helped him to underarnd football fundamentals better. Alfie was flexible and on time.. highly recommended
We have had a wonderful experience with Alfie, one-on-one and in a small group! He focuses on the individual child - their strengths and areas for improvement, as well as temperament. His training develops a well-thought out balance of skills, athleticism & match play. He keeps the children focused and motivated, even on drills that can be frustrating. His demeanor is caring, yet he expects and inspires a level of focus, concentration and seriousness. His approach develops intrinsic motivation, and encourages the children to cooperate with him and support each other. We are so thankful to have found him!
Alfie has been a great coach to our son. His sessions are always varied and technical and most importantly fun. Would throughly recommend Alfie!

I have had the pleasure of working with Alfie for the last 2 and a half years as he prepared for a soccer scholarship to university in America and have remained in contact since.
Alfie was and still is to this date one of the most mature and focused young men I have had the pleasure of working with.
Alfie works very hard on both his academic work and on the pitch, with constant desire to improve. He is always looking to better himself and I believe Alfie is a worthy mentor to any young athlete/student.View more recommendations
