Connor Phelan - Talent Identification Scout

FA Qualified Coach
Football and Athlete Enhancement Specialist

With experience as a academy and current semi-professional player, an FA qualified coach, and a bachelor's degree in Sport Science, I bring a wealth of knowledge.

Growing up around my father, Terry Phelan, a former professional footballer, and living in diverse countries like America, New Zealand, and India, I've interacted with athletes on various levels.

My vision is to offer the next generation a service that propels their performance to new heights, hones in on fine margins, and gives them a competitive edge in any situation. I foster positive networking opportunities and collaboration with likeminded individuals.

I priorities individual and long-term support, focusing on athletes' holistic development on and off the field. I build strong relationships, tailor my methods to their needs, and provide personalised coaching and feedback.

In addition, my philosophy values long-term support, cultivates a positive team culture, and helps athletes achieve their long-term goals.

In summary, I nurture athletes' well-being, growth, and success beyond their immediate performance, supporting their mindset, performance, and lifestyle enhancements throughout their careers.

Drawing from my experiences as a professional footballer's son, a current player, and my education in cutting-edge sports science, l've developed a unique expertise. I'm excited to share my DNA and knowledge with you. For any inquiries or questions, please reach out to me.
