One conversation that I seem to have more and more with players and parents at the minute is that;
"There aren't any clubs playing at the level that I want to play at"
or
"The clubs that I want to join don't have space"
I feel the frustrations and I get it. It is a similar story in academy football.
The problem is, that development doesn't stop just because the opportunities aren't available at this time.
I see players that want to push forward and ready for the next challenge but they are just stuck.
Too many talented players are stuck between grassroots football and the next step. They're ready to push on but don't have the environment, guidance or pathway to help them get there.
That's exactly why I'm launching the Chris Honor Performance Centre of Excellence.
After 25+ years in football as a manager, director of football, scout, recruiter and strength & conditioning coach, I've built a unique understanding of what clubs are actually looking for.
This isn't an overcrowded academy where players become numbers.
Sessions will be capped to ensure every player receives individual support, honest feedback, structured coaching and real development opportunities.
My goal is simple:
Develop players.
Create opportunities.
Help them progress.
