We do, but a lot of the times the females make it hard for coaches like him to stay in coaching.

We need someone like this in this country for English kids.

Great documentary i wish it was longer!

South West London has so many kids with talent all wanting a chance and I am glad Afewee is doing well and can show that hard work pays off

Good lad, proper Jamaican accent, none of this silly kids street rubbish, which is put on. Your a great mentor.

Would love a place like this for my boy. No messing attitude. We'll done sir

mannnnn, this is great!

Wow... Nearly shed s tear when it got to the end. Powerful!

I think at the end of the day these guys are doing the best they can, and well done for doing something instead of just talking about it. Communities need outlets like these. This approach wont work for everyone. Some will make it this way, and some won't. Some will be able to transfer the values and principles they will learn here (commitment, control, communication to work as a team, goal setting etc), and some won't. Its great that this is a reference point. If someone watches this, and thinks they can do better, then they should, and good luck to them if they can. Talk is cheap. AFEEWE, AFEE- MEE!

Great film! Loved the closeness to the characters, and the rawness of the storytelling.

Thank you for your comments. Glad you liked the film.

Very good film and a breath of fresh air. Didnt here that silly street slang once!!!

Great film Ray. Emma

Okay I trained with Jamie Lawrence in Wandsworth and there were actual pros there like Clinton Morrison and Marvin Elliott and the training was never like this. The standard and the intensity of the drills spoke for themselves. Sometimes he was tough on you but in a FOOTBALLING way like making fun of you if you wernt technically at the level but it was always enjoyable. If this guy was my coach i would have quit on the first day. And yes football is about FUN expecially when youre 9 years old!

"don't bother just sit in the house reading books" If you want to get to the top, it's hard to get straight A's on the way there.

Yo who mad this gem

I might be wrong correct me if i am but isnt the steadman scott bit at the start from bts no hunger in paradise

39 seconds in the guy dealt with boys the way you should deal with them

This is one of the factors why young kids quit football

Doctor MindBenDa it's not even that g the teens now look at it from the long term vision if the coach yells at them they think they won't make it and it stops there.

Sorry I don’t think you need to talk like that to get your point across, give instructions but don’t shout you won’t get the best out of the players that way

Exacly... what manners does he give? They are children and you can teach them great football without having mouth like that. They need to laught, smile, enjoy and work hard. I would never put my child in there with him.

This isn’t leisure football, this is training to become a footballer, a career path that is heavily pressured. Watch a game and see how the coaches interact with their players. If these kids were to play leisurely in parks for fun they wouldn’t have the opportunities to be referred, trialled or scouted to academies or scouted to be signed to football clubs. Discipline and boundaries are required to succeed especially in sports. Great documentary btw!
