James has trained with Adam for a number of years. He loves the sessions and working with Adam.
The 1:2:1 sessions are well thought out - challenging and pushing James physically, and technically, and working on skills and position-specific skills. He has inspired and motivated James and his encouragement, support, and coaching has helped James to push on with his football journey. Thank You, Adam.

My son, Ben started with Adam several years ago, attending training camps during holidays and group training sessions on weeknights. Adam is an excellent coach who is able to relate with and build rapport with children of all ages and abilities. His sessions are always fun, varied, and engaging. Adam has definitely played a big part in Ben’s development in football over the years and has also coached him more recently in quality and technical 1:1 sessions specifically tailored to enhance his skills further. Since Ben has signed for Newport County Academy, Adam has also given up his time to attend some of his matches and incorporated development areas into his 1:1 sessions. I would highly recommend Adam as a first-class coach who has a genuine interest and passion for seeing youngsters progress and enjoy their football.

It is not easy to find great 121 performance training. Not every coaching company delivers. Adam and Gavin are tremendous. We asked for performance training and that is what we have got. Susanna looks forward to every session, is pushed to improve her ability, and has developed in speed, skill, and confidence. Gavin always adds his experience and tips as a winger forward to add context to the drills and training. It is the small detail that makes a big difference in personalised training. Excellent training, excellent coaches.

Fantastic coaches have made a significant contribution to improving not only my son's skills but also his confidence and self-belief, resulting in an academy place. I would highly recommend it!

Steve Richards, Parent
We were recommended to Extra Time by my son's first-team coach. Since his extra training, my son has improved his confidence, fitness, and technical ability. The Holiday camps are a must for any young budding footballer totally enjoyable with plenty of challenges throughout the week.
Extra Time also offered 1-1 sessions which are technical and will focus on their weaknesses.
Adam and his Highly Qualified team are a must for any up-and-coming stars.

I remember the journey home after picking my son up from his 1st session, as I'd never seen Sam so enthusiastic about what he'd done at training before. I was blown away & had to see what all the fuss was about. So, I watched his next session & instantly it made sense. Watching Adam in action (as an enthusiastic dad/coach) was inspirational, how attentive he was to every child, and the way he interacted with them & had them in the palm of his hand when it came to conducting a training session. It was just superb from start to finish & a real eye-opener when I looked back at the sessions I'd been taking with Sam's local team.
I couldn't recommend anyone better to spend a little extra time to help your son/daughter reach their potential, in the most fun, relaxed & friendly environment possible.

My son went to Extra Time's first 4-day soccer camp. I would say it's one of the best camps he has been to so far in Swansea. Learning new things and making it fun, with experienced professional coaches. it was set up in a lovely way bringing the soccer curriculum into the camp and making it a fun way to learn. Each day the players did different challenges and the boys won prizes at the end of the week. which I thought was very nice and thoughtful for the children. My son really enjoyed it! It's great value for money also! Highly recommend. I was truly amazed by the training.

So happy I made the decision to put bobby in the footy camp during half term. Bobby's been passionate about football since he was a baby. Always kicked the ball out of the garden and been on numerous teams. As he got older and fortnight was introduced he seemed to have lost his passion for the game. After being with Adam and the boys all week he played in his local team yesterday at a tournament and was absolutely outstanding. He has done so well that he's even got scouted for Swans trials. He understood his positioning better which is something me and his Dad mentioned to Adam. Not only was he playing Better he was much more confident and really enjoyed playing. Highly recommend Adam and the boys. Bobby loved the camp and will continue with the extra training.

Cori has been going to extra time training weekly for nearly a year and absolutely loves it. When the option of may holiday camp came up he was so excited and couldn’t wait for it, and it more than exceeded our expectations! Cori loved every minute of it and can’t wait for the next one!! Can’t fault the way it was structured and highly recommended it.
We would like to thank all the coaches for all their effort and hard work with the boys it certainly pays off.

Whilst in Swansea for a short break, over this Christmas we were looking for a quality coaching session for our 12-year-old son. Luckily we came across Extra Time and the session my son had with Adam more than met our expectations. From agility and balance drills, skills, and shooting. Ashley enjoyed a great one-to-one session. Thanks again Adam and next time we are in town we will be re-booking! Paul (Shropshire).

Adam provided some extra training for my son for around 2 months. He worked on his speed, free kicks, and core strength and I would definitely recommend him. He is excellent at what he does, has a great repour with kids, and is a really nice guy. Thanks for your help.

I’d like to say a massive thank you to Extra Time and Adam for the way he has coached my son Cody over the years, I’ve played at a professional level but sometimes your son will not listen or take in advice that you offer them. Adam has excellent knowledge of the game and understands players' weaknesses and strengths so he can work with them to become more confident, believe in their ability, and become a better player/person.
Massive thanks Extra Time for helping Cody.

My son, Rahul has been going to Extra Time for over a year and I’ve seen a huge improvement in the way he plays football. I could not recommend them enough as they have brought my son on leaps and bounds this past year. Adam is an amazing person who is compassionate and understands children - I can not speak highly enough!

Andrew Pugh, Parent
Adam is a fantastic coach who thrives on building confidence with the players he works with. Adam identifies areas of strength and encourages performance and also targets the areas of development without it sounding like a weakness. My son loved being coached by Adam and I could see the results in improvements in his confidence and technique. I would highly recommend Adam - Great guy, approachable, honest, and has a passion for the development of the people he is coaching.

Christopher Evans, Parent
We first met Adam about 3 years ago whilst he was coaching.
My son Lewys instantly took a shine to him. Adam was understanding, patient, and fun to be around with a cool calm attitude. All the kids had a great rapport with him and he was with them. Adams's technical ability is outstanding from one to one, in small groups, and leading teams into the competition. Really can't speak highly enough of Adam on a professional and personal matter.
In Lewys words 'he just made it fun!'

Extra Time coaches are enthusiastic, very experienced, focused, structured, and above all were absolutely brilliant with my son. They are a positive influence and will bring out the very best in your child.

My son has been going to Adam's Extra Time coaching for nearly a year and has loved every minute of his training sessions. The coaches are all so supportive of the children, so friendly, and push them to reach their potential. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for their child to progress in their football skills.

Rory O'Sullivan, Parent
My son has loved going to extra time training. Adam and the other coaches are brilliant with the kids. They don’t just run drills, they also take the time to talk through the different aspects of the drills and football in general which is sometimes overlooked. This really helped improve his understanding of situations that other coaches assume are common knowledge but isn’t always the case with young kids. Great effort from everyone involved and I fully recommend taking your child if you are wanting a fun learning environment for your child.
